She attened the Centennial in Cleveland, being a delagate yo the Convention of Pioneer Women of the Western Reserve. Despite yhe many duties of a social, literary, and charitable nature which devolved upon her, she actively superintends the old family farm which was cleared by her father 100 years ago in May of 1809.

    NOTES: Ira Tuttle was born in Torringford, Connecticut, April 2, 1788, and in 1809, when 21 years of age, came to the Western Reserve on foot, leading a cow and driving a pair of oxen. The farmer proved to be of special value when the young man reached his destination, as for several weeks befor his return to Connecticut, he lived almost entirely on berries and milk. Having determined he site of the new homestead in the new country, he returned to Connecticut on foot, and in 1810 brought his parents to the reserve, the journey made in a large covered wagon drawn by six yoke of oxen. The homestead was first established by Mill Creek, on the land he got from the Connecticut Land Company, and he lived there always. It was 600 acres in Austinburg Township,Ashtabula County, at the time the locality was known as Richfield, and six Indian tribes were found to be located on the future homestead of the Tuttles.
