PATIENCE POWELL TUTTLE, 23 Mar 1795 - 11 Dec 1877

                 Mrs. Patience Tuttle

  We mentioned the death, last week, of old Mrs. 
Tuttle, of Pleasant Lake, and spoke of her as having 
been one of the pioneers of this county.  We were not 
at that time, however, in possession of all the data in 
regard to the deceased.  Rev. W. P. Aylsworth, who 
officiated at the funeral on Wednesday last, has kindly 
given us the following facts: 
   Mrs. Patience Tuttle, the wife and relict of 
Vanrensselear Tuttle, late of Pleasant Lake, was born 
March 23, 1795, and died December 11, 1877, aged 82 
years, 8 months and 18 days.  Born in the century 
passed and gone, she was the observer of many important 
events and changes in our government, having lived 
through the periods of three great wars in which the 
country has been involved.  She retained her memory of 
the many interesting events of those stirring times in 
the past history of the country.  And as a pioneer to 
the "new west" as this part of the world was termed 
when she came with her family to this State, she has 
had the experiences common to the early settlers, and 
lived to see the land blossom and prosper and become 
the pleasant home of substantial happiness and 
advancement.  She was the mother of a large family of 
sons and daughters, most of whom were among the early 
settlers of the county.  She leaves surviving her, 8 
children, 24 grandchildren and 50 great grandchildren.
