Edward F. Cuthrell is a successful farmer of Tebo township, who owns 590 acres 
of well improved land. This farm of generous proportions had its nucleus in 240 
acres purchased in 1902 and Mr. Cuthrell has added to it until he has 590 acres of 
good farm land. Mr. Edward F. Cuthrell was born in Davie County, North Carolina, 
December 17, 1875, the son of James F. and Nettie (McBride) Cuthrell. James 
Cuthrell was a native of North Carolina and served in the Confederate Army for a 
short while, but was discharged because of disability. He was a tiller of the soil 
and lived to an advanced age, passing away in 1911. His wife, also a native of 
North Carolina, survived him until June, 1917, when she was laid away. Edward F. 
Cuthrell remained in his native State until he was seventeen years of age, when 
he came to Clinton, Missouri, in 1892 and received employment as a farm hand. 
After five years of work as a farm hand Mr. Cuthrell in 1897 rented land for 
himself, until by dint of hard labor and economy, he was able to purchase the 240 
acres, the nucleus of the present farm, in 1902. He made needed improvements, 
building a large barn 64x100 feet in extent and various other outbuildings. 
February 3, 1894, Edward Cuthrell and Emma Gilkerson were united in marriage, 
and are the parents of the following children: Hattie, wife of E. Wilson, farmer of 
Tebo township; Taylor, a soldier in the United States Army; Rolla, in the United 
States Navy; Elmer, in Iowa; Alpha, Edward, Effie and Pauline at home with their 
father. The mother of this family, Mrs. Emma (Gilkerson) Cuthrell, was born in 
1878 in Fields Creek township, Henry County, the daughter of Charles and Mollie 
(Page) Gilkerson, the former a native of Henry County and the latter of Lafayette 
County, Missouri. They live in California. In June, 1910, Mrs. Cuthrell passed away 
and her younger daughters are shouldering the responsibility of the home making 
since her demise. Mr. Cuthrell has been an extensive breeder of jacks, road 
horses, Percheron and Belgian horses for twenty years. He has been a member of 
the Methodist Church since childhood.
