Warren Tuttle.

On Sunday last this aged citizen en-
tered into rest. He was life long resi-
dent of this town, having lived during
the nearly eighty-six years of bis lie on
the place where he was born. For many
years he was a member of the Christian
Church in Cornville, until it became ex-
tinct. He will be remembered as a low
ing father, a genial friend and neighbor.
His death occurred after painful Illness
of nearly two weeks. The funeral SER
vice was conducted by DR.. Spencer.
The surviving members of his family,
besides his widow, are two sons, Warren
and Charles, who, with their families
live in the old homestead, beautiful for
situation; Mary, wife of Abel Patten,
and Sally, wife of Fred Towle, both liv-
ing in this village. Their loss is great,
but his gain is greater. His last thought
was contained in the text, II shall be
satisfied when | awake with thy like
ness"
