An Old Settler Dies

L.M. Tuttle Joins the Silent Majority

At 1:35 a.m. today, Police Judge L.M. Tuttle breathed his last. He had been unconscious since last Thursday. The immediate cause of death is attributed to uremic poisoning. He had had kidney troubles for years.

L.M. Tuttle was born at Lee, Massachusetts, July 14, 1828. He left that town when twelve years of age, removing to Oberlin, Ohio. Previous to the civil war he was engaged in farming. He enlisted as a private in 2nd Ohio Cavalry in May 1861, and was mustered out of the service as a captain in 1865--serving during the entire war. He was in the army of the Potomac under Sheridan, in Custer's brigade. He participated in many engagements, prominent among which were the battles of Fisher's Hill (at the time Sheridan made his celebrated ride) and Five Forks. He was wounded in the right knee April 6, 1865. During August and September 1865, he was chairman of the Freedman's Aid Society at Springfield, Missouri.

The deceased was married January 28, 1850 at Oberlin, Ohio to Miss Almira Horton, who died January 16, 1899 at Salina. He removed with his family from Oberlin to Brookville, this county, in April 1870. In June of the same year he moved to Salina and engaged in the butcher business. In 1873 while R.H. Bishop was mayor, he served as deputy city marshal, and during the mayoralty of W.S. Wells was appointed marshal. He served in that position continuously until the mayoralty of Smith George. He became famous in this section of the country as a courageous, determined, capable officer--than whom none better or more popular ever served in this city. No one could handle more effectively desperate and dangerous men, and his courage became almost proverbial. He also served in the capacity of deputy U.S. marshal, also in the position of Justice of the Peace. At a recent meeting of the city council he was appointed Police Judge, and had hardly entered upon the duties of that office before he was taken with his last illness. In war he was a faithful and brave soldier; in civic position, an honorable, capable officer. He was a useful citizen and respected neighbor.

He was a member of the I.O.O.F. and Knights of Pythias organizations, and as an Odd Fellow had occupied all the official chairs, also representing the order in Grand Lodge meetings and was also District Deputy. He was one of the charter members of John A. Logan Post, G.A.R. and for two terms commander of the post, being the first commander. He was also a member of the Old Settlers' Association of this county.

Ten children were born to Judge and Mrs. Tuttle, five of whom survive, viz: Henry A. Tuttle, Hubbard, Iowa; Edwin R. Tuttle, St. Louis, the well known traveling passenger agent of the Union Pacific railway; Mrs. R.E. O'Connor, San Francisco; Miss Rhoda Tuttle, Salina; and Mrs. Ethel Smith, Salina. All the children were present at his death-bed, except Mrs. O'Connor. The survivors have the sincere condolence of a large circle of Salina acquaintances.

The funeral will occur at the family residence, South Santa Fe, tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, under the guidance of the I.O.O.F. and Knights of Pythias.

Luther married HORTON, Almira on 28 Jan 1850 in Oberlin, Licking Co., Ohio, USA. Almira was born in 1831 in Vermont, USA; died on 16 Jan 1899 in Salina, Saline Co., Kansas, USA; was buried in Jan 1899 in Gypsum Hill Cemetery - Salina, Saline Co., Kansas, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Marintha Rickord, daughter of Adam L. and Eliza Gettis Rickord, was born in Carroll county, Ohio, Feb. 19, 1841 and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. A. Tuttle, in Marshall County, Iowa, May 10, 1912, aged 71 years, 3 months and 20 days.

On October 19, 1855, she was married to William Randall at Toledo, Iowa. To this union was born thirteen children, two of whom died in infancy. The remaining children are, Mrs. H. A. Tuttle, Charles and William Randall, of Marshall county, George of Lake Mills, Mrs. J. L. Benedict of St. Paul, Minn., John, Mrs. William Keller, Mrs. H. F. Cooper and Mrs. E. R. Terill of Tama County, Ira of Cottage Grove, Oregon, and Zee, of McDoel, California.

Mrs. Randall was left without a mother at the age of ten years. At the early age of thirteen years she united with the Methodist church, of which she remained a faithful member until about twelve years ago when she and Mr. Randall united with the Church of the Brethren, where they enjoyed the near friendship of its people the remaining years of their lives.

On April 9, 1910 Mrs. Randall was called upon to mourn the loss of her dear companion of over fifty four years, since which time she has been gradually failing in health. Her last sickness was of short duration and the end came peacefully as though falling asleep.

Only a few of her dear ones could be with her when the end came. Although not really unexpected, it came as a sudden shock that mother was gone. She had been so tenderly cared for by her daughter and husband, with whom she has made her home for the last six years. Her life was one of noble deeds, loving words and kindness. All loved her, who knew her.

The funeral was held at the church of the Brethren in Marion township at eleven o'clock on Monday, May 13, conducted by pastor, Rev. F. M. Wheeler. The floral offerings were many and beautiful.
