William Monroe Cutter died Wednesday morning, Jan 22, at his farm home near Coin, Iowa. Death came as the result of a heart ailment that had afflicted him for about a year.

Mr Cutter was the son of Charles D. and Amelia Cutter. His birth was Dec 19, 1873, at the Cutter homestead north of Coin. His boyhood days were spent there. Near his home was the Advance, or Cutter, school which he attended as a lad.

At Woodburn, Iowa, on Feb 24, 1897, he was united in marriage to Cordelia Ellen Carson. Following their marriage they settled on a farm near his boyhood home, where they have lived continuously. The family was in the midst of preparation for the observance of their 50th wedding anniversary when he was stricken.

He was self-taught in religion through a studious use of the Bible, and was well informed of its contents. By example and precept, he urged his children to become students of the Word of Life.

He united with the Presbyterian church at Kassuth, Iowa in the spring of 1865 and remained a member of that Protestant church until the time of his death. Coming to Atchison county, Mo., in 1870, where he has remained among you until the present time. He was a good neighbor and well respected by all who knew him and was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. The funeral services were held at the home of Mr McMillen and were well attended by a large number of friends and neighbors. Rev J.M. Johnson of the Reformed Presbyterian church of Blanchard, conducted the funeral services. The remains were interred in the Blanchard cemetery.
