From a Waltonville newspaper, 1912, re. the death of Ella (Tuttle) Hagle, wife of John Andrew Hagle:

Mrs. J.A. Hagle, nee Ella Tuttle, was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, Jan. 8, 1861, departed this life at her home near Waltonville, Jan. 23, 1912.

To this union were born 8 children. Mrs. Christa (Hagle) Grace, Walter, Mrs. Ruby (Hagle) Fairchild, Myrtle, Harry, Iva, Victoria and Luella. Myrtle died in infancy, the others, with the father survive to mourn the departure of a loving wife and mother.

She also leaves one sister, Mrs. Linnie Freeman, and one brother W.B. Tuttle, besides a number of other relatives.

Mrs. Hagle had been a sufferer from cancer for many months but her death came as a great shock to her family, as she had been feeling greatly improved for several days, and death came very suddenly.

Vernon: Mr. and Mrs. George Grace of Chafee, Mo.; and Walter Hagle of Iowa. Miss Iva Hagle came home from Jacksonville several days ago to be at the bedside of her mother.
