Ionia Weekly Standard - Friday, Dec. 29, 1916

                            MISS MARGARET TUTTLE DEAD.
                    End Came on Surgeon's Table at Grand Rapids

News of the death of Miss Margaret Tuttle, at DeVore Hospital, Grand Rapids, 
came as a startling shock to Ionia friends Tuesday night, apprehension of 
the result of her operation having been very slight. Miss Tuttle went to 
Grand Rapids Friday night, to the home of her aunt, Mrs. Smith, expecting to 
to to the hospital for operation and to be fully recovered in time to begin 
the winter term of her school to begin the winter term of her school after 
the holidays. The operation was performed at 12:30 Tuesday noon, and she 
died on the operating table. Her mother, Mrs. Norman Tuttle, was with her at 
the time and Mr. Tuttle went down as soon as the news of her death was 
brought here. 

Miss Tuttle was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle, who have lived in 
Orange township for ten or twelve years. She had four brothers--Norman, 
Victor and Donald, living at home, and Clyde of Wichita, Kansas. She was 
nineteen years old and graduated last June from both the High school and 
County Normal here, having been an apt and ambitions student. In September 
she took charge of the school at Cook's Corners, where she taught up to the 
time that school closed for Christmas.

Miss Tuttle's death is traced back to a fall in which her back was injured 
several years ago. She had suffered ever since more or less, and the last 
summer evidences of abscess or similar growth were observed. The trouble 
seemed to have been cured but other symptoms showed and tuberculosis of the 
bone was feared. The operation was decided on, and Miss Tuttle went to the 
hospital with the utmost confidence that she would recover promptly and 
completely. The sad result was due to failure of heart action under the 
anesthetic. 

The body was brought here, on the noon train Thursday and the funeral was 
held at 8:00 o'clock at the Methodist church in this city, with burial in 
the Tuttle cemetery.
