Walnut Valley Times, June 6, 1902 Volume XXXIII Number 20
AT REST

After several weeks of patient suffering Mrs. Robert W. Tuttle died at four 
o'clock Monday morning at the family residence, five miles west of Burns. The 
maiden name of the deceased was Martha Alice McClarnon. She was born in Hancock 
county, Indiana, April 3, 1858 and at the time of her death, May 26th, 1902 was 
44 years, 1 month and 26 days of age. The marriage to R. W. Tuttle took place 
July 2nd 1886, and of the seven children who came of this union little Bessie 
preceded her mother to the spirit world, six remaining to share the loneliness 
of her absence with their bereaved father. In 1875 before leaving her native 
state, Sister Tuttle yielded her heart to her Divine Master and was a devoted 
member of the Methodist Episcopal church. During her long affliction she found 
great comfort in Christ and proved sustaining help of divine grace. As the end 
drew near her prayer was indeed a sweet comfort to her soul.

A very large concourse of people gathered at the Christian church in Clifford 
township for the burial services Tuesday afternoon. Her pastor, Rev. W. M. 
Runyan conducted the funeral service using Psalms 115:15, as the comforting 
assurance of God's word. Sister Tuttle was a noble woman but, more than in all 
else did she seem to excel as a patient loving, faithful mother to her 
children. Profound and genuine sympathy is felt by a wide circle of friends and 
neighbors for the bereaved husband and children.

The mother, Mrs. McClarnon and brother, Walter McClarnon, of Creighton, 
Missouri; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Bluford of El Dorado and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. 
Tuttle of Wichita, were present for the burial.- Burns Citizen.
