His service from Ward.1 Personal details from his wife's death notice in the Fremont(NE) Tri-Weekly Tribune of 11 May 1916, and from family genealogists, at least one of whom has him as William Mauritz Lucke - perhaps an original German spelling.

In about 1867 he married Grace Ann Chambers (1843-1870) who died having their 3rd child. He then married Margarette Elinor Vance (1843-1916) in 1871 or 1872, and they had 6 children. He died just over a month after Margarette did in 1916.

He was one of three brothers (George H., Frederick W. and William) who served in the Civil War. See more about them and their families in a massive Sullivan County genealogy page by Don Andrews and Larry Pardoe. Among the many artifacts displayed there is a 2nd Army Corps pin of William's.
