AMOS FRANKLIN CUTTER, b. at Charlestown, Mass., 3 Jan. 1812; attended the public schools of that place until fourteen years of age, when he entered the store of Mr. Isaac Center, in Charlestown, where he remained until the year 1826, when he became an apprentice to William G. Cutter, harness and carriage maker in Boston. [Vide xiii. §î, 2.] In 1833 he went West, via New Orleans, and in 1834 started a coach-trimming and harness-making establishment in Louisville, Ky. In 1838 he sold out and settled in Madison Co., Ill., and in 1841 removed East and located in Lexington, Mass. He then established himself in Chicago, Ill., and in Dec. 1844 took up his residence in Rock Island, Ill., where he now resides. In 1849 he made a trip across the Plains to California, where he mined a few months, after which he carried on the baking business at Sacramento, until the destructive flood of 1849-50. Having lost heavily by that catastrophe, he soon afterwards returned to his home at Rock Island. In 1852 he engaged in the grocery business, and in 1854 sold his saddle, harness and trunk manufactory, and started a steam saw-mill and the lumber business. In 1859, going to Colorado, he became interested in a meat and vegetable market in Denver City, with which he was connected fifteen months. In 1861 he returned home, and again engaged in saddle and harness making. Since 1864 he has been a real-estate agent and notary public. Mr. Cutter has filled the offices of school director, county school commissioner, alderman and county commissioner. He is the inventor of what is known as "Cutter's Terre-Cotta Casing," for building purposes, and has put himself up a residence the walls of which are entirely of that material, filled with concrete or grout.

The entries extend from 1784 to 1818, the year preceding the accountant's death. The book, embracing eighty-two folios, bound in sheepskin covers, contains accounts with nearly fifty individuals of Cambridge, Charlestown and Medford, a number of whom were Cutters. Want of space forbids an extended notice of this interesting memento of an active and thrifty life. RECENT DEATHS. THE following persons have died since the foregoing sheets went to press: BENJAMIN FRANKLING CUTTER (p. 120), d. Aug. 14, 1870. BETSEY DYER CUTTER (p. 148), wife of Capt. Henry P. Hill, and daughter of the late Col. Simon Cutter, of Westbrook, died in Calais, Me., Nov. 5, 1870. HELEN ELIZABETH TEFTS (p. 178), daughter of Rev. Joseph B. and Deborah B. (Cutter) Tufts, d. in Yarmouth, Me., Nov. 27, 1870. THE LATE B. F. CUTTER. [From the Lowell Daily Courier, Aug. 24, 1870.} Mr. B. F. CUTTER died in Pelham, N. H., August 14. Mr. Cutter was born August 27, 1802. His father, Mr. John Cutter, was a highly respectable and successful farmer. His mother was a sister of the late Hon. Caleb Butler, of Groton, Mass. His earlier years were spent in working on his father's farm and attending school in his native school district. He also attended Bradford Academy some two or three terms, and was often engaged as a teacher of winter schools, and attained quite a celebrity for his management of refractory scholars. After attaining his majority, he, with other young men from Pelham, was engaged in the construction of the "Mill-Dam" in Boston. While at work there, by his exhibition of energy, decision of character, and good sound judgment, he attracted the attention of the late Hon. David Sears, of Boston, who employed him as superintendent of his farm in Brookline. There Mr. Cutter had ample means at his disposal to make such agricultural and horticultural experiments as commended themselves to his good judgment, and there he acquired much of his skill and good taste in farming, gardening and pomology, for which he has been so distinguished these late years. In 1835 he bought his father's farm and returned to Pelham, where he has lived ever since, up to the time of his death. He soon made great improvements in buildings and otherwise on his farm, and devoted a large portion of it to the cultivation of garden vegetables for market, at first, but soon added the nursery business to his other enterprises. In all this department of rural life he was remarkably successful. He brought the good common sense, sound judgment, energetic action, indomitable will and practical experience with which nature had endowed him, or education afforded, all into action, and success was certain. As a citizen, he was regarded as one of the most influential and public spirited in the town, ever ready to promote anything tending to elevate the character of the town, by his voice, vote or purse. Our schools owe much of their high character to his efforts for their improvement. He was ever ready to give any advice, or directions, in regard to farming matters, to any one who asked for such, and delighted to do it. And in this one thing alone he will be greatly missed, for his opinions have been regarded as authority in all such matters. He was free, frank and open hearted, and sometimes a little blunt in forms of expression, but every one that knew him, well knew that he always said just what he honestly believed. No one ever accused him of duplicity or hypocrisy. In his domestic relations he was a kind husband and father. A good useful education he has ever considered as of the greatest importance to his children, and such he has ever given them. Mr. Cutter abhorred all cant, hypocrisy or humbug. No new-fangled theory would receive a moment's consideration unless it commended itself to his judgment. In his writings for the agricultural press, he never gave anything but the result of his own practices, experience or observation. He was a great lover and student of Nature and its works. No animal, reptile, or even the minutest insect, but that he knew something of its nature or habits. Noticing in the woods a strawberry vine of a peculiar appearance, he transfers it to his garden; the well-known standard variety, "Cutter's Seedling," was the result. He was a great reader, but mostly of works of a scientific character. As a writer for agricultural and other publications, his articles were characteristic of the man, and will speak for themselves. For the last few years he has been troubled with lameness, which somewhat prevented him from taking so active a participation in out-door matters as formerly, and confined to the house most of the time for some months, he had kept himself busy in giving the public his views and experience on rural matters through the agricultural papers of the vicinity. This is a just but imperfect tribute to the kind husband and father, the public-spirited citizen, the obliging neighbor, the generous friend, and above all, the honest man. INDEX.
