Education and career

Born in Leslie, Michigan, Tuttle received a Bachelor of Philosophy degree from the University of Michigan in 1892 and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Michigan Law School in 1895. He was in private practice in Leslie and Lansing, Michigan from 1895 to 1899.

Federal judicial service

On August 2, 1912, Tuttle was nominated by President William Howard Taft to a seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan vacated by Judge Alexis Caswell Angell. Tuttle was confirmed by the United States Senate on August 6, 1912, and received his commission the same day. Tuttle served in that capacity until his death on December 2, 1944.[1] He was the last federal judge who continued to serve in active service appointed by President Taft. He was interred in Woodlawn Cemetery in Leslie.[2]
