DR.. H. c. CUTLER DEAD.
And He VIII be Missed in Southwestern
Wisconsin More Than any Other Man.

DR.. Cutler is dead! Is it possi-
BILE? Yes; and the fact carries sad
ness into nearly every household in
Iowa county, aud many outside her
borders. lie died Monday evening,
Feb. S, 1892, at his home in this
city, at about O'Clock, after
brief illness from pneumonia, which
he no doubt contracted through his
eagerness to do justice to his
patients.
DR.. Cutler was wonderful
man in numerous ways. He was
exceptionally skillful in the
practice of medicines aud surgery.
lie never tired in his profession, be-
cause he loved it, Since 1856,
when he came from his Vermont
home and located at West Blue
Mounds, he has been a faithful, I'M
tiriug, successful doctor. Night
and day during all these long years
he has been at his post, ever as
ready to respond to the call Of
those who would never be able to
pay him as any one else, aud many
are the families in southwestern
Wisconsin he has aided financially
as well as professionally. His gerer-
osity was unbounded, and in keeping
with all his other grand qualities.
But for his iron constitution and
great will power it would have
been impossible for man to endure
what he has. Dr. Cutler will uu-
doubtedly be missed by more home
circles in Iowa county than any
other person could be, as there are
few hut what be has entered aud
encouraged and built up in many
ways aside from professional SER
vices rendered,
The doctor did not hold Blue
Mounds long as headquarters, but
moved to Dodgeville where he re-
mained about thirty years, and dur
ing that time was married to Miss
Mary NJ. Prideaux, daughter of
Capt. Henry Prideaux. In 1889 he
moved to Eau Claire to free him
self if possible from the long hard
drives which were telling on him;
but his love for and attachments to
old associates drew him hither
again, and last spring he came to
Mineral Point and formed part
nership with Dr. VIM. Eastman.
Columns could be written of the
energy, noble-heartedness and sue
cess of this man. His life proved a
blessing and comfort to thousands.
His practice was sufficient to make
him wealthy, but the fact that he
was not is proof of his grandeur.
In early life he united with the
Masonic aud Odd Fellow orders,
but his large practice prevented
him from being an active member
of either.
He was a man who loved his
home, and to leave his beloved wife
was what troubled him most as
death made It's approach. For her
sympathy abounds everywhere.
The doctor also left three sisters,
Mrs. Marvin, of Connecticut, a.
Mrs. Rublee, of Vermont, and Mrs.
q. A. Marshall, of Darlington. He
was 81 years Of age.
The body was conveyed from
this city to Dodgeville for inter
ment on Thursday, and to say that
it was largely attended seems all
most useless. Ont Of pure love aud
respect for the departed all busi
ness houses in Dodgeyille were
closed as the funeral procession
passed through there and during
services at the cemetery.
Hon. J. w. REwEY, chairman
of the county board, was in the
city on Tuesday in attendance at a
meeting of the committee Of the
county board selected to superin-
tend the buil' of the new ad
dition to the court house to be used

Offices for the county Judge. The
