nation shining; brightly at all times.
Mrs. < utler w as a member of a Baptist
church, and was a consistent Christian,
-he was a woman of tine intelicct and
culture, and fond of her family, home,
and friends, but when told by physi
cians that her illness was fatal, she
bravely faced it and was resigned to
tlie w ill of her Father, w hom she had
1 >ved and obeyed from Iter youth, and
calmlv and wisely she "set tier house
in order" and waited, and w hen tile
summons came 'he w as ready and anx
iously waiting, and to a neighbor and
friend who was tieside her only a few
days before her death, she said,' "It is
well w ith my soul." >he leaves a hus
band, two sons, one daughter, and a
sister, to all of whom she had been a
loving and devoted wife and mother.
Mis. Cutler was the daughter of Hr.
Bennett, formerly of Boston, who died
last year. Her mother was for ten
years associated with Mrs. Mary A
Livermore in the tern iterance work, al
so in forming societies in the W. ( T.
1 \\ hen thirteen years of age she lie
cam* deeply interested in foreign mis
sions, and began to save one penny ev *
er\ day in the year for that purpose,
which practice she continued until a
few months ago. Mrs. Culler was in
her With y ear.
Itev.c I. Ramsey of ttie Central
Baptist church of Thompson attended
the funeral Her sons, nephew , and
l brother-in law, Fiias Justin, were l»ear

i was never without beautiful flowers,
: from the choice ones from coii-ervalo
J ritsol iriends to (tie tiny bo<pie> of
wild flowers from little children, and
at her funeral and grave she was not
forgotten. Her body revises in the
Cutler family lot at Hast Thompson.
"Creen be the turf alnne thee,
Friend of my lielter days.

If you use a substantial and sty
