Chesley B. Tuller, deceased, was born in the Empire State but is numbered 
among the pioneer settlers of Wisconsin. He was but a lad when his parents
became residents of Walworth County, and in that community he was reared 
to manhood and obtained a common-school education. When he had attained 
to years of maturity, he led to the marriage altar Miss Charlotte Kees, 
the wedding taking place Feb. 2, 1861. The lady was born in Oneida County,
N. Y., and with her parents became a resident of Watertown, Jefferson Co.,
Wis. Her mother departed this life in June, 1879, but her father is still 
living and resides in Choppewa Falls, Wis. Mr. and Mrs. Tuller began their
domestic life in Walworth County, whence they removed to Fond du Lac 
County and subsequently took up their residence in Wautoma, where the 
husband spent his last days. He died at his home near that village on the 
5th of September, 1883, respected and esteemed by all who knew him. After
five years of widowhood Mrs. Tuller was again married, becoming the wife 
of Roswell Owen, whose sketch appears elsewhere.

Ten children were born of their union, seven of whom are now living: 
Addie, wife of Edward Stillman, a resident of Berlin; Lillian, wife of 
Albert Vincent of Chippewa Falls, Wis.; Frank S., who resides in the 
same place; Mary; Adelbert W.; Charles M. and Minnie E.
