"Friend Tuttle, b. Dec. 16, 1781; removed from Cheshire, CT to Lawsville, Susquehanna Co, PA, where he helped to form the church, and was its clerk for many years and until his death, Dec. 19, 1820. An obituary in the local paper speaks of him in the highest terms as an active and useful citizen and a devoted christian. The whole community mourned his loss. "He was eminently a peace maker." He m. May 21, 1804, Eunice, dau. of Rufus and Tamar Lines, b. in Cheshire, Conn., Nov. 5, 1784; this was the first marriage in Lawsville. She died in Franklin, Aug. 13, 1869 in her 85th year; nearly the last survivor of the first settlers of Lawsville. She was left a widow with eight children to provide and care for, and as an instance of the toils and privations of pioneer life in the wilderness it is related that once, in company with Mrs. Merriman, she went twenty miles to procure as many potatoes as she could carry on the back of her horse. She lived to see her children all settled in life and the heads of families. She was a woman of peculiar energy, a devoted christian, and the memory of her life of unwearied and victorioius conflict, with many trials and difficulties, and of her many virtues, is a precious legacy to her descendants."
