Cattleman and rancher, of Jefferson County, Mont.

Dave Tuttle brought the youngest five of his twelve children to the Jefferson Valley in 1866 and settled on Fish Creek near Whitehall, Mont. Sherman Ferson Tuttle, who was fifteen and Miles L. Tuttle, his younger brother were two of those children. Sherman later moved to Boulder, Mont., and was a prominent businessman and rancher. Miles was also a cattleman and rancher in Jefferson County. In the mid-1920s, the history classes of Whitehall High School interviewed pioneers of the area for a book, History of Jefferson Valley, published in 1928 by the local newspaper, the Jefferson Valley News. The book indicates that Ruth Jendresen interviewed Sherman in 1925 and Marie Datres interviewed Miles (date unknown). The entire interview with Sherman was published in the Jefferson Valley News in Mar. 1928.
