GENEALOGIES : JAMES CUTLER !.
CUTLER FAMILY.
James Cutler1, the emigrant ancestor, was born in England in 1606. It is supposed that he became connected with the troubles of the Puritans, and to escape them came to America. In 1634, he was in Watertown, Mass., which continued to be his home till his death. His son JJames? was born Nov. 6, 1635, and res. in Lexington, Mass. His son John8, Jr., was b. April 14, 1675, and he res. in Killingly, Ct. His son Timothy4 was born in Killingly about 1705, and res. there. His son Capt. Benoni5 was born Aug. 17, 1737, and resided at Killingly, where his son Charles6 was born, May 7, 1765. This latter m. Chloe Blake, who was born at Sturbridge, Mass., Dec. 20. 1767, and they were the parents of 1. Rev. Calvin Cutler7, of Windham, who was b. at Guildhall, Vt., Oct. 10, 1791, and d. Feb. 17, 1844.
The early years of Rev. Calvin Cutler were spent on the farm and in attending such schools as his native town afforded. He was six feet and four inches in height and proportionately strong, and became noted for physical exploits, both in labor and recrea- tion. After becoming of age, he began his preparation for the ministry. He fitted for college at the academy in Haverhill, N. HI .; entered Dartmouth in 1815, and was graduated in the class of 1819. Going thence to Andover, he spent three years at the theological seminary. Having offered himself to the American Board as a missionary, and been accepted, he went again to Dart- mouth, in the autumn of 1822, to attend a course of medical lectures, with reference to that service. But his health having become greatly impaired by over-exertion in study and labor for self-support, especially by teaching district schools and singing schools during the winters of his college course, and then by an accident during his last year at Andover, he was compelled to give up his plans of missionary life. Having preached for the Con- gregational church in Lebanon, he was invited to its pastorate, and accepting, was ordained and installed in November, 1823. Con- tinuing to labor there till May, 1827, he resigned the charge.
In October of that year he commeneed preaching at Windham, and was installed as pastor of the Presbyterian church, April 9, 1828. Here he remained till his death. During Mr. Cutler's first year in Windham, he lived in the house owned by Mr. Benj. Blanchard, where afterwards Dr. Ira Weston lived and died. Then for two years he occupied the cottage which is still standing on the old Cottle place, a few rods south of Pierce-S. Call's. In 1831 he moved into the old gambrel-roofed house near by, where in the preceding century Rev. Simon Williams had lived and taught his celebrated academy. With his wife's patri- mony, and what they were able to save, in 1836, he bought the farm upon which these two houses stood. In 1839, the old house was torn down, and a new one - now occupied by P .- S. Call - was erected in its place. Mr. Cutler's salary was but

