Luther died in the Civil War. He is buried in the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery (2900 Sheridan Road, St. Louis, MO 63125), Section 52, number 923. [2] During the Civil War, Jefferson Barracks served as a training post for the Union Army. There was also a hospital at the post for the Union army's sick and wounded. ... It was set aside for the burial of military and civilian personnel who died at the garrison. In 1869 the cemetery experienced enormous growth when more than 10,200 recovered remains of soldiers originally buried at other Missouri locations including Cape Girardeau, Pilot Knob, Warsaw, and Rolla were removed here. About 470 victims of smallpox at Arsenal Island were also reinterred here. Source: http://www.cem.va.gov/cems/nchp/jeffersonbarracks.asp
