Mr. McCutcheon was born at Winona, Fayette County, West Virginia, on the 27th of January, 1896, and is a son of John Floyd McCutcheon and Mary L. (Hagerman) McCutcheon, both of whom were born in Pulaski County, Virginia. Perry McCutcheon, paternal grandfather of the subject of this sketch, likewise was a native of the Old Dominion commonwealth, the family lineage tracing back to stanch Scotch origin and the original American progenitors having settled in Virginia in the Colonial period of our national history. John Hagerman, the maternal grandfather of him whose name introduces this review, was one of five brothers who emigrated from their native Germany to the United States, four of the brothers settling in Western Maryland and establishing the settlement that eventually was developed into the present City of Hagerman, which perpetuates the family name. John, the youngest of the five brothers, settled in Virginia, and there he married Sarah Watkins Weigal. John Floyd McCutcheon was born in 1862, and his death occurred in 1898. He was actively engaged in mercantile business in West Virginia until within a few years of his death. His widow is now a resident of Morgantown and Clarence W., of this sketch is their only child. Clarence W. McCutcheon was about two years of age at the time of his father's death, and was about five years old when he accompanied his widowed mother on her removal from his native City of Winona to Richwood, Nicholas County, where he was afforded the advantages of the public schools, the discipline of which he later extended by about one year of study at Morris-Harvey College near Huntington, this state. He then entered Marshall College at Huntington, where he continued a student about one year, principally in high-school work, which likewise he had pursued in Morris-Harvey College. In 1911 he was graduated from the high school at Richwood, and thereafter he was for one year a student in the Concord Normal School of West Virginia. In 1914 he matriculated in the University of West Virginia at Morgantown, in which he was graduated December 18, 1917, he having been, however a member of the class of 1918 and having thus returned to the university to receive in that year his degree of Bachelor of Science and Civil Engineer. On New Year's Day of 1919 Mr. McCutcheon began practical service as a civil engineer at Kanawha Falls, and in June of that year he returned to the university for the reception of his degrees, with other members oh his class. He then entered the employ of the Monongahela Valley Engineering Company at Morgantown, and in the same year was assigned to the limited - service class in connection with the nation's entrance into the World War. In September 1918 he became an instructor in the College of Engineering of the University of West Virginia, as a representative of war - preparation work, and there he continued in constructive field instruction service until after the signing of the historic armistice that brought the war to a close. After leaving the nation's service Mr. McCutcheon entered the employ of the Bertha Coal Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with headquarters in Morgantown, West Virginia, and he continued his professional and executive service with this company until September 1920, when he organized the McCutcheon Engineering Company, of which he is the executive head and which is developing a substantial and representative general engineering business in connection with industrial enterprise and public improvements in this section of the state. Mr. McCutcheon is affiliated with Morgantown Union Lodge No. 4, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, and while in the university he was active in the affairs of "The Mountain" fraternity of that institution.
