Charles Leaming Tutt, Sr., and his descendants are famous in Colorado Springs. He became a wealthy man by the time he was forty years old. ==Biography== He was born February 14, 1864 in Philadelphia, as a son of a respected doctor, Charles Pendleton Tutt, and Rebecca Leaming. His father died of typhus when he was only two years old. The Tutt family's roots stretch back to England, where one ancestor was once Lord Mayor of London and another was a member of General George Washington's staff during the American Civil War. As a child, Tutt attended the Protestant Episcopal Academy, where he met Spencer Penrose, nicknamed "Speck", who would later become Colorado's best-known mining mogul. The two boys shared another trait: both of their fathers were physicians. While Penrose went on to attend Harvard University, the death of Tutt's father forced him to quit school at an early age. Meanwhile, he earned some money as a clerk for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Somehow he landed in North Platte, Nebraska, and lost $500 in a business venture. Then he moved on to Black Forest, El Paso County, Colorado, where he bought a cattle ranch in 1884. In 1885, Tutt sold two cows to earn the return fare to Philadelphia, where he married Josephine Thayer on 29 December 1885, daughter of Martin Russell Thayer, a jurist who had served in President Abraham Lincoln's administration. They relocated to Colorado, and a year after moving to the Black Forest ranch, Josephine convinced her husband to sell out and move to Colorado Springs to start a real estate and insurance business. With Josephine Thayer he had four children, three of them died young. This son, Charles L. Tutt, Jr., born January 9, 1889, died November 1, 1961, was the only one who lived to adulthood. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles L. Tutt, Sr.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
