12224 Luttrell’s Border War Veterns - Two CDV sized tintypes
without cases show one Mr. Samuel H. Luttrell seated wearing a 3-
piece suit. He has a serious yet inviting face with rosy cheeks and long
goatee. The second tin is of Armilda Luttrell, Samuel’s wife. She sits
seated wearing a dark wool jacket with buttons on the front. Around
her neck she wears a white scarf with a pendant holding it together.
She also wears a serious expression but not have to have the same
warm welcoming face as her husband. A bit about The Luttrell’s as
found in JCHS Journal, February 1962, “Lived in the Crackerneck
neighborhood of 39th & Lee’s summit Road in Jackson County. he
came to Jackson County in 1830 and married Armilda Dalton. They
were often visited by the Kansas Redlegs and Union soldiers who took
horses, food and anything else they wanted. Once when he heard the
troops coming, Samuel hid his horses and his slave girl, Julie, in the
hazel brush on the south end of his farm (now Adair Park). The
soldiers found the horses and Julie and took them to their
headquarters at Ft. Leavenworth. Luttrell felt he could abandon the
horses, but not little Julie. He rushed to their headquarters and
managed to get her released and brought home. From this point, they
knew they would be banished from their home, and eventually they
were. During the war they had many notorious visitors. Several of the
Luttrrell relatives and friends became Quantrill men, who often took
refuge in the home. The Daltons and Youngers were distant cousins, so
Cole Younger was a frequent visitor. Both Samuel and Armilsa died in
1879 and are buried in the Luttrell family cemetery. Their old log
home is now restored and stands in the 1855 Missouri Town at Lake
JaCoMo.” $175
