A Niagara Falls Gazette 1929 obituary for Theodore Schultz states his service was at "St. Luke's Lutheran Church, North Ridge" with the burial in "North Ridge Cemetery". I've been told that a St. Luke's church in Newfane merged with another church and is now know as Faith Lutheran. Could this be the same church ? Does anyone know anything about "St. Luke's Lutheran Church, North Ridge", it's records, or history ? Theodore Schultz was born Mar 1858 in Germany and married Hannah (Valshon?). Their son Theodore Carl Ludwig Schultz was born 15 Feb 1892 in Somerset and married Vinnie Alwina Sophia Scharlau 30 Dec 1914 according to the St. Peter's church book. I could find no other mention of Theodore Schultz Jr or Sr or their families in the St. Peter's church book. Hence my pursuit of St. Luke's church records.
