ABIATHAR TUTTLE died at Springville, Susq. Co. Pa., March 7, 1879, aged 91 years.
He was born in Vermont in 1788, and in 1801 moved into the town of Springville,
and in it spent nearly all his subsequent life. Only two acres of land had been cleared in the town at the time of his coming into it. He began at once with his father to take his part in the toils and privations of pioneer life, working on as his strength permitted until within a few months of his death.
When eighty-one years of age he cleared between eleven and twelve dollars in fra-
ming almost alone a new house for one of his old neighbors, and after that employed himself in erecting out-buildings and in gardening when opportunity offered. He attended the Dimmock camp-meeting year before last, when Dr. Nelson and Wm. P. Abbott both preached on the Sabbath, and walked thither from his home several times, a distance of four miles. Thus until almost the end of life he enjoyed the services of religion and engaged in the secular and social duties and pleasures of life. In earlier years he was supervisor for three years, constable two years, and justice of the peace five years. In July, 1820,he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, only ten years after the first class was formed at Springville. This was formed by Elder Bigelow, and was served by George Lane, Elijah Bibbins and George Peck. The standard of religion set up in these days was very high. Lane used to say "A Christian should live so that his countenance would carry conviction to a sinner's heart." In such times Brother Tuttle became class-leader, and such was his diligence and adaptation to this work that in it he spent nearly forty years. His house was the home of the preachers, and the preaching place as well, for a long time. Then the preaching was removed to a school house, afterwards to an old storeroom, and this twenty years ago was turned into a neat church under the leadership of Brother Beckenbridge. Here Father Tuttle toiled and worshiped until the Master called him home. Patient and devoted to every interest committed to his hands, he served his generation and won the respect and love of all who knew him. "He rests from his labors and his works do follow him."
