Death of Orlando Cutter.-A Brief History of his Life-One of Cleveland's Oldest Residents-His Integrity and other Sterling Qualities.

At a short time before eleven o'clock Sunday morning, ORLANDO CUTTER, one of the oldest inhabitants of Cleveland, and a highly esteemed citizen, died at his residence, No.

380 Prospect Street, of a stroke of paralysis. Mr. Cutter had been suffering from illness for several months, but the disease that caused his death did not develop itself until last Tuesday, when his left side was paralyzed. The best medical aid was obtained, but it was beyond human skili to save his life, and he breathed his last in the midst of loving relatives. Mr. Cutter was born in Jaffrey, N. H., on the 5th of June, 1797. After the usual experience of the boys of those days out doors and at school, young Cutter obtained a situation in a store at Royalton, Vermont, at a salary of four dollars per month and board. On reaching his seventeenth year, having been in the store twelve months, he had saved one dollar and a half. His wages were increased to double the sum mentioned during the second year, and in September, 1815, having proved himself active, capable and honest, he was transferred to a large jobbing house in Boston. Here he worked till he became twentyone, when the firm offered him credit for dry goods to the amount of ten thousand dollars, with which to go West to seek his fortune. Before accepting their offer he concluded to make a trip to select a suitable place for trade, and borrowed four hundred dollars for the expenses of the journey. He started with a pair of well-filled saddlebags as an outfit, and in due time arrived at Cleveland. He reached this city by water on the 30th of June, 1818, having spent nine dismal days on the schooner Ben. Franklin, en route from Black Rock. He was landed by means of a yawl at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River, near a bluff that stood where the buildings of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern R. R. have since been erected. At that time the river entrance was of a very unreliable character, being sometimes entirely blockaded with sand, so that people were enabled to walk across upon the bar. Cleveland then contained but two hundred inhabitants and four stores. Water Street was the only thoroughfare to the lake that was cleared sufficiently for travel. There was but one house on the west side, at the top of what is now Detroit-Street hill, employed as a trading post. Twenty or thirty teams driven by Germans from Pennsylvania, and Stark, Wayne and other counties in this State, were encamped in Superior Street on the night of Mr. Cutter's arrival, and they gave the town such a business appearance, that he became quite enchanted with it.

He did not remain here long at this time, however, soon setting sail in the schooner Wasp for Sandusky, and thence in the Fire-Fly for Detroit. But his thoughts reverted to Cleveland, and, forming a partnership with Messrs. Mack & Conant, of Detroit, the firm purchased twenty thousand dollars worth of dry goods for an extensive establishment in this place. His competitors in business at that time were Nathan Perry, J. R. & I. Kelly, S. S. Dudley and Dr. David Long. It was only a year after he opened in Cleveland, when Mack & Conant failed, throwing the purchase entirely on Mr. Cutter's shoulders. After ten years of severe labor, he paid the entire indebtedness of the company, amounting to thirty thousand dollars. He then, however, had but five hundred dollars in old goods. Ohio currency was not exactly money in those days. It was at a discount of twenty-five to thirty per cent. for Eastern funds. There was, moreover, little of it, and there were stay laws and the appraisal of personal as well as real estate, under execution, rendering collection almost impossible. To illustrate: A man in Middleburg owed Mr. Cutter seventy-five dollars. He went to attend the constable's sale, and found among the effects a dog appraised at ten dollars, rails ten cents each, and a watch worth five dollars valued at twenty dollars, so he left the place in disgust and hurried home through the woods in no placid frame of mind. Of four new shoes that had been put on his horse that morning, three had been torn off by the mud, roots and corduroy between Cleveland and Middleburg. Mr. Cutter aided largely in removing the stumps from Bank Street at that time.

After closing his old business, paying off all the indebtedness, the subject of our article engaged in whatever employment presented itself, inactivity and despondency forming no part of his character. In 1827 a temporary business connection was formed between himself and Thomas M. Kelly, after which he again started in trade alone, adding the auction and commission business to that of dry goods and groceries. In the fall of 1821, Mr. Cutter went East on the Steamer Walk-in-the-Water, accompanied by a large number of other citizens. A furious gale arose when the vessel was off Buffalo. Her anchor parted and she went ashore during the night on an easy beach and without loss of life. About seven years since, Mr. Cutter retired from his active business life, although he has by no means remained idle since that period.

