OLD VETERAN ANSWERS TO THE CALL OF DEATH - From Mondays Daily
Anson C. Tuthill, 75 years old, a veteran of the civil war, was found
dead in his room at the home of A.J. Wickham, Institure street, yesterday
morning, where he had lived for the past three weeks. Death was due to
diabetes brought about by rhemuatism of many years duration, which had
made him a cripple. Mr. Tuthill was born and reared in Lowell, Lake
county, and held a mem(bership-inkspot) in the Masonic lodge there.
(inkspot) he later transferred to Markesan, Wis. He came to this city
several years ago and became a member of Chaplain Brown post, GAR.
  Mr. Tuthill had an enviable war record, and in his possession he
prized letters from some of the leaders of the war. Among this
correspondence was one from Gen. William T. Sherman. His wife preceded
him in death, and no children survive. Judge Harry B. Tuthill, of
Michigan City, was a distant relative, and Mrs. Julia Tuthill, of this
city, was related through marriage. The deceased recieved a pension of
$50 a month from the government.
  A.N. Worstell, who looked after his personal affairs, went to Lowell
yesterday and arranged for the funeral there tomorrow, when the Masonic
lodge there will officiate. Short services will be held at the Wickham
home here in the morning at 9 o'clock, prior to the departure for Lowell.
