Strafford Guards: Dover’s Famous Military Company
How and When Organized-Brief Sketch of its Career By Ex-Quartermaster Joseph E. 
Porter

While a complete list of past commanders has not been discovered, it is learned that 
the first Captain, Moses Paul, was succeeded in turn by Captains Frye, Tibbetts and 
Curtis, while later on the writer remembers Captains William Smith, Israel Littlefield, 
Zimri Wallingford, Thomas Currier, Jasper G. Wallace, Joseph S. Abbott, George H. 
Demerritt, Frank E. Rollins, Frank H. Keenan,, Lewis E. Tuttle, John Sunderland, 
Austin E. Sanborn, and the present commander, Frank. W. Butler.
But there have been tragedies as well as festivals to record in memory of one who at 
the time of his death, June 23, 1906, was the idolized Captain of the Strafford Guards. 
                Lewis E. Tuttle was killed by the accidental discharge of his revolver on a 
stormy night while en route from his home in the suburbs to the armory. Captain Tuttle 
was honored by a military funeral at the First Parish Church, and was buried in Pine 
Hill Cemetery amid a feeling of universal sadness.