In February, 1820, Mr. Cutter married Miss Phelps, of Painesville, Lake county. Three children were born by this marriage, two of whom are now living, Orlando and Edwin. His first wife died in 1829, and in November, 1832, Mr. Cutter was wedded to Miss Hilliard, sister to the late Richard Hilliard. There are seven children by this marriage livingRichard H., William L., John F., Helen P., Horace L., Norman W. and Sarah C. All reside in Cleveland, with the exception of Horace, who is secretary of a Savings Association at San José, California. William is cashier of the Merchants National Bank of this city, and Richard is engaged in business on Bank Street and Euclid Avenue.

Mr. Cutter was, previous to his decease, the oldest living member of the First Presbyterian Church, and there are now but three persons alive who came to Cleveland about the

time he did, viz.: Philo Scovill, Judge T. M. Kelly and Moses White. The deceased was noted among his fellow men for his strict integrity of character and his unselfishness. He thoroughly despised a mean action, and was always ready to help the needy and alleviate suffering to the extent of his ability. In business he was energetic and active, and was enabled to accumulate a competence, although meeting with reverses of so serious a nature at the commencement of his career. As we have before stated, he was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, and took part in its management for a long period. He was a consistent Christian, and his death will be mourned by many.

Among the advertisers in the first number of the Cleveland Herald was Mr. Orlando Cutter, whose death has just taken place.

Action of the Board of Trade.-Although Mr. Orlando Cutter was not, at the time of his death, a member of the Board of Trade, he had been in earlier days, but in consideration of the fact that he was one of the few of our oldest citizens, and had contributed in various ways to the growth and prosperity of the city, the Board of Trade unanimously adopted the following preamble and resolutions:

Whereas, An Infinite Father, for some wise and good purpose, has taken from this life Orlando Cutter; and

Whereas, It is deemed pertinent that action should be taken by the Board of Trade, in view of this demise of one of our very oldest and most appreciated citizens, therefore Resolved, That while this death reminds us of the great uncertainty of life, we cannot but mourn, in common with all, the loss to the whole community of one who for so many years was active and prominent in every matter that pertained to the greatest good and welfare of the city, for in our departed friend were combined those qualities of heart and charity that so eminently fitted him to be, as he was, the kind husband and father, the consistent Christian and common friend of all.

Resolved, That we tender to the afflicted relatives our deepest sympathy in this their irreparable loss.

Resolved, That these minutes be recorded in the Books of the Board, and that the Secretary be requested to transmit a copy of these proceedings to the family of the deceased.

Death of Mrs. Cutter.-The death of Mr. Orlando Cutter, one of our early pioneers, a few weeks since, is now followed by that of his wife, which occurred on Saturday.

Mrs. Adeline W. Cutter, wife of Stephen Cutter, who died in Winchester on the 13th ult., was a native of the town, and resided there during the greater part of her life. Her religious experience dates back to the year 1827, when she consecrated herself to the Saviour, and was received into the Congregational church, Sept. 30, 1827, then under the pastoral care of the Rev. Joseph Bennett. Throughout her whole life, in all its vicissitudes of sunshine and shadow, she continued an earnest and consistent follower of her Lord and Master, exemplifying in her words and works the precepts and doctrines of the Bible, and spending her best energies for the benefit of kindred and friends, in imitation of Him who went about doing good.

Naturally of a retiring disposition and quiet habits, she was unostentatious in her benevolence, avoiding notoriety, but always manifested a deep interest in the prosperity of the church, and in the welfare of all with whom she came in contact, ever ready to extend aid and sympathy to those in need. The Bible was her constant companion, and became, especially in the latter part of her life, the chief object of contemplation, and the principal source of comfort. She loved to meditate on its sacred truths, and many of its sweet promises were treasured up in her heart, and became an unfailing fountain of peace and joy. She took great delight in reading and repeating devotional hymns, and had memorized over one hundred and seventy. Her favorite one was that commencing "I would not live alway, I ask not to stay," etc.

After a life of mingled joys and sorrows, but one growing more bright and tranquil till its close, she peacefully passed away, leaving a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss, but to rejoice in her gain.-Congregationalist, Jan. 7, 1875.
