Luke was one of Bezaleel, Jr. and
Diadama Waste's ten children. He was born while his parents were
living in Hague on Lake George in New York. Sometime after 1809,
the year Luke was born, the family returned to their old home
in Windham County, Vermont, setttling in Somerset. Luke's parents
eventually moved to Ohio. But he apparently went to live in Washington
County, New York near Lake George. He married Hannah Pratt on
March 7, 1832 in Cossayuma, Washington County. She was the daughter
of Daniel Pratt and Sarah Morey of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts.
Luke and his wife Hannah moved from
Washington County, New York, to Ohio with their two children
in 1837. They first settled in Willoughby, Ohio and came to Mayfield
in 1840. In 1850 Luke and his brother Warren were located in
Willoughby, Lake County, Ohio.
Later, the 1880 census listed Luke
as a resident of the village of Plainview, Wabasha County, Minnesota.
His son Dr. J. P. Waste and daughter-in-law Helen had been living
in Plainview since the mid-1860's.

This is taken from a book published
in July 1896
"Memorial To The Pioneer Women Of The Western Reserve"
which contains write-ups about the female pioneers in townships
in the Western Reserve.
"Hannah PRATT (Mrs.
Luke WASTE) came from Washington county, New York, with her husband
and two children in 1837. They first settled in Willoughby, and
came to Mayfield in 1840. She was a very kind-hearted woman.
She bore the noontide toil and heat, and at eventide, with tired,
folded hands, waited for the summons which should open unto her
the morning of eternal day." |
