“Leslie Grant Cutler was born in Midway, Norfolk county, January 5, 1848. In 1864 he came to this county and the same year enlisted in Company H 33rd Ind. Vol. Inf. serving to the close of the war; he is supposed to have been the youngest soldier enlisting from Lake county; at the close of the war he served three years in the regular army, a part of which time he spent carrying the U.S. mail through the deserts of Arizona Territory; at the end of his term of enlistment he entered into the mercantile shipping service between San Francisco and Yokohoma Japan; he was then employed in the coasting trade between California and Washington Territory and in the great lumber regions of Puget Sound. In 1872 he returned to his home near Creston and the following year married Miss Flora V. Edgerton, a bright, lovely young lady of Creston. To this union five sons and one daughter were born, all of which are living, and like their father full of bright hope and high ambition. Mr. Cutler united with the M.E. Church at Creston in 1881 of which he remained a faithful and energetic member; being class leader for several years unitl the beginning of his illness three months ago; he died at his home September 6, '95; the funeral services were held Sunday September 8 conducted by Rev. E.P. Bennett of Lowell, the remains were laid to rest in the Creston cemetery there to await the ressurection morn.
