14. 18. Hon. Elihu Cutler, as a conspicuous citizen of H. in the last century and the early part of the present, is included with those whom it was the original design sign of this work particularly to notice ; and though the whole of his history cannot be now given, yet, considering his very great age, and the improbability of his surviving the publication of this work, I make no further apology for adding an epitome of his life. He was born of respected parents. His father was a farmer and inn- holder, and held the commission of Col. in the militia, to which great honor was then attached. His mother was a woman of natural refinement, uncommon energy, and high moral worth - truly an excellent woman. From them he inherited no fortune. But they taught him to govern his passions, to be under a subordination now obsolete, and to apply himself diligently to business ; and thereby contributed more to his future happiness and success than the largest fortune could have done without them. He passed his minority in assisting his father upon the farm and in the tavern, and in learning the trade of a wheelwright, attending, for short terms, such district schools as H., in her poverty, could then provide. Yet his mind, naturally strong and active, somehow acquired a good common education, and even mastered treatises upon metaphysics.


The information he acquired, and his ability to impart it, rendered his society attracting and profitable. Mental culture, often acquired by the study of business as well as books, carly marked his countenance and gave dignity to his manners. These, coupled with a good measure of common sense, rendered him the first young man in H. This occurred at an age when seniority gave precedence, and before men guilty of grey hairs were found unfit for council and the selection of their public ser- vants ; in an age when young men learned manners from God's word, rose up before

the fathers and modestly waited for a call to posts of distinction. Thus did young Elihu Cutler. But he did not wait long; not longer than ignorance and impudence are now forced to wait after a self-nomination or the results of a conclave of political blacklegs. His first appearance in a public capacity that I can remember was that of marshal on the great and mournful occasion of the funeral of Washington ; and well do I remember the grief which sat on all countenances, and the solemn order in which he led the procession, and the laudatory remarks of aged mourners on his part of the solemnities. From about that time, for nearly 40 years he was connected with the public measures and transactions of H .; and if not the projector of all, what one, it might be asked, was ever brought to an advantageous conclusion without him ? No portion of the influence he exerted, or of the good he accomplished, is to be measured by the offices he filled. Honest and frank in his political views as a federalist, he was soon after the origin of the opposing party thrown into a minority. But he was not the man to change his coat or anticipate the modern fashion of making him- self one of patched work, showing the colors of all parties. He stood by his prin- ciples and remained in the minority, until libels on Hartford Convention proved more efficient than truth, and the federal party were slandered into dissolution. But for that circumstance, his name had been 20 years carlier connected with the history of Mass. legislation. In 1820 he was chosen a member of the convention to amend the State Constitution, and in 1827-8 to represent H. in the House, and subse- quently the county of Middlesex, in the Senate of Mass., and was the first State senator ever chosen from H. Long prior to this he had been appointed a magistrate. But it is as a man of a symmetrical character, faithful and true in the various relations of life, as an upright, high-minded and honorable gent., and particularly as the con- stant friend and benefactor of H., that he commands our respect, and merits a grate- ful remembrance. Years after he came upon the stage, dwellings in H. were no thicker than farms. On the main street from the E. to the W. Depot, a dis- tance of 3 m., there were only 13 houses (3 once painted), 3 blacksmith and 2 wheelwright shops, and one for mending ploughs, employing 12 or 14 hands a part of the time. No shoe-shop, big as a Hessian tobacco box, was there to be seen. One tavern, one store, and his little corn-mill, accommodated the farmers. The ancient forge and trip-hammer had completed their dotage ; the soil was exhausted and science had found no remedy. All was stagnation. The young and enterpris- ing were removing, never to return. But he did not despair. He rebuilt his mill ; enlarged his shop; erected a tannery and established a point of business, such as had not before existed in the town, creating at the same time in an honorable way, much of the capital invested. He saw that H. might be redeemed and built up by manu- factories. But prejudices against them were universal, and in instances, violent. These were to be overcome. He collected information, conversed with his neighbors, and at length exhibited a feasible plan of a mill. He did not wish to furnish operatives or secure the agency ; and he could make investments elsewhere with equal or better prospects of gain. But this would give no impulse to his beloved H. He therefore formed a company of his townsmen, who crected the first mill in H., about 1814. Embarrassed as the enterprise became by a change of times, still it gave an impulse in the right direction that never stopped. Attraction, aided by his tact and powers of per- suasion, now began to overcome repulsion. Tradesmen and mechanics were induced to stop; and that more might be accommodated as well as private interest advanced, he and his brother, Mr. James Cutler, purchased the farm S. of the Common, which Judge Sewell, in his penitence for sending witches to the gallows, gave H. for her first minister. This they divided into house lots, disposing of some and building upon others. And now II. had a centre ; soon a village, with room for every branch of business : so that young men who had sought it in vain at S. for shoe manufac- tories, found here a welcome and accommodations. One accession brought another,

and Esq. C. lived to see the village of which he was a father, attain the size of a borough. Yet he did not accomplish all. Others of equal capital and enterprise may have done more ;* still, but for his foresight, tact and enterprise, they had done the same somewhere else, and H. might have remained like her mother to this day, without a village or any centre of business. For 100 ys. after the incorporation of H. the township was of an ugly and inconvenient form, extending from Bellingham corner nearly to Framingham Depot, yet less than 1 m. wide in the centre, compar- able to a crooked-necked squash, growing to the N. bank of Charles R., or to a pair of saddle-bags hanging on the N. W. corner of Medway, with the N. E. bag stuffed and the S. W. empty. Every attempt to effect an exchange of territory with Med. had failed. But as soon as he was placed in the legislature his influenee vanquished op- position, the needed exchange was effected, my birth-place transferred to another town and Co., and all the inhabitants of H. relieved from living in deformity.


·


To him the parish of H., now the orthodox soc., are vastly indebted. 30 years ago, in the vacancy of the parish, two parties arose under the leadership of men known to me as of opposite religious feelings and views, under one of whom there was every prospect of the introduction of a preacher of the liberal school; and of the ultimate and permanent division of the Parish. Such a result Esquire C. could have hastened, and secured a minister with views more congenial with his own, and probably, a large majority of the parish. But this would have been inconsistent with his regard for the peace and prosperity of H. He stood aloof and watched ; and when the morning of the very first day for action dawned, he was in motion ; and before resting he got the leaders and chief members of both parties committed for the settlement of the best orthodox candidate in the field, concealing, as he went, from each the pledges obtained from the other. Notices were soon posted, and the parish assembled with all legal speed (for opposition of course), and the vote carly called ; when lo ! each party was surprised and diverted to learn that the other had blun- dered into a unanimous vote for Josephus Wheaton for minister. Hostilities now ceased for want of excuse for carrying on the war. This wise and magnanimous act, perfectly consistent with liberal professions, has, in my view, saved a generation from the curse of religious discord, and contributed to the perpetuity and extended enjoy- ment of privileges the most precious. Such were some of his services. Such and more was Elihu Cutler - a model citizen after whom may others pattern.
