3111 Qlirmnriam Morton Tuttle, now deceased, was a member of the Board of Education for a term of three years, from August 1, 1909, to August 1, 1912. The last year of this term he was confined to his home most of the time on account 1 of illness, and was unable X to attend the meetings of ' the board. But notwith- ' standing this fact, he always kept in touch with what was being done, and his advise and counsel was always obtained by other members of the board on all important matters. Mr. Tuttle came to Huntington se v e n t e e n years ago, when the Barker Brown Shoe Company located here, and at the time of his death he was the secretary of the company and owned a large amount of the capital stock. As a citizen, Mr. Tuttle was always interested in the things which would make the community better. His uniform courtesy, kindly manner, and loyalty to his friends made him a prince among men. As a business man, he ranked among the best. When the Commercial Association was organized, about one year ago, he was chosen one of its directors, but on account of failing health, he did not accept the place. His capacity and business ability was proven in his discharge of the important duties which devolved upon him as secretary of the Barker Brown Shoe Company. He was diligent, faithful and earnest in looking after the concern's affairs, and much of its great success is due to him. He was a very busy man, but he always found time to attend the meetings of the Board of Education and to look after school affairs. And he never allowed anything to stand in the way of doing with a will what he thought was for the best interests of the schools. So well did he perform his duties, as a member of the Board, that when he retired at the end of his term, the new Board unanimously passed and spread of record a resolution heartily commending his faithful service in the schools while a member of the Board. As a man he always walked uprightly, and lent a helping hand whenever opportunity offered. In all his dealings and associations with his fellowmen he was quiet, unassuming and consistent. Mr. Tuttle's home life was ideal. He was a kind and affectionate husband and father, and loved his home and family above everything else. He was taken in the prime of life, and his untimely death was a great loss, not only to the family, but to the whole community. MORTON TUTTLE Deceased N ,r,,., l l l l l i l r
