Cutler The beautiful home of Fred Cutler, Jr., Lafayette street, was converted into a floral palace early in the week after the announcement of the death of Mrs. Cutler Monday morning. More flowers were added Wednesday for the funeral services, conducted there in the afternoon by Rev. R.E. Karban, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. The sympathy that these beautiful floral offerings conveyed was added to by messages of fraternal love for Mrs. Cutler through the many emblems of the several orders with which she had worked. The arrangement of the flowers was in charge of Miss Millie Kress, Mrs. Clare Fuller, and Mrs. C.J. VanReenen. Since her marriage in 1887, Mrs. Cutler had resided in Ionia.
