EDWIN G. CUTLER, proprietor of Cutler House, Crossingville, was born June 3, 1833, near Rutland, Vt.

Brandt, of Montgomery City, Mo.; Mrs. Lucy J. Tabor; Carrie E., deceased. Mr. Cutler started with his family in 1837, intending to go to Michigan. Leaving his family at Girard, Penn., he went to Michigan, purchased 280 acres, eighty acres of which is the present site of Jackson. He finally gave up his possessions there and remained in Girard, where he kept a hotel for several years, spending an interval of a few years of that time on a farm near that place. In 1845 he moved to Crossingville, where he purchased the hotel and a farm adjoining. Here he lived until his death, January 14, 1871. His widow followed him October 3, 1876. Our subject remained with his parents, not forming any matrimonial alliance. He now owns the hotel property known as the Cutler House, besides a farm of 100 acres adjoining the village, and one of fifty acres in Erie County. Mr. Cutler is a member of the Western Crawford Lodge, F. & A.M., of Conneautville; in politics he is a Republican.
