Hi,
I found a Henry Luft and family in 1930 living in Portland, Multnomah Co., Oregon.
Henry Luft, b. Russia, 47 yrs old, marr @ 20, immigrated 1919, alien, scavenger.
Mary, wife, b. Russia, 45, marr @ 19, immigrated 1919, alien, servant private family.
Ellen M., b. Canada-English, 20, single, immigrated with parents, general office dept. store.
Margaret M., b. Canada-English, 19, single, immigrated w/ parents, receiving dept. store.
Daniel, b. Canada-English, 15, immigrated w/ family.
I looked for a Maria Elizabeth Schmick b. 1884 from Endicott/Colfax which is in Whitman Co. but didn't find a match. But she could be your Mary Luft. She could have been born in Russia, immigrated to the U.S., married Henry and moved to Canada with him.
