EARL CUMMINGS TULLER lost his mother, Emma Jane Cummings Tuller when she passed away in South Branch, Crawford Co., Michigan in about 1883 or early 1884. Earl, the oldest, was about 9 or 10 years old--Grace the youngest had just been born. The children in Michigan were sent back to their widowed grandmother, Sally Jane Schoonover Cummings, in Troupsburg, Steuben Co., New York on the Penna. boarder.
Their father Charles M. "Charlie" Tuller moved to Michigan then continued pressing west and ended up in Kansas and then Oklahoma. When Sally Jane became ill, she could no longer take care of the children and she died in 1889. For the most part the children were farmed out to church families in and around the boarder of Pennsylvania/New York where they had come from. Several children were sent to the regional orphanage about 50 miles away.
