Mrs. R.G. Tuttle, 50, died at her home in Greensboro Thursday morning at 2:40, after an illness lasting about a year. For the past two weeks her condition had been considered critical.
Mrs. Tuttle, whose husband is pastor of the Centenary Methodist church, was a native of Greensboro, being, prior to her marriage, Miss Janie Gregory. She was well known in Greensboro and throughout the western part of the state. She was a member of the West Market Street Methodist Church prior to her marriage in 1902 and after that time placed her membership in the various churches served by her husband.
She spent two or more years in Albemarle, where her husband was pastor of Central Methodist Church. No minister’s wife was ever more popular or beloved among our people that was she.
She was a faithful and energetic church worker and was particularly interested in working with organizations of young people.
Surviving, in addition to her husband, are a son, Robert G. Tuttle Jr., two daughters, Misses Emily and Mirian Tuttle; five sisters, Mrs. K.G. Glenn, Misses Sue and Mary Gregory of Greensboro; Mrs. Walter Thompson of Winston-Salem, and Mrs. Metra Makley of Lenoir, and two brothers, H.T. and G.H. Gregory, both of Greensboro.
The funeral was held Friday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock at Cenentary Methodist Church, Rev. W.F. Womble, presiding elder of the Greensboro District, and Rev. R.M. Courtney of Thomasville, conducting the service. Interment was made in Green Hill Cemetery at Greensboro.
