"TUTTLE, James Madison, soldier, was born in Summerville, Monroe county, Ohio, Sept. 24, 1832. He removed with his father to Iowa; worked on the farm and attended the district school, and in 1853 obtained employment in a store in Farmington, Iowa, eventually becoming owner of the business. He was sheriff of Farmington in 1855; recorder and treasurer, 1859, and in 1861 recruited a company, which was attached to the 2d Iowa volunteer regiment, and of which he was chosen captain. He was promoted lieutenant-colonel, and colonel, May 16, 1861, and took part in the attack on Fort Donelson, Feb. 15, 1862, where he led the charge; was the first to enter the Confederate works, and was severely wounded.
