JOHN S. TUTT, a prosperous farmer of Yolo County, is the son of Philip and
Catherine Tutt. His father, a native of Culpeper County, Virginia, followed
school teaching to 1835, and then moved to Cooper County, Missouri, where he was
County Surveyor for sixteen years, and where he died in 1871; and the mother,

  Mr. Tutt, the subject of this notice, was born in Fauquier County, Virginia,
in 1836, and when he was nine years of age he was taken by his parents to Cooper
County, Missouri. In 1849 he came overland to California, reaching Hangtown
August 15. He followed mining there during the ensuing autumn, and then went to
Nevada City, where he continued mining until the next spring. Going then to
Sacramento, he had the position of turnkey of the county jail for a time, and
then he returned to Nevada City and remained there until 1853; he then moved
into Yolo County, where he has improved 260 acres of fine land, on which he
raises live-stock and grain, and all the fruit necessary for home consumption.
He is a member of Landmark Lodge, No. 153, F. & A. M., and also of Madison
