Charles F. Lutz --- Charles
F. Lutz, born in June 1842, was the son of Frederick Guillaume Lutz and Caroline Marx (or Manse), a mulatto woman. Charles Lutz joined Captain James C. Pratt's Opelousas Guards company, which became Company F, Eighth Louisiana Infantry Regiment, on June 23, 1861. This regiment went to Virginia and formed part of a brigade commanded by Brigadier General Richard Taylor. The Eighth Louisiana fought in the battles of Winchester, Cross Keys, Port Republic, the Seven Days, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg. In the battle of Second Fredericksburg,or Marye's Heights, on May 3, 1863, Lutz fell into enemy hands with more than one hundred of his comrades. He remained in Federal prisons for about two weeks before being exchanged to rejoin his unit. At the Battle of Gettysburg, on July 2, 1863, Lutz received a severe wound in his left forearm and again became a prisoner. After holding him in a prison hospital in New York, Federal authorities exchanged Lutz on September 16, 1863, at City Point, Virginia. He went home on furlough after his release. While at Opelousas, Lutz became involved in some kind of difficulty in May or June 1864. As a result of this mysterious event, Lutz lost his right arm. He claimed in a pension application after the war that he was shot in the arm but did not elaborate on the nature of the affair. Lutz went to Texas to live with his brother in Polk County. On May 9, 1865, he received a discharge at the General Hospital at Houston on the basis of a surgeon's certificate of disability. Lutz married after the war and later moved to Westlake in Calcasieu Parish. After two attempts, Lutz finally received a Confederate pension from the state of Louisiana in 1900. Of the men discussed here, Lutz was probably the only one who passed for and enlisted as white. The federal census of
1880 and 1900 list him as such.
