I'm not sure where this
gathering took place, and I'm not sure who all of these
people are. I do know the date, and I know that all of
these are kinfolk of one kind or another. I am not sure
whether it was a gathering of my grandmother's Baumann
kin or my grandfather's Tuttle clan -- and it could have
been both, though my grandparents were not actually
married until several years later.
Hiram & Nancy Tuttle met and married
in Portage County, Ohio, but they moved up to Keeler,
Michigan in the mid-1850's and lived there for at least
20 years. Their daughter Ellen married in Michigan and
had her family there, but Hiram & Nancy and their
young son Arthur H. Tuttle moved back to Ohio. An
extended family gathering of this group would have
included Tuttle, McCombs, and Thompson, at least.
