Bill Tuttle (swimmer)
William Jeremiah Tuttle (February 21, 1882 – February 22, 1930) was an American freestyle swimmer and water polo player who represented the United States at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri.[1] Tuttle was born on February 21, 1882 to Mrs. Louise Jane Macklin Tuttle and Mr. W. Pierce Tuttle, who had served as a one-time President of the Chicago Board of Trade.[2][3] In the 1904 Olympics, he won silver medals as a member of the U.S. 4x50-yard freestyle relay team and as a member of Chicago Athletic Association water polo team. He also competed in the 200m obstacle course in the previous Olympic competition (1900), failing to place in the individual event.[4] Tuttle died at his home in Beverly Hills, on Oakhurst Drive on February 22, 1930. He died somewhat unexpectantly after completing a round of golf at the Los Angeles Country Club where he was a member. He was survived by his widow Agnes Tuttle who had lived in Chicago and Paris. Tuttle was later buried in his family's section at the Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago.[3][2] See also
