Cuthbert, Section 23, Barron Township, is said to have one of the best equipped farms in Barron County. It consists of 80 acres of well tilled land, on which he has erected a fine set of buildings, the house being modern in every particular, with electric lights, running hot and cold water and other conveniences, while the barn has electric lights, and James and Drew equipment. His fine herd of registered and high grade Holsteins is headed with blooded sires, and his Poland-China swine are of registered breed. He is a stockholder in the Barron Co-operative Creamery and is interested in other public ventures. He has done good work as a member of the schoolboard and also did capable service in filling out an unexpired term as town supervisor. Mr. Cuthbert was born in La Crosse County, this state, son of William and Isabelle (Hemstock) Cuthbert. He received his education in his native county and came to Barron County with his parents in 1897. In 1901 he rented the home farm and in 1903 bought it, and the next year rented it out, returning to it in 1905. He cleared 25 acres of the place and made various improvements. In 1908 he sold out and purchased his present place. Mr. Cuthbert was married Nov. 28, 1901 to Millie Gilbertson, who died Nov. 13, 1904, leaving a daughter, Lillian I., born Jan. 21, 1903, who now lives with the grandmother in Colorado.
