The original settlers of the Brady Township area were the Pennsylvania Dutch. Lebbeus Luther, for whom Luthersburg was named, was born on March 22, 1792, in Massachusetts, and came from Bradford County to Oldtown (now Clearfield) in 1813. He became a local agent for the real estate firm of Fox and Company and sold much of their holdings in Brady Township for which Luther paid $5 per acre for 140 acres. Benjamin Bonsall, who came from Perry County in 1824, bought the first tract. Frederick Zeigler came from York County about the same time and settled near the Indian spring. The first pioneer settler in the township was James Woodside in July 1785. A monument in his memory is located in Luthersburg’s Union Cemetery. A local Luthersburg belief is that James Woodside’s ghost left a secret cave at midnight, July 29 th, of each year and prowled around the neighborhood. Shugert, Frank Harry b. December 10, 1866 d.
