ROBERT HALE TUTTLE
Robert Hale Tuttle, mechanical engineer and president of Tuttle, Wolfe &
Com­pany, is a native of Minneapolis. His birth occurred on the 28th of
December, 1890, a son of George E. and Jessie (Hale) Tuttle. The maternal
grandfather, Jefferson Hale, was one of the pioneer merchants of this section of
the country. He was a partner in the dry goods house of George W. Hale &
Company, which opened the first establish­ment of its kind in this part of the
state in the early '50s. This store stood on Wash­ington avenue, between
Marquette avenue and Second avenue, South. Later Mr. Hale was a partner of John
W. Thomas in the conduct of a mercantile business. He was one of the most
successful merchants and highly esteemed citizens of his day.
In the acquirement of his early educational training Robert Hale Tuttle attended
the public schools of this city and was a student at both East and West high
schools. In due time he enrolled in the University of Minnesota, taking a
mechanical engineer­ing course, and he subsequently entered Boston Tech, being
in the 1914 classes at both colleges. For a few years Mr. Tuttle was actively
identified with Boston concerns, gaining much practical experience, and in 1919
he returned to Minneapolis and organized the Tuttle, Whitney Company,
accountants and engineers, which was re­organized into the Tuttle Wolfe Company.
Mr. Tuttle specializes in industrial engin­eering. The firm enjoys an extensive
patronage and is one of this city's representative business interests.
On the 9th of July, 1913, occurred the marriage of Mr. Tuttle to Miss Genevieve
Palmer and to their union two daughters have been born: Margery Hale and
Katherine Palmer. The political allegiance of Mr. Tuttle is given to the
republican party and the principles for which it stands. Although he has never
sought nor desired public preferment, Mr. Tuttle is ever cognizant of the duties
and responsibilities as well as the privileges of good citizenship and no
movement for the development and improve­ment of the general welfare seeks his
aid in vain. The religious faith of Mr. Tuttle is that of the Plymouth
Congregational church.
