Mr. Cutter was a farmer, and owned a valuable estate lying cast of the present cemetery in Arlington, and bordering on Mystic river. He lived in a large house with brick ends, much after the model of Col. Royall's mansion in Medford, and which stood a few rods east of the residence of Mr. Joshua Robbins. It was once struck by lightning, and the mind of the owner affected. It is now demolished. He was an original character, and held peculiar views on political and religious topics, which he never failed to broach on every available occasion. Many of his ideas were indeed in advance of the times, and worthy of a better cultured intellect. He was notably eccentric in habits and disposition, and few men in his vicinity have

been more odd. His estate at his widow's decease descended to the families nearest akin. Interesting papers regarding the settlement are presented in the APPENDIX.

He occupied his father's mill, and prospering in business, enlarged the mill-pond by building a new dam and the mill now standing near Mr. S. A. Fowle's establishment, where he labored until a few months previous to his death.

About 1803-4 he built the house-corner Main and Water Streets -now owned by his daughter and occupied by his grandson, Mr. Henry C. Whittemore. He resided in this house until his death.
