Relocation

Paul Vincent Tuttle was born in Wells, MN, on 11/01/1881. He moved frequently throughout his life, beginning in MN, and moving to various cities in the State of CA. It was likely due to his father's work as a minister.

By 1900, he resided in a rooming house run by Joseph D. and Mimi J. Lamb on Burlington Avenue in Los Angeles, CA.
