"Sudden Bereavement.  W.H. Cutter, a Well-Known Resident of Adrian.  
Expires at Elyria, Ohio on Sunday.  General Sympathy for the 
Afflicted Family

A sudden and terrible bereavement has come to Mrs. W.H. CUTTER and 
family. Shortly after noon on Sunday, she received a telegram from 
Elyria, O., stating her husband was seriously ill, and to come at 
once.  While she was making hurried preparations for the journey, a 
second dispatch came, saying Mr. CUTTER was dead.

Mr. C. D. HARDY, a nephew of the deceased, left on the fast mail for 
Elyria, reaching there in the evening and returning this morning with 
the remains.

At an early hour Sunday morning, one of the guests in the Hotel 
Andwur at Elyria, was awakened by the groaning of a man in an 
adjoining room.  Thinking that something was wrong, he called a 
porter, and together they looked through the transom and discovered a 
man on the bed who was apparently in great pain.  Gaining an entrance 
to the room they found Mr. CUTTER in a dying condition.  Medical help 
was summoned, and physicians worked over him until nearly noon, when 
death ended his agony.  The coroner was called, but an inquest was 
deemed unnecessary.

Mr. HARDY is of the opinion that Mr. CUTTER suffered a stroke of 
apoplexy.  At his request, no post-mortem examination was held.

Mr. CUTTER left here in good health and spirits last Tuesday morning. 
 He traveled for the Reliance Corset company of Jackson, and was an 
excellent salesman.  He had been on the road for about thirty years, 
representing an umbrella house a great portion of this time.

Mr. CUTTER was 55 years of age.  He leaves a widow and four grown 
children: Louis, Will, Milton and Fanchon. 

The greatest sympathy is extended them in their irreparable loss.  Mr.
 CUTTER was a man who lived for his family, his daily life being full 
of little kindnesses to those for whom he had the most unselfish love.

This is my husband's great great grandfather.  His grandmother was 
Marguerite Elaine CUTTER Baker, daughter of Louis Nelson CUTTER from 
Adrian.  My husband is William Moore BAKER, Jr.
