"FREDERICK A CUTTER M. D. of SUTTON
One of the best known men in the county of Brome is Frederick Augustus Cutter a medical practitioner here for fifty years. He dates his birth at New Ipswich Hillsboro county NH being a son of Moody and Henrietta (Fisher) Cutter, both of New England origin. His father was a lawyer, and when the son was five years old the family removed to Stoddard, Chesshire county, in the same state where Moody Cutter practiced his profession until his death at forty-five years of age.
Dr Cutter was educated in district schools, and in the medical department of Dartmouth college Hanover NH, receiving his diploma in 1829 and settling in Sutton in December of that year making a little more than half a century since he opened an office here. In the earlier years of his practice, his rides extended over a considerable portion of what is now the county of Brome and into two townships in the county of Missisquoi. Up to a few years ago his practice was large and remunerative; latterly he has aimed to curtail it, and now he rarely goes into the country, unless sent for with a carriage. Considering his age and the hardships he has endured, he is a well preserved man, with a perfectly erect form, and considerable endurance. Probably no man in the neighborhood is more highly respected.
Dr. Cutter has been a commissioner of the Commissioners' Court for thirty five years, a justice of the peace perhaps half as long; was at one period a town councilor; was for seven years secretary of the school corporation of the township of Sutton, and was appointed a coroner, and to take depositions in the Superior Court, but never qualified for the former office and has done no business in the latter.
Dr Cutter is a member of the Evangelical Advent Church at Sutton and served for years as its clerk. His moral character stands far above reproach.
He has been married twice the first time in 1830 to Miss HP Butterfield of Stoddard NH who died in 1840 after having given birth to four children. Only one of them Reuben M Cutter who is employed in the Sutton Railway office is now living. His second marriage was in 1842, to Miss Mary A Jackman of Sutton, who has been the mother of four sons and four daughters, three of each still living. Frederic Augustus Cutter, Jr. is a physician and surgeon a graduate of McGill College, Montrea,l and of the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, N.Y., and a leading man in his profession at Sutton. Their son, Henry is in California and George is at home. The three daughters have all been married, and one of them, Eveline, is the widow of Whiting R. Ball and living at Boulton, P.Q. The other two, Mrs. William O. Regan and Mrs. George Wood, reside in Sutton.
When Dr. Cutter settled in his present home, there were not more than three or four miles of made road in the township, and no bridge across the river in the village of Sutton, except in sleighing time. He rode on horse-back until about twenty years ago, and in fording streams and finding his way through the woods, often had not only hard but perilous rides. He cannot "shoulder his crutch and tell how fields were won," but he can explain how swollen streams were crossed fifty years ago.
