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

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.

er\ day in the year for that purpose,
which practice she continued until a
few months ago. Mrs. Culler was in

wild flowers from little children, and
at her funeral and grave she was not
