Editors note: we recently received a
package containing the daily journal of Luther Kugler -
we wish we could tell you who this man was, but we can't
- all we have is his notes ... notes which provide an
interesting glimpse of what life was like in pre-WWI
Emmitsburg.

lived in Emmitsburg from before 1900 until after 1930.
