Belding Banner, 17 Apr 1913

Funeral services for the late Catherine L. Tuttle was held Friday, April 11, at 
the home on Ellis Ave., her pastor, Rev. W.A. Biss of the Baptist church 
officiated, the interment taking place in Otisco Cemetery near the old home of 
the deceased where she spent her girlhood days.  There was a very large 
attendance of her friends and neighbors who held her in high esteem and the 
floral offering from friends and the different orders of which she was a much 
loved member were many.

Her death after long months of suffering occurred Wednesday April 9, aged 54 
years.  She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Luick and was born at the old 
farm three miles west of Belding, November 13, 1858.  At the age of 18 years 
she began teaching school and she taught several terms of district school in 
this vicinity.  She possessed a gentle, kind and generous disposition and was 
ever ready and anxious to lend a helping hand to those unfortunately sick or in 
distress.  Her life was filled with kindly deeds which will be remembered and 
cherished as long as memory exists.  She tried to follow where she believed 
duty called and her sterling character and noble womanhood won for her the 
esteem and respect of all who knew her.

On August 9, 1878, she was married to Mr. Levi F. Tuttle, who, with one son, 
Harry, are left to mourn the loss of an affectionate wife and fond mother.  She 
is survived by her mother Mrs. John Luick of this city, and by three brothers 
and four sisters, as follows: David S. Luick, of Luther; Frank J. and Henry H. 
Luick, Mrs. Rose Parks, Mrs. May Gore and Mrs. Emma Brown, all of Belding, and 
Mrs. Etta DeVries, of Grand Rapids.

In February, 1894, Mrs. Tuttle united with the Ashley Baptist church, and in 
March, 1898, she withdrew from that church and united with the Belding Baptist 
church, where she remained a devoted member until her death.  She was a valued 
member of the Eastern Star lodge, the Degree of Honor lodge, and the Good 
Fellowship club.
