NUTTER, of the firm of Vice & Nutter, is a native of Tipton County and was born February 1, 1849, and is the only son born to John and Martha (Pritchard) Nutter. Our subject was reared on a farm, and received a common school education. Upon arriving at his majority, he worked on the farm for his father until he was twenty-six years of age, after which he conducted a farm for himself until February, 1879, when he exchanged his farm for a half interest in a business room and stock of goods, in company with D. B. Vice. They are conducting an extensive business, and are also dealing in all kinds of grain, and buying and shipping stock. Their business room and stock of goods were burned, causing a loss of $2,500, but they immediately erected a fine, large brick building, 21x80 feet, two stories, which is well filled with a general stock of goods. Mr. Nutter was married, August 19, 1875, to Miss Amanda E. Hardy, of Franklin County, Ky. She was born February 4, 1858, and is the daughter of Samuel Hardy. This union has been blessed with four children-Ora B., John S., James and Edward. Mr. Nutter has been a politician in the Democratic ranks, and his wife is a member of the Christian Church.
