Tuttle's Company, Wigfall Mounted Infantry Reserve Company, Fayette County State Troops (Beat No. 7). About 1875 Jim went out to cut down a tree in the woods on Criswell Hill. Tom went with him. The tree was half cut through when Jim said he was sick. Tom took him home where he died in a short while, most likely from a heart attack. The old tree is still standing in 1959, and is probably still standing today.
