Joseph M. Cutsforth was born in Indiana in the year of 1853, the oldest of a family of nine children, seven of whom are living. When he was nine years of age, his parents removed to Michigan and later to Poynette, Wisconsin where he grew to manhood and in 1870 was married to Elizabeth MacDonald, who survives him.
Five children were bom to them of whom four are living: Mrs. Maud Dyer of Hermiston, Oregon, Mrs. Bessie Ashwell, Portland., Oregon; Sydney M. and Donald H. both of Soda Springs.
In 1890 the family left Wisconsin and went to Montana, removing shortly to Gervais, Oregon, where they resided for many years, and at last settled near Soda Springs, Idaho.
Up to within a week of his death, Mr. Cutsforth appeared in excellent health but when he began to fail, the end approached rapidly and he passed on Saturday morning, April 18th.
The remains were taken to Gervais, Oregon, where five of his brothers reside, to be laid to rest in the Masonic Cemetery where his father and mother and one daughter are sleeping.
Mr. Cutsforth was a kind and loving husband and father, a good neighbor, and his religion was Masonry. (The Soda Springs Chieftan, Soda Springs, Idaho, April 23, 1931, Page 5, Column 4)
