Colonel William P. Tuttle
Colonel William P. Tuttle was born November 4, 1847 in the town of Rutland, about six miles from Watertown, on the state road from Watertown to Utica, in Jefferson County, state of New York. He was the son of Jeremiah J. Tuttle. He was descended on his Father’s side from John Tuttle of Ipswich, Massachusetts, who came to America in 1635 on the Ship Planter. The name of his mother was Renew Pierce Tuttle, and she was a descendent of the William Pierce's who, with the John Tuttle above, were of the Pierce’s, Heath's, Tuttle’s, Weeke's, Jone's and Martin's, reputed owners of the Mayflower. His early life was spent on the farm, and one of his expressed belief was that a boy who has not grown up on a farm has, in a way, lost half of the pleasures of life. Colonel Tuttle was a former member of the North Dakota Legislature, and for several years a popular, well-known resident of Dawson prior to his passing away at the Hinsdale Sanitarium at Hinsdale, Illinois in the year of 1924. (summarized from the 1961 Tuttle 50th Anniversary book - see book for complete biography)
