Mrs. Charles N. Tuttle.
The anxiety and deep concern, which hid been manifested throughout the community for a fortnight since the news of Mrs. C. N. Tuttle's serious illness became public, was succeeded by profounn sorrow in many hearts when it was known that the worst fears had been realized and she had passed away at 10:15 Saturday morning, September 1. Though indisposed for some time, it was not until about two weeks ago that she was confined to the house. The exact nature of the illness was difficult to determine, though it is now said to have been a form of meningitis. Emma J. Cochran was born in Stapleton township, November 1S, 1570. and her brief life was passed in this county. September 19, 1888, she was united in marriage with Mr. Charles N. Tuttle, and for several years had made her home with him in this city. Six years ago she accepted Christ as her saviour and united with the Congregational church, with which body she remained an active, loyal worker until her last illness
The funeral was held from the Congregational church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the pastor, Rev. W. A. Pottle, preaching an able sermon, which was listened to by a large concourse of people. The Modern Wood-men, of which lodge the bereaved husband is a member, were in attendance in a body. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. Interment was in Graceland cemetery. Those from abroad in attendance at the funeral were William Cochran, brother of deceased, and wife, of Seattle, Wash., who were visiting here; Mrs. F. J. Snyder, a sister, of Colman, South Dakota; Mrs. Sunderlin and Mrs. Judson Wyatt, sisters of Mr. Tuttle, and Mr. Wyatt, of Nora Springs; Mrs. G. 0. Bean and daughter Agnes of St. Paul, and Miss Winnie Geiser of Oelwein. Others of the immediate family of deceased who mourn are the mother, Mrs. Thomas Cochran, her son Charles and daughter Addie of Lawler; Mrs. G. 0. Clapham of Fredericksburg, and Mrs. William Miller of Lawler. The sunshine of a sweet life has been obscured by the shadow of death, and she whose mission on earth is thus early closed has passed on to her reward. Her's was the kindly, gentle nature of the true Chriitian. No effort was too grim for her to undertake in behalf of kindred and friends. Unselfish devotion to duty marked her every action, and in the hearts of all who knew her is enshrined the remembrance of one who walked her path of life white-souled. with a heart big with the charity of human kindness and with faith in the guidance of her divine Lord and Master.
