Capt. Benjamin Pawling Shuler, born Sep 13, 1829 in White Deer Valley, Lycoming Co., PA, to Samuel and Margaret Shuler died Apr 2, 1922. He married Abbie Elizabeth Tidd, d/o Betsy Tidd in Minneapolis on Jan 17, 1863. Abbie (or Abby) is buried in the same plot.
Betsy E. Nolan (or Knowland or Knowlen) married Mr. Tidd in Maine about 1822. They had several children; Isaiah (born in Penobscot, Maine), Darius, Tristram, Abbie, Fatima and Jack Tidd. After the death of Mr. Tidd in Maine, Betsy Tidd married Asa Tuttle on Oct 24, 1841 in Edinburg, Penobscot, Maine. The youngest, Fatima, was adopted by Asa and carried his surname; Tuttle. A son, G. W. Tuttle, was born in 1845 Maine to this union and appears in the 1857 Anoka, Minnesota Territorial census with his mother and the Tidd's. Although Jack Tidd is not mentioned in any of the Ancestry, Familysearch or Minnesota indices, he is mentioned multiple times in the St. Paul Globe between 1878 and 1895 as a lumberman, the brother-in-law of Indian agent Benjamin Shuler, Abbie Tidd's husband.
The lumbering profession in Maine had become slim pickings by this time and the lumbermen began moving into northern Minnesota to tap its virgin forests. After the death of Asa Tuttle, Betsy brought her family to Anoka, Minnesota territory in 1855 on one of the first trains west after the government signed the treaty with the Sioux Indians. In the Quaker communities of the East the engine was something new and viewed as a terrible monster; nothing good could come from that fiery monster and that anything which would send forth sparks, cinders and smoke could only be the work of the devil. Darius and Tristram were lumbermen.
Other Tidds that showed up in Anoka at the same time were Freeman and Grant who may have also been their children. From 1857 until her death in 1873 Betsy Tuttle lived with Tristram and his family in Anoka, then St. Anthony. Freeman was also a lumberman.
Ben had served in Co's A & H, 9th Minnesota Infantry, was a Congressman and Indian Agent in Minnesota, and a past Mayor, member of the Town Council, and on the Library Board of the City of Los Gatos.
"DEATH OF MRS. SHULER
A large number of friend paid honor to the memory of Mrs. Abbie Shuler Sunday afternoon at the Place funeral home. Mrs. Shuler, who passed away on Thursday after a brief illness, was well known through her residence of 26 years in Los Gatos and through her affiliations with the Eastern Star, the Rebekah lodge and most of all through her work in the Woman's Relief corps. Beautiful floral pieces brought their tender message of sympathy. The words, "Our President," on a piece from the W. R. C., told the story of the loss to that order which she was serving for the third term. Miss Emily Baker and Mrs. P. J. Philips sang "Jesus Lover of My Soul" and "The Valley of Peace," followed by Mrs. Charles Ricketts with "Nearer My God to Thee." Professor W. J. Meredith, a valued friend, told briefly of the life of Mrs. Shuler and read comforting passages of Scripture. The impressive ritualistic service of the W. R. C. was fittingly used by the sisters with whom she had worked for so many years. Mrs. Shuler is survived by her husband, Captain Benjamin P. Shuler; a sister, Mrs. Fatima Tyson of Kennedy road, and several nieces and nephews."
