The Tuttle-Newton Home
(Formerly Augusta Orphan Asylum)
The First of a Series of Articles Dealing With the Manner In
Which Wealthy Augnstans of Former Days Helped
Humanity By Directing Their Fortunes Into
Benevolent Channels
BY EARL B. BRASWELL.
To undertake to review In limited
h pace the wonderful achievements of
the Augusta Orphan Asylum, now
known as the Tuttle-Newton Horne,
is a task which necessarily entails
the elimination of many details, some
of them apparently minor In Import
ance; therefore I will refer chiefly in
this storv to the hi*h soots in the
chain of events wnirn combine to
Illustrate the immeasurable good that
may be accomplished by the dedica
tion of a comparatively small sum—
and its judicious administration to a
worthy, humanitarian cause.
The Tuttle-Newton Home—for six
ty odd year s known as Th»* Augusta
Orphan Asylum, until the nar nr was
changed recently In honor of the ben
efactors of the institution —lias
throughout Its long period of service
been a home In all that the term Im
plies to those children fortunate
•riough to come under its direction.
It has rescued them from lives of
uncertain destiny and fitted them to
take their places in the world on an
equal footing with their fellows, and
Just how wieely has been the actloi\
•if those responsible for this Christ
ian performance Is Indicated by the
high character and standing of hun
dreds of men and women of today
who never knew any home except The
Augusta Orphan Asylum Altogether,
this home numbers/ among Its chil
dren, both its present inmates and
those who gone forth fully equipp'd
to fight the battles of life, more than
fourteen hundred.
But to start at the beginning, it is
interesting to note Just bow the home
came Into existence, to consider the
praiseworthy impulses of those who
«w the need of such an institution
and who planned It with their hopes
based largely upon nothing more
tangible than faith, and how their
dreams began to materialise far be
yond their expectations when a
humanity loving Augustan endowed
the Institution with a fund slightly
in excess of $50,000 which acted as
an incentive several years later to
another Augustan to dedicate the
sum of $200,000 to the perpetuation
of the work
The desire to provide a home for
orphans of the community, according
to authoritative information, origi
nat'd with a small group of August
ans back In the early fifties, this de
sire leading to the passage of an act
by the Georgia legislator* in January.
1852. Incorporating Thomas W. Mil
ler, Henry H. Gumming. Hr.. Edward
F Campbell, John Mllledge, Arte
rnus t ton Id, I>*wt# I). Ford and John
R Dow into a body politic and cor
porate by the name of “The Au
gusta Orphan Asylum," and authoris
ed the city council to make such do
ns t lons as It deemed proper to the
maintenance of the association
Two years elapsed before it was
possible to get the organisation Into
workable shape, during which time
funds were raised by individual con
tribution, and in 1854 the first board
of managers was chosen with Arte
mus Gould as president. This was
followed early In 1855 by the renting
of a house which was placed in
charge of a matron, and seven or
phans were admitted to the privileges
of the asylum during the year
Thus as "groat oaks from little
acorns grow,” so It was that from an
humble beginning in a rented house
with seven orphans, the asylum has
grown and prospered during the years
until today it provides a rendezvous
for upwards or nearly one hundred
children who otherwise would he
struggling as best they could In a
world that Is not atways as thought
ful as It might be of its unfortunates.
Returning to the early days of the
asylum. Its promoters, although not
knowing whence funds were coming
for the erowth and expansion of th«
institution, nevertheless began plans

appropriated for that purpose by the

However, their problems were more
than nehred by Um liberal bequeet
made to the society in the will of
Isaac S Tuttle, a benevolent August
an who had watched with interest the
struggle of the association to finance
rta laudable undertaking Dr. Tuttle
died December 12. 1855. and an ex
amination of his will revealed the
fact that he had bequeathed to the
society the house on Walker, which
he had occupied together with other
pi iporty • mounting in value to 111
000. representing practically all of his
earthly possession*
This splendid endowment. to
which wax added the annual income
from two hundred shares of Georgia
Railroad stock, which the city coun
cil upon the recommendation of Mr.
Miller, then mayor, had previously
appropriated to tbs asylum, provided
handsomely for the Institution In Its

and. wtth subsequent sdditions. was
occupied as such fbr a period of sev
enteen years.
Four years following the Tnttle
gift, the resources of the association
w«re Increased to an extent wholly
beyond the expectations of Ita found
ers and early friends by a bequest of
Georg* M Newton, step-son of Hr.
Tuttle, who in hts will Wt the In
stitution property valued at ItOft.ooo,
a bequest that opened a field of uee
fllSSM to the Institution that had
never been dreamed of. An amend

ciety so far exceeded Its necessary
expenditures that tn I*7o when Mr.
Gould resigned after a faithful In

Plans for a new home with ac
commodation* for sixty children -this

election at the last annual meeting in
April, and Mr. Hugh H. Alexander
was chosen president. Capt. Fleming,
however, continues to reside at the
horn**, and although relieved of the
arduous duties that the responsibility
of being president entails, yet the
welfare of the home Is always his
main consideration.
The Tuttle-Newton Horne not only
provides its inmates with rudiment
ary educational advantages hut un
der certain conditions also sends some
of them to higher Institutions of
learning where they receive college
educations at the expense of the
home. The president is constantly
receiving letters from former in
mates who are leading useful live.* in
different parts of the country and
some in foreign countries as mission
aries. These letters never fall to
refer to the gratitude that the writ
ers own to the Orphan Asylum for the
start in life It gave them.
When one considers the wonderful
accomplishment* of this institution
along charitable lines, it is but nat
ural to envy the late Isaac 8. Tuttle
and George M. Newton for the vast
amount of happiness they have been
Instrumental In vouchsafing to hun
dreds of boys and girls who otherwise
may have drifted,into lives of no value
to themselves or anybody else It
Is but another Illustration of the
great rood that a comparatively small
sum of money bequeathed to a worthy
cause tain do. Had the Tuttle-Newton
thousands been left to the next of kin
who no doubt were amply able to
provide for themselves, this fortune
would probably have meant luxuries
to some twelve or fifteen Individuals;
whereas, by a wise administration of
the fund in a charitable direction,
approximately fifteen hundred chil
dren have been snatched from lives
of doubt and uncertainty and brought
up in a manner that makes for hap
piness and good citizenry.
The Tuttle-Newton Home Is a rich
institution. The directors have in
vested the trust fund wisely, much of
It now being In valuable Broad street
property; yet the demands on the
home are so great and the service
rendered ho costly that the entire In
come Is required for the maintenance
of the home, and in recent years that
has not been quite sufficient But
the home will live on as long as time
lasts and there are orphaned or un
fortunate children to be provided for,
and as the years pass, the number of
those who are thankful to God for
Isaac S. Tuttle and Georg*- M. New
ton will expand from hundreds into
thousandn.

low teachers of the Hiphzibah High
School Friday afternoon with a hose,
handkerchief and toilet shower, to which
were invited close friends, each of whom
came laden with some pretty gift for the
popular young bride-to-be.
The bridal colors of white and yellow
were used exclusively in the w’edding
decorations of the pretty apartment,
many star-like shasta daisies being effec
tively placed. The-gifts were drawn in
the room on a wagon by little Miss

Cupid. As each gift was opened by the
guest of honor, it was passed among the
group of congenial friends by Misses
Ethel Godman and Lillian Lansdell, who
were dressed as fairies, they also assist
ing in the serving of the delicious re
freshments. Accompanying each gift
was a clever little good wish for the
bride-to-be, much merriment being oc
casioned by the reading of them.
