D. Leonard Lutz was born April 28, 1908, at Pitsburg, Ohio, to Alpha and Susie Lutz.

He graduated from the Bethel Township high school, Miami County, in 1926. Recently he has spent two terms at Manchester College.

On December 3, 1938, he was married to Mary Oakes of West Milton, Ohio. They are the parents of two boys, David and Dennis.

The West Milton church called him to the ministry on March 2, 1943. The Barnum, Minnesota, church, of which he was the pastor at that time, ordained him an elder in August 1948.

He was a Sunday-school teacher in both the West Milton and the Beaver Creek church.

After shepherding the Barnum church for seven and one-half years, he returned to his home district in the fall of 1954 to serve the Gratis church.
