SCHUYLER SIMPSON
TUTTLE, M. D., one of the youngest class of physicians, who
is fast advancing to the front as one of the most successful
practitioners of Van Wert, was born in this city Sept. 1, 1869.
He is a son of M. H. and Mary J. (Murphy) Tuttle, honored
residents of Van Wert. During his boyhood Schuyler S.
Tuttle attended the district schools and then entered
Middlepoint Academy, from which he graduated with the class of 1885.
He entered upon the actual duties of life as as bookkeeper for
Thaddeus S. Gilliland, of Van Wert, and later was a teacher in
the schools of Union township, being thus engaged for a couple of
terms before he commenced the study of medicine in the office of
Dr. E. L. Wilkinson, of Van Wert. Two years were spent in
hard study, the first under the able preceptorship of Dr.
Wilkinson, and the last, in his own home. Being
appointed to a position on the staff of the Newburg Insane Asylum,
Cleveland, he spent one year in that institution and thence went to
Chicago, where he entered Rush Medical College, graduating Mar. 28,
1893.
Dr. Tuttle determined to practice his profession
in his native town, among his friends, althought he realized
that a young physician has usually a better chance to establish
himself among strangers. But having perfect confidence in his
ability to succeed in the home field, he opened his office, he
opened his office in Van Wert, and the success attending his
ministrations soon won him the confidence of the public and placed
him among the leading physicians of the community.
On Oct. 4, 1893, Dr. Schuyler S. Tuttle was
married to Mary C. Clay, who was born in Mendon, Ohio, Oct.
24, 1872, and is a daughter of John Clay. There are two
children of his union - Miles Henderson, born Nov. 16, 1894,
and Eugenia Elizabeth, Nov. 18, 1904. Mrs. Tuttle
is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which she is a
zealous worker, and their hospitable home, on "West Main street, is
the prolific source of many a charitable act, as well as a magnet
which makes it a social center. The Doctor is prominently
connected with the Northwestern Ohio Medical Association and the Van
Wert County Medical Society. He is also a member of Van Wert
Lodge, No. 218, F. & A. M., and the Knights of Pythias. In
politics he affiliates with the Republicans.
