The Ionia Standard, Friday, August 22, 1890
Nelson Tuttle, for nearly half a century an honored resident of Ionia county, 
died at 4:30 o’clock on Monday morning, at his farm home three miles southeast 
of Ionia.  Mr. Tuttle came to Ionia county in the spring of 1846 and bought a 
farm in Ionia township, adjoining the one which has been his homestead for 
many years and where he died.  

He leaves a widow—his second wife, who is a sister of D. C. and Rev. R. C. 
Crawford, and six children, Phebe, wife of Erie LeValley; Eliza, wife of 
Stewart Townsend; Alman; Sarah, wife of Wm. Adgate; Mary, wife of Lewis 
Furgeson, and Martha, wife of J. H. Benedict.  These all live in Ionia 
township, except Mrs. Benedict, who resides in Orange.

Mr. Tuttle was a prominent and consistent member of the M. E. church for half 
a century and was most generous in his contributions for church and all 
charitable purposes.  He gave largely towards the construction of the LeValley 
church in his neighborhood, and has been officially identified with the church 
since his residence here.  His life exemplified his faith in Christian 
precepts.

The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon, and was very largely attended.  
Rev. Albert Smith of Orange, preached the sermon and he was assisted in the 
exercises by Rev. R. C. Crawford, Rev. A. P. Moors, Rev. A. M. Gould, and Rev. 
F. A. VanDeWalker.  Interment in Tuttle cemetery.