four hundred and fifty a year. The farm, though not greatly productive, was helpful in various other ways in obtaining a living. He was skilful in managing it. In planting and haying, and drawing-wood time, he was accustomed to get men and teams, and then directing and helping, accomplished a great amount of work in a single day. When he built his house, his personal oversight and energy greatly expedited the work. His advice was often sought in business matters; but in his relations with men he never allowed the great work of his life to take a secondary place. Everything was made subservient to the spiritual good of his flock. As was the custom of the times, his house was a regular " minister's tavern,"- profitable in its sociality, - and to the children in the knowledge which came from the conversa- tion of the guests, but not otherwise. Once an agent for a re- ligious newspaper did an unusual thing. He had spent several nights at the house; on the last morning, as he was about to leave, he offered the boy who had fed and harnessed his horse a quarter of a dollar, but the lad declined it, with the remark, "We never take anything for keeping folks," and the quarter returned to the agent's pocket. When this was reported, the head of the family remarked : " You need not decline such an offer again ;" but the opportunity never returned.
Mr. Cutler was noted for promptness and efficiency in his work as a preacher and pastor. His preaching was strong, clear, and biblical. It is not known that any of his people ever complained that he failed to give them sound doctrine, or abundant food for mental and spiritual nurture. He preached several series of ex- pository discourses, sometimes in connection with the Sabbath- school lessons. Years afterwards, one who as a youth had listened to them remarked that he learned more of the Bible from these discourses than ever in any other way.
While keeping prominent the great truths of the Christian faith, he shunned not to declare the whole counsel of God in its appli- cation to private and public practice. His Fast and Thanksgiving discourses, usually on some topic of educational or reformatory interest, always drew a large congregation. One who was not a constant worshipper used to say, "You may always count on me for Fast and Thanksgiving." His views on the subject of free- thinking, temperance, and slavery were very clearly set forth in his published Thanksgiving sermon, preached Nov. 26, 1835, a copy of which, with the published town reports and other historical matters, is bound in book-form, and is in the Nesmith Library. (See No. 2315.)
Mr. Cutler was among the first to take an active interest in the antislavery movement. While agreeing with Rogers, Garrison, and others on the sin and curse of slavery, he firmly opposed their ultra measures.
The schools found in him an ardent friend. He was usually a member of the superintending committee, and was eminently
419
GENEALOGIES : REV. CALVIN CUTLER ?.
wise in averting or settling difficulties. On one occasion, when the teacher had been carried out of the school-house by one of the great boys, Mr. C. was immediately summoned, and gained the good-will of all concerned by his fair and prudent rulings and advice. Several terms of private school were secured by his energy and supervision, and several young persons were en- couraged by him to obtain a more extended education.
As a pastor, Mr. Cutler often visited from house to house; was acquainted with the religious condition of each of his flock ; often preached in the school-houses, and never failed to visit the sick as soon as he heard of their sickness. The church enjoyed several seasons of special religious interest during his ministry, especially in 1831 and 1837. Faithfulness and energy were perhaps his most prominent characteristics. Whatever he undertook was carried to a successful termination, and the good people sustained him.
In the summer of 1843, Mr. Cutler experienced a great affliction in the death of his oldest daughter, who died of quick consump- tion, at the early age of eighteen. It affected his health so that he was obliged to rest from preaching for several weeks. But rallying, he devoted himself to his work, with perhaps too great zeal, till he was suddenly prostrated by fever, and died after a sickness of ten days, Feb. 17, 1844. He married June 3, 1824, Rhoda, dau. of Benjamin and Rhoda (Bartlett) Little, b. Bosca- wen, N. H., April 4, 1801 ; d. Aug. 15, 1852.
Mrs. Cutler was a woman eminently fitted for a pastor's wife. In form and feature, she was pleasing and attractive ; expecting to go as a missionary, she enjoyed special opportunities for education ; of calm temper and great self-possession, of energy and devoted piety, she was a true helper. Her husband sought her counsel in every important matter, and never had occasion to regret follow- ing her advice. She was his critie, and was always ready to help him recall a passage of Scripture, or bit of poetry, or historical fact. She was not able to associate with the people as much as she could wish, for eight children and large claims of hospitality, with a financial support insufficient to secure much " help," ren- dered her home duties constantly ardnous. She wore out in the service, surviving her husband eight and a half years; the last two of these she was a confirmed invalid, and after great suffering died at the age of fifty-one. Her memory is blessed ; and yet a shade of sadness is associated with it that she should have been compelled to bear so heavy a load of labor and care,'and pass away in the meridian of life.

After acquiring a good academieal education, he taught school several years. He was the first to play a melodeon in the church in Windham, which was a small hand instrument, which he carried back and forth under his arm. He began playing in church when thirteen years of age. He had a strong love for music, and in 1852 went to New Haven and devoted his whole attention for two years to its study and practice. Then for ten years he taught music, - played the organ or led a choir in church. He finally relinquished the musical profession, and became the proprietor of a fine-art store in New Haven, which he still carries on. Res. New Haven.

GENEALOGIES : REV. CARROLL CUTLERS.
Continuing his theological studies at New Haven, New York, and Princeton, he was appointed professor of Mental Science. and Rhetoric, in the Western Reserve College at Hudson, Ohio, and entered upon this work in April, 1860, which office he has held to the present time.
In 1862 he served in the army four months as first lieut. of Co. B, 85th Ohio Vol. Inf., in charge of prisoners at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio., and went to Vicksburg, Miss., in charge of a large convoy of prisoners to exchange. While passing down the Mississippi, their flag of truce was fired upon by the rebels, which was returned. He afterwards served as captain and colonel in a well-organized and well-drilled regiment of Ohio militia. In 1871 he was appointed president of the college, which office he still holds. By virtue of this office he has been pastor of the College church since 1873, when he was ordained by the Cleveland Presbytery. The honorary title of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on him by the college at Marietta in 1872. In 1877 he took a vacation of six months in Europe, travelling ex- tensively in Ireland, England, Scotland, Holland, France, Swit- zerland, Italy, Austria, and Germany, visiting many of the uni- versities, and becoming personally acquainted with their distin- guished professors.
The college with which he is connected as president, has been removed from Hudson to Cleveland, and has become a part of what will hereafter be known as the Western Reserve Univer- sity. This change of location was stimulated by the offer of half a million of dollars to its funds, by Mr. Amasa Stone, of Cleveland.
Dr. Cutler is known as a ripe scholar and successful instructor and presiding officer. His life has been full of struggles and tri- umphs, and is another illustration of the success which. usually attends persistent and well-directed efforts. Res. Cleveland, O. He m.
