I didn't know him personally. He was my grandfather's (Earl Lutz) brother. My father, William Emerson Lutz, was almost 4 years old when Melwood was killed. I remember my grandfather talking about how Melwood was killed in a car wreck on his way to see his mother when he returned home from the war.

I have attached a copy of his death certificate.

That's all I know...

Sincerely,
Jeffrey Lutz
