Regarding Tuttle-Snyder House. Excerpts from the National Register nomination:
The Tuttle-Snyder Home is one of few Knox County examples of the temple form of the Greek revival style. It is also important as having been built for S.S. Tuttle, a wealthy early settler and entrepreneur of Frederick(town). Late in the 19th century it was owned as a funeral home by Ohio's only woman embalmer.
Along with other settlers from Virginia came S.S. Tuttle who established Frederick's first bank. It was about 1840 that he purchased the landand built his home. In addition to being a banker Tuttle was a substantial landowner, a manufacturer of windows and doors, and the operator of a foundry and gristmill.Photographed by Duane and Tracy Marsteller, May 25, 20242.

In 1893 the property was purchased by A. C. and Rose Owen Huddle. Mr. Huddle ran a furniture and casket making business while his wife operated an undertaking business from their home. Mrs. Huddle had attended embalming school and lectures at Starling Medical College and had assisted in the founding of the Ohio State Embalmers Association.
