[p. 377] of New Castle,
Pa., whose portrait we publish on the opposite
page, was born in the above town, Oct. 26, 1872,
and is a son of Mrs. Emeline (Cline) Lutton, a
daughter of Jacob Cline, and a sister of Major
Cline. To our subject's mother were born the
following children: Charles W., born April 25,
1858; Albert G., Dec. 10, 1859; James H., Feb.
14, 1861; Willard L., July 15 1863; Agnes J.,
Dec. 22, 1864; Mary O., July 26, 1866; Laura
E., Nov. 5, 1867; Jacob L., Jan. 24, 1870; John
K., Jan. 25, 1871; Joseph R., the subject of this
sketch; Ada, Jan. 4, 1874; Lemoin, Dec. 10,
1875; Mabel L., Sept. 20, 1876; and Nesbit, Oct.
29, 1879.
Joseph R. Lutton was educated in the High
School of New Castle, Pa., and in 1892 took a
course in the business college. After the
completion of his studies in that institution, he read
medicine under the tutelage of Dr. A. M. Cook,
and remained in his preceptor's office until 1894,
when he became a student in the University of
Georgetown, Washington, D. C., and remained
there about one year. He then entered the
University of the South, which is located at
Sewanee, Tenn., and later on took a course in the
Peabody Institute, at Nashville, Tenn., from
which he graduated in 1896; he immediately
returned to New Castle, Pa., his
native town, where he is meeting with excellent
success, considering the short time he has been
known as a professional man. What with his
especially fine education and special aptitude for
the healing art, it is predicted by many that he
will make his mark, and rise to unqualified
success. In expressing his political preferences he
is not at all backward, but proudly owns that he
is a Republican.
