The Ionia Standard, Friday, January 20, 1888

Mrs. Cornelia Post Tuttle, who departed from this life Friday morning Jan. 6, 
1888, was born in the town of Orleans in 1850.  She was daughter of E. B. Post 
one of the oldest pioneers of Ionia county.  When she was 14 years of age she 
was converted at Cook’s Corners in the protracted meetings which were being 
held by Rev. A. P. Moors ( Now presiding elder of the Ionia district).  In the 
year 1871 she was united in marriage to Jay A. Tuttle to whom she proved a 
devoted and loving wife.  There was born to them one child, a son, in 1872.  
There could not have been found a  more happy family than theirs.  There were 
no harsh, nor hard feelings, nothing but sweet and kind words ever passed 
their lips.  Hence it can be truly said that love reigned in that household.  
But alas!  How soon to be broken.  In 1881 Little Eddie was called home.  The 
only comfort that the stricken parents seemed to have was in their Savior, and 
the hope of meeting him on the other shore.  

About one year ago Mrs. Tuttle’s health began to fail her and at last it was 
found that that most dreadful disease of consumption had made her his victim.  
Her last sickness although suffering greatly was born with the same meek 
spirit as had characterized her whole life.  At last, after bidding her 
friends a long farewell, she dropped into that last and sweet sleep on January 
6th, as before stated.  

Her funeral was largely attended on Sunday the 8th, at Green’s Church.  In 
dear Nelia, we always found a chrisitan neighbor and a most affectionate 
friend.  To her kind husband and other relatives we extend our heartfelt 
sympathy and leave them in the care, of the dear Heavenly Father who is a 
friend to the friendless.  Peace to her memory.
