BiographyArrowsmith: "Graduated from Anson Academy, No. Anson, Maine Class of 1896. Attended University of Maine at Orono, Maine. After marriage, Luke an d wife
Helen Frances took residence in So.Framingham, Mass. where he worke d as an estimator for a contracting firm. He worked for John D. Rockefeller in the South and in New York after attending Univ. of Maine. Moved to So. California in 1907. There he became a partner in Houghton and Anderson construction firm in Los Angeles building fine residental and commercial properties. They operated with a complete crew of craftsmen, unlike today's practice of letting many subcontracts for different parts of a project. He retired in the late 1930's due to effects of the depression and the new practices of subcontracting which made it unfeasible to maintain their own complete crew. His forte in this business was an exceptional acumen in estimating.
During this period he lived in South Pasadena until about 1914/1 915, then Tropico (Glendale), until about 1918, then Hansen Heights (now Shadow Hills), Sunland P.O.. He was one of the original long distance commuters of the Los Angeles basin, with a 23 mile commute from Hansen Heights to downtown Los Angeles over, at first, many miles of dirt or, by today's standards, poor roads."6
