Mr. Cutter was a citizen beloved and respected by all who knew him, for his upright and honorable conduct in fulfilling the various duties of life. In the domestic circle his affectionate care for all dependent upon him could not fail to excite feelings of the warmest attachment, while his intelligence and fidelity won him the confidence and regard of his townsmen, as often evinced in his election to offices of trust and responsibility in his State and town. He was perfectly frank in all his intercourse with the world; every one with whom he came in contact respected him for his fearless honesty of expression, while they might differ with him ever so much in opinion. Such men are the salt of the earth, and their departure is a calamity to society generally." Edward and Elizabeth (Nutting) Cutter had issue: i. ELIZA ANN, b. 15 Aug. 1810. ii.
