A bishop since 1867, and since 1886, Daniel Tuttle receied his elementary education {n the rural schools about Windham and paid his way through Columbia University by tutoring sons of wealthy men of New York and was graduated from the General Theological Seminary, New York, in 1862.

Only 29 years old at the time, he had to wait one year before being ccn- secrated, as an ecclesiastical law makes 30 years the minimum age for a bishop. For nearly 20 years the Bishop carried on the work in the west, and was considered one of the great fig. ures inthe pioneer life of that sec tion.
