CHARLES K. TUTTLE, the druggist of the little town of Pacific Grove, was born in
Benicia, California, December 29, 1859. He was educated in the high schools of
San Francisco, and graduated at the early age of sixteen. After graduating he
started immediately to learn the drug business under Coffin & Maylew, with whom
he remained five years, filling the position of head clerk, when he severed his
connection with them to open and manage a drug store for J. C. Scott, of
Salinas. He was well and favorably known in Salinas for three years, after which
he conducted a dispensary for James Murphy, in San Francisco. His health
failing, he decided to locate in Pacific Grove and open a small drug store, only
intending to run it a few months, until health was restored, but the climate
proved so beneficial that he has since made this town his home, and now he
possesses one of the neatest pharmacies in the entire county. It has become a
very profitable business and his stock is very complete in ail drugs, stationery
and other articles usually found in a drugstore. For fifteen years Mr. Tuttle
has made Pacific Grove his home and is much attached to the place.

  Mr. Tuttle is a son of Captain Joseph Tuttle, a Mexican soldier and pioneer of
California, having come to the State in 1849 as an attache of the Government. He
served as Quartermaster agent at Benicia stores, California. In 1860 he
organized a company of United States troops and was chosen Captain of Company I,
Fifth Regiment of California Volunteers, and as such spent two years in Arizona.
Later he was appointed Chief Quartermaster of Arizona, stationed at Fort
Whipple. He was mustered out of service at the close of the war. Captain Tuttle
married Miss Jane Kirkhaw, an estimable lady of English parentage, and the
result of this union is two sons and two daughters, of whom our subject is the
second youngest.

  Mr. Tuttle, our subject, was married, July 25, 1888, to Miss Emily Youman, a
daughter of Thaddeus Youman and a niece of Dr. O. S. Tremuer, of Pacific Grove.
Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle have one son, Floyd L., and a daughter, Gladys.

  In spite of the many business cares that demand his attention, Mr. Tuttle
finds plenty of time to use his camera, and has one of the finest collections of
photographs of the beautiful scenery around Pacific Grove, extant, the sale of
which forms an important feature of his business. Mr. Tuttle is a member of the
City Board of Trustees, a position which he is eminently qualified to fill. He
is possessed of the social elements necessary to success in that line and he is
also very popular in his business. Mr. Tuttle has musical talent in marked
decree, which he has developed as far as his time has permitted, and as an
organist he is an artist.
