William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas was  published in
  1883
  by A. T. Andreas, Chicago, IL. Copyright has expired and the document is
  now in the public domain. I happened to run across this gentleman from
  Whiteside County and thought I would pass him along since Whiteside used
  to be part of
  Henry County....<grin>
