News was received in Payette on Friday of the death of A. L. Tuttle, which occurred on Tuesday, Sept. 15, 1914 at the home of his sister Mrs. S. M. Johnson in Lopez, Pennsylvania.
Mr. Tuttle was an old time resident of the Payette Bench having settled there in 1893. He was born in Homedale [sic Honesdale], Penn. June 3, 1853 and was therefore 61 years old at his death. He always enjoyed rugged health until about one year ago when he was seized with a malignant growth in the neck. Everything was done to relieve him that could be done, but as he continued to grow worse he was sent to Johns Hopkins Hospital at Baltimore, Md. and placed under the care of the celebrated surgeon, Dr. Howard Kelly. The radium treatment was employed but to no avail.
Mr. Tuttle was widely known and respected as friend and neighbor. He leaves a family of six children, Mrs. Anna Frend [sic Friend] of Roswell, Id. Mrs. Edna Quarterman of New Plymouth, Mrs. Ruth Ann Edge of Baker City, Oregon, and Ray, Ellery and Julia Tuttle who live near New Plymouth. He was a brother-in-law of M. F. Albert of Payette and of Peter Albert of New Plymouth.
