Cutter, Isaac J., was born in Pennsylvania, November 2, 1829. His parents
were both natives of Pennsylvania. Mr. Cutter is a butcher by trade. He
moved to Glasgow township in July, 1856, and settled where he now lives.
He has a farm of two hundred acres, well improved. A fine wind-engine
furnishes him power enough to pump all water for his stock, besides
running a small feedmill. Mr. Cutter also has a steam thresher. He was
married, in 1853, to Mary Stowman. Mrs. Cutter has quite an extensive
creamery. She sells about three hundred and fifty dollars' worth of butter
per annum, besides what they use on the table. Mr. Cutter enlisted in the
2d Minn. Sharpshooters, and was mustered in at St. Paul, in February,
1862. From St. Paul he went first to Washington City, and then down the
Potomac river. He was in the battles of Williamsburg, second Bull Run and
Antietam; was in the battles in front of Richmond, and was in the seven
days' retreat. In the battle of second Bull Run a ball passed through the
sleeve of his blouse, and in the battle of Antietam his gun was struck by
a ball and broken in two, but he never received a scratch. He was
discharged March 5, 1865, at Petersburgh, Virginia. He belongs to the
Wapahasa Lodge, No. 14, A.F.A.M., of Wabasha City, of which lodge he has
been a member for twelve years. Mr. Cutter has been county commissioner
three years.
