                AMMI CUTTER (deceased) was born at Westbrook, Maine, May
                23, 1819. At the age of twenty he went to Lovell, Maine,
                where he became sheriff of the county and also a member of
                the governor’s council. In September 1857, he came to
                Anoka, where he engaged in dry goods, grocery and lumber
                business, afterward adding the manufacture of flour and
                pork barrels and pails and tubs. In 1862 he enlisted in the
                Seventh Minnesota Regiment, and was afterward captain and
                assistant quartermaster in the United States Volunteers.
                After the war he went through a series of disasters. His
                sawmill, sash and door and tub and pail factories, upon
                which there was no insurance, were burned, and his
                gristmill was swept away by a flood. He continued in the
                grocery business and later in the dry goods business, for
                some years. In 1879 he purchased the Sun and Republican,
                and changed the name to Herald, which he sold after a few
                years to Alvah Eastman. Later he developed great talent as
                a magnetic physician, and opened an office in St. Paul
                where he was very successful until his death, July 2, 1896.
                At the age of twenty one he was married to Olive C.
                Eastman, who died in 1902. Children: Jennie R. (Mrs. A.
                Ross, Glen Ellen, Cal.), Henry H. (Palocedro, Cal) Mary S.
                (Mrs. O.L. Cutter) and Charles H. (Oakland, Cal)
                
                (Transcriber's Note: His tombstone, in Forest Hill
                 Cemetery, Anoka, Minn., shows his birth date as
                 May 20, 1819)
