Edwards, Rev. Jonathan. "An Illustrated History of Spokane County, State of Washington." San Francisco: W. H. Lever, 1900. p. 586. DR. HENRY B. LUHN physician and surgeon, rooms 201-2-3 Peyton building, a pioneer of 1886, was born in New York, August 14, 1867. His boyhood days were spent on the plains with his father, Captain G. L. Luhn, but at the early age of thirteen he entered the Villanowa College, near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and when sixteen years old he became a student in the Notre Dame University, Indiana, from which he graduated three years later. He then enrolled in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, receiving his M.D. degree when only twenty-three years old. Being desirous of attaining a thorough familiarity with his profession, he next spent two years in hospital practice in Philadelphia, after which he returned to Spokane and opened an office here. Dr. Luhn has spared no labor in his efforts to become a thoroughly proficient physician, and he has attained to a standing in his profession seldom reached by men of his age. Indeed, it is not often that we find a physician so young as Doctor Luhn, who has had such an extensive experience, for he had completed his college work and was practicing in the hospitals at an early age when most doctors are still contending for honors in the universities. Dr. Luhn is a member of the Spokane County Medical Society, and of the Washington State Medical Society. He is also one of the surgeons of the National Guard and a member of the medical staff of Sacred Heart Hospital. Fraternally he affiliates with the B.P.O.E. and the F.O.A., while he also belongs to the Young Men's Institute and the S.A.A.C. He was married in New York City, June 23, 1897, to Miss A. G. Higgins, a native of New York. They are parents of two daughters, Marion and Catharine. Transcriber's additional notes: Census 1870, August 20; Laramie Co, WY; Fort Laramie, p 448 Gerhard L.
