L. C. Tuttle, Whose portrait appears in this work, was born in Rockport, New York, April 29, 1837. When he was
about four years of age his parents moved to Illinois, settling in Plainfield, Will county. He received his education
in the common schools and academies of that county. He also learned the carpenter's trade. In April, 1862, he with
his wife started across the plains to California, and arrived in the Sacramento valley, October 11th of that year.
He worked at his trade a short time when he went to farming on the Consumnes river. He then came to Mendocino county,
and in March, 1865, he settled on his present place, consisting of five hundred and forty acres, where he is engaged
in sheep and stock raising. In company with C. Bratt, he owns four thousand acres of pasture land, and over six
thousand head of sheep in Humboldt county. In 1867, he was appointed postmaster at the Sherwood Valley office,
