S. G. TUTHILL (Squire G. Tuthill)
Active and energetic, S. G. Tuthill has closely watched every opportunity for
the attainment of legitimate success and has made constant progress since
starting out in the business world on his own account. He is now president of
the Red Diamond Lumber Company, one of the representative business interests of
Minneapolis and the state. A native of New York state, his birth occurred in
Chenango county, on the 14th of October, 1848, a son of George and Hannah
Tuthill. His father was a piano manu­facturer in New York state and subsequently
had charge of the planing mills at Clinton, Iowa.
At an early age S. G. Tuthill removed to Iowa with his parents and he received
his education in the schools of Clinton. After putting his textbooks aside he
started in the lumber business with C. Lamb & Sons, then being but thirteen
years of age. He remained with them until the close of the Civil war, when he
removed to Chicago and became credit man for a large wholesale grocery house. In
1882 he returned to the lumber business at Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and has
since been prominently identified with lumber interests. In 1900 he came to
Minneapolis and formed a partnership with B. F. Nelson. Ten years later he
purchased the business, the Nelsons retaining the builders supplies end, and he
has since conducted the enterprise under the name of the Red Diamond Lumber
Company, of which he is president. This concern is one of the representative
business interests of the city and state, and its growth has been notable even
in this district of rapidly developing enterprises, and its splendid success is
attributable In large measure to the executive force, keen sagacity and
discrimination of the president.
On the llth of March, 1903, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Tuthill to Miss
Elizabeth Warren Johnson, a daughter of John C. Johnson. She is a leader in the
club and social circles of this city and maintains an active interest in civic
affairs.
Mr. Tuthill is a republican of the old school and although he has never sought
nor desired public preferment, he is active in party affairs and his aid can
always be counted upon in the furtherance of every movement for the upbuilding
of the city. He is a Scottish Rite Mason, a member of the Mystic Shrine and
likewise a Knight Templar. For recreation Mr. Tuthill turns to fishing.
