Luman was born in Akron, he spent almost his entire life in Bath, OH. I saw an article where he was married at least 37 years. He is said to have drilled most of the wells in Bath Twp., he did custom threshing and sawmilling for a living. Luman played on the 1911/12 Bath Football team (Bath 1818-1868 sesquicentennial Book I) He was a veteran of both WWI & WWII. He was a member of Ellsworth Chapter 247 OES, Cuyahoga Falls No. 225 and Akron Council No. 80. He was an avid steam engine enthusiast, I saw several write ups in the Akron Beacon Journal about his rebuilding of a 1920 A.D. Baker Antique Steam trashing machine, he traveled all over Ohio each year to the many Steam Thrasher Association meets. Luman “who used to do custom Threshing and sawmill work, estimates a ton or 1,500 pounds of coal was used for a day’s Threshing”.  He took his farewell ride on his beloved machine in 1973. Luman, a distant relative of Jonathan Hale, operated a sawmill at Hale Farm and was to saw the special beams in the Covered Bridge in Bath. In the summer of 1966, he operated the Blacksmith shop at Hale Farm giving demonstrations on old time Blacksmithing in the 1820 era. He was active for many years in the Bath Grange and the Bath Zoning of Appeals. Luman served the lodge as Secretary & Treasurer. His father owned about 140 acres in the valley (now the National Park) and on his death the land was divided among him and his 2 brothers.
