SARAH JOHNSTON TUTTLE
Died at her home in Manti on Feb. 12th, 1895, Sarah Johnston Tuttle.
Sister Tuttle was born in the western part of the state of New York on April 22nd, 1820. Her parents dying in her infancy she was raised by an elder sister; she joined the Church in her early youth, and in company with her sister and family gathered with the Saints at Kirtland, and was present at the dedication of the Kirtland Temple; later she took up her line of march to join the Saints in Missouri, but upon arriving at Carthage, Illinois, word was received that they had been driven from their homes in that state, consequently Sister Tuttle and her relatives took up their abode in Carthage and were there at the time of the martyrdom. About this time she became acquainted with and married a young man named George W. Johnston. Soon after he was called to perform a mission in the state of Michigan, and she accompanied her husband and rendered him valuable assistance in his missionary labors, being even in her early youth a faithful and devout Latter-day Saint. Upon Brother Johnston's return from his field of labor he and his wife lived in Nauvoo, until after the Saints were driven out of that city. Brother Johnston started with the Pioneers but was sent back before the journey was accomplished, but returned in 1851 with his family. Sister Johnson was not blessed with children, but the children of her husband in the order of patriarchial marriage were tenderly loved and cared for by her. While on the Plains Brother Johnston, together with his mother and sister, fell victims to the cholera which did such tearful execution in the year 1851. Sister Johnston, being left dependent on her own resources, was soon after married to Williams Mills, with whom she came to Utah and settled in Salt Lake for a short time. They were then called to go to the frontier settlement of Manti, in Sanpete County, and during the Indian troubles in 1853 Bro. Mills was killed. Being left a widow for the second time, she was sought in marriage by Brother John Tuttle, who had some time been bereft of his wife, and was sadly in need of a mother for his little children. She accepted the charge, and her fidelity to the trust was abundantly attested by the sorrowing children and grandchildren who followed her remains to her last resting place.
Sister Tuttle was truly a wonderful woman. She was in every respect a faithful and consistent Latter-day Saint. She was a woman of rare financial ability and was generous to a fault in responding to every call for the upbuilding of Zion. She contributed more than any other individual to the building of the Manti Temple, the means being the fruits of her own industry. She was called to officiate as a worker in the Manti Temple soon after its dedication and has labored in that capacity ever since. The redemption of the dead has always been a subject of vital interest to her and she has been instrumental in redeeming a large number of her kindred. Her loyalty and devotion to every principle of the Gospel was unquestioned as well as her fidelity to the Priesthood. In the days of persecution under the Edmunds law her doors were always open to the oppressed. She was also president of the teachers of the Manti North ward Relief Society for many years and was an able and efficient officer as well as a faithful member. She remembered with pride and pleasure her personal acquaintance with the Prophet Joseph and looked forward with joy to the times when she would meet him in the world to come. Of her it can be truthfully said, "That she has fought the good fight and has kept the faith," and has gone to receive her reward, to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection crowned with immortality and eternal life.
