History of Callaway County-1884.

Warren W. Tuttle, who has for nearly thirty-five years, been actively and successfully identified with the business interests of Fulton and is a man who stands high in public esteem as both a businessman and citizen, is a native of Boone County, Missouri, and was born there September 10, 1833.

His father, Thomas S. Tuttle and his mother, whose maiden name was Nancy Thomas, both born in Kentucky.
In about 1837, when Warren was about 4 years of age, he came to Callaway County with his parents. His parents lived in Callaway County until their deaths. His father was by occupation a farmer and a merchant, and to both these Warren was brought up, but principally to the latter.

In early youth, Warren had the advantage of the public schools and aquired a sufficient education for all practical business purposes in this Western Country.
In 1849, he began clerking in a store in Fulton without interruption until 1855. He established a general store in Fulton, which he conducted with success until 1865, when he took charge of the work establishing and improving the Missouri Institution for the education of the Deaf and Dumb.This completed in 1867, he established the first regular, exclusive grocery store ever opened in Fulton. This proved a success and he carried on without interruption until, in 1882, when he was compelled to retire on account of failing eye sight. In 1872, while he was still in the grocery business, he erected the fine three story brick building now occupied by Samuel and Sons.
Mr Tuttle then was a member of Womack and Tuttle warehouse men, who formed a company for the purpose of erecting a large tobacco warehouse in Fulton. The idea was to handle, through the warehouse, the large tobacco crops annually grown in Callaway County.

As a businessman and citizen, Mr. Tuttle has always held a charactor in this community above reproach and was regarded as one of the most enterprising and public spirited citizens.

Mr. Tuttle had long been prominently identified with the religious and benevolet interests of the community He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and was a deacon for many years. He was long a superintendent of the Presbyterian Sunday School. After he retired, he took charge of the infant and youngest members church classes. Think of those Precious Souls that are being brought up in the way of the Lord.

On June 13, 1855, Mr. Tuttle married Miss Susan C. Dyer, of Callaway County, the daughter of Samuel and Martha T. Dyer, originally fron Virginia. From this union, six children were born, Dr. Elwood Tuttle, a prominent physician in New York City, Ernest Nesbett Tuttle, Charles Tuttle, Thomas D. Tuttle and Mary Warrena Tuttle Keithley .
