SURNAMES FOUND IN THIS BIOGRAPHY: BUTT

S. F. Tuttle, P. O. Fish Creek, son of David and Lucinda Tuttle,
was born in Marion Co., Ia, July 21, 1848, and remained in said
county and State until 1863, with parents. He removed to Colorado
that year, and thence to California, where he remained six
months. In 1864 he came to Montana and located at Alder Gulch,
where he engaged in placer mining. In 1868 he removed to Fish
Creek, where he settled with his father.  In 1868 he went to
Butte city, where he engaged in mining until 1870, when he
returned to the old homestead, and remained there during the
winters of 1871-72. Taking another trip to California he stayed
six months, and again returned home to Fish Creek, where he
remained until after his marriage in 1873. In 1874 he went to
Little Pipestone, where he again engaged in mining, clearing on
an average seven dollars per day; but was not long in this place
before he had to remove his wife and family to a place of safety
on account of the Indians, who were then raiding the country.  He
therefore returned to Fish Creek, but a year afterward he again
went to Pipestone and worked there until the spring of 1877. The
diggings were rich then at Pipestone. In 1877 he bought his
father's homestead, where he has since remained, engaging in
farming and stock raising. Mr. T. owns 141 acres of deeded land,
and 359 acres desert claim; is now gardening to a considerable
extent. He grows cabbage, peas, beans, turnips, strawberries,
gooseberries, currants, etc. , in abundance. Mr. Tuttle, in
company with two brothers, owns about 500 head of cattle and
fifty head of horses. He believes stock raising to be the most
profitable business in this country. He says when he first came
to this country in 1864 many began to raise potatoes and other
vegetables most successfully. This led to other branches of
farming, which has proved to be one of the most successful
industries in the Territory. Mr. S. F. Tuttle was married to Miss
D. J. Butt, March 16, 1873. Mrs. Tuttle, daughter of Jones and
Luana Butte, was born in Newton County, Mo., January 12, 1855;
removed to Montana Territory in 1866, and was educated in Helena
at the public schools. Mr. and Mrs. T. are both members of the M.
E. church. They have four children living, three boys and one
girl.
