| 26596 | North Tonawanda NY Evening News - 9/29/1956 Mrs. Robert L. Luke Sr., 46 Niagara St., North Tonawanda, has a recipe for mothers who mourn. It has worked for her. She says it will work for others. She puts service to others above herself. In June, Mrs. Luke received a tiny gold bar at the Buffalo Veterans Administration Hospital for 1,000 hours of service to others. Her pay has been the happiness she has earned from trying to make others happy. REHABILITATION CHAIRMAN of Tonawandas Auxiliary 264, American Legion, Mrs. Luke goes to the Buffalo hospital at least once a week. She has done every kind of hospital work which volunteers can do. She is a member of the Veterans Administration Voluntary Services. Although Mrs. Luke has undergone surgery three times - she's just recovering from her third operation- she never mentions the fact, to patients. She spends time at the hospital dispensing cheer to veterans. Friday mornings, she greets new patients while she helps to admit them to the hospital. At other times, she visits particularly 'with those "who seem forgotten." LOSS OF HER SON, Robert Luke Jr., in World War II helped to channel Mrs. Luke's career as a homemaker to one of dedicated service to the ailing and disabled. She helped to found and headed the Gold Star Mothers in the Twin Cities. Wrhen her term ended ij 1952 as president, she became president of Tonawandas Auxiliary 264, American Legion. By then, Mrs. Luke already was active in her hospital projects. Mrs. Luke is the former Margaret Dorothea Brock. She was born in 1903 on an 11-acre farm in Division St. After completing Pine Woods and North Tonawanda High School classes, she became the Twin Cities' original "fiveand- dime" girl in a Woolworth Store at 35 S. Niagara St. She was married May 17,1921. Her husband is a* Richardson Boat employe and a World War I veteran. Their son,, Dean, is North Tonawanda Fire Department\ naster mechanic. Their daughter and nefct-door neighbor, Carol, is the ife of JGordon Seabert. Mrs. Luke receives much inspiration from h er membership in the North Tonawanda Church of Christ. | BROCK, Margaret Dorothea (I174013)
