They jumped out of bed without a word and headed for the cellar in their night clothes. All that was saved was the night clothes and their lives. Nora C. Eastwood, wife of Luke, died about 1916. She realized she was dying and ask Luke to promise not to remarry until the children could provide for themselves. He raised them by himself and never remarried.
