[edit]

Born in the town of Dane, in Dane County, Wisconsin, Luse graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1876[1] and then practiced law in Watertown, Wisconsin, Waterloo, Wisconsin, and finally in Stoughton, Wisconsin. He served on the Dane County Board of Supervisors in 1880. In 1881, Luse served in the Wisconsin State Assembly as a Republican.[1][2] He then served as an Assistant Attorney General of Wisconsin. In 1904, Luse was a candidate for justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court[1] but was defeated by James C. Kerwin. Luse moved to Superior, Wisconsin, to practice law with his son Claude Luse,[1] who later became a United States district judge. He died in Superior, Wisconsin, from a heart ailment.[1][3]
