There were three people buried in the Tuttletown cemetery, but one was removed and reburied in Sonora. Two were men. One was a baby boy who was just starting to creep about on the floor. The family lived on the east side of what is now Highway 49 and about a hundred yards north of Tuttletown School Road where the cemetery is located. There is a business operating at the site of that family's home today (2010).
It was during the first decade of the 20th century when John Azevedo and the baby's father were good friends who liked to listen to 78 rpm speed records. In those days record players had "V" shaped needles that lasted for a only a few records. When one would wear out, the baby's father would throw the old needle on the floor and replace it with a new one. The baby boy was learning to move about on the floor, so John Azevedo told his friend that he feared the baby would swallow a needle. The father disagreed saying the baby wouldn't do a thing like that. Shortly after that conversation, John Azevedo took a trip to the San Francisco Bay area. When he came back, he found that the baby did indeed swallow a phonograph needle which caused his death. He was buried in the Tuttletown Cemetery.
John Azevedo passed away in the 1950s and his wife in the 1960s, so the names of the baby's family are lost in time. I found the baby's name and date of death. I have yet to find the names of his parents.
If there is anyone with the knowledge, I would like for them to email me, please.
