Letter from Julia P. Cutler to Elizabeth A. Cutler Corn
To Mrs. E. A. Corn
Constitution, Washington County, Ohio
Thursday, May 5th, 1870
My Dear Cousin
An apology is due to you for allowing your very acceptable letter of Dec 3rd to remain so long unanswered. It was on its reception placed in my hands by brother William with the request that I should immediately reply to it, a few days afterward my wrist was severely injured by a fall and was so painful that for several weeks I could not use a pen. In the meantime your letter was mislaid and has only recently been found.
You have our sincere sympathy in the loss of your eldest son. But you have the truest and best consolation in the fact that he was one of Christ's chosen ones "for whom to live is Christ and to die is gain." for they go to be with Him, where He is. We are pleased to hear that your remaining son is receiving a liberal education, and thus preparing for a useful and honorable life, and may he be a credit and comfort to his parents: And may your daughters be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace. When you write again I should like to hear more about your husband and children. I do not know their names but should be happy to become acquainted. Of our kindred in your vicinity I have only had the pleasure of meeting Miss Emeline S. Waterman, now Mrs. Dickey, and David Waterman. It would give me pleasure to hear from either of them. Be so good as to present my kind regards to them.
I will now endeavor to give you some information respecting our own family. You are probably aware that both my parents are dead. My mother died in 1846 and father in 1853 at the advanced age of 86, both in the enjoyment of the Christian's hope.
Bro. Charles died in 1849 his widow still survives. He left four daughters, three of them married physicians and the fourth a respectable farmer. His son George E is out West.
Sister Nanny Carter is a widow. She and her youngest daughter Martha are in independent circumstances and make their home with the eldest daughter Mary who married Mr. John Armistead. He owns a valuable farm with a good new brick house about nine miles from Columbus, Ohio.
Bro David lives in the state of Kansas where he owns a good property. He has but one child, a son named Charles now over 30 years old, unmarried.
Sister Polly Dean and her husband still live on their farm of Federal Creek. They celebrated their Golden wedding two years ago. They have had but two children, daughters. The eldest, Mary, married Rev. Levi Munsell of the M. E. Church. Mrs. Munsell has four young daughters and an only living son Levi, a young man of great promise, now obtaining a collegiate education at the Ohio University. Mrs. Dean's youngest daughter Annie married a few years since, less happily to Mr. Eli Brown.
My sister Sarah C. Dawes, now a widow, has recently been very sick, and is still an invalid. She has had six children, all of them have received excellent educations. Her eldest d. Kate married Rev. S. A. McLean, Presby. Minister. She died in 1868(6?) leaving one little daughter Kitty. Mr. McLean has since died and Mrs. Dawes is bringing up this little orphan grandchild. Mrs. Dawes eldest son Henry was a very talented young lawyer. He died in 1860. Her two other sons are well married and prosperous businessmen. Rufus lives in Marietta, part owner of "M. Iron Works," doing a profitable business. Ephraim lives in Cincinnati. Mrs. Dawes has two daughters living, Jane married the Rev. J. H. Shedd and went with him to Persia, engaged in missionary work among the Nestorians. We hope to welcome them home this summer on their first visit since they sailed for Asia in 1859. Lucy Dawes is still at home and is indispensable to the comfort of her mother.
Bro Wm. has but two children living, a son named Wm. Means about three years old, and a d. named Sarah Julia, now 14 years old. She is at Glendale Female College near Cincinnati. Wm. and his family still occupy the stone house on the old homestead farm. He has been a prosperous man and seeks to honor God with his substance as well as by an upright and godly life. After serving one term in Congress he abandoned politics and has been engaged lately in railroad enterprise. He is at this time largely interested in a R. R. which extends from Shawneetown on the Ohio River through Springfield, capital of Ill. to Beardstown on the Illinois River, a distance of more than two hundred miles. His business takes him away from home much of the time. He is now absent at the West.
I make my home in Bro. Wm. family and have just returned from a short visit to my sister Clarissa Walton, who lives near Pana, Ill. Mr. Walton, her husband, is a Presby. minister but on account of feeble health and difficulty in hearing is unable to preach. They have a beautiful prairie farm. They have only two children living. The eldest, James P. was educated at Marietta College. He is a Civil Engineer. The youngest, Wm. C. is away at school preparing for college.
Your brother, Dr. George A. Cutler, visited us last winter. He is a pleasant and intelligent gentleman. He has I understand a handsome residence near Kansas City, Mo and a wife and two children.
He told me but four of your brother Waldo's children were living, two daughters, Mary and Phila both well married and living in Iowa, and two sons also married. Jonathan is settled in California and is doing well. Edward occupies the homestead near Iowa City and his mother lives with him. Your step-mother now over eighty yrs old was still in good health and living with daughter Mrs. Mary Chandler Knight in Evansville, Ind. He said he was anxious to hear from his relatives in Virginia & Tennessee. I regret that at the time he was here your letter was mislaid and I could not give him your address.
Although nearly half a century has passed since we parted on the banks of the Ohio, I have a vivid recollection of my fair little sunny haired cousin, who for a season was the pleasant sharer of my childish pastimes, and I should be most happy now in mature life to renew our intercourse. Now that railroads make traveling comparatively easy, I hope we may have a visit from you. Mrs. Waterman once made the journey in her own carriage, but she is now gone on that longer journey from which no traveler returns. I trust a better country, even a heavenly. The Rev. Chas. Putman, a particular friend of Mrs. Waterman in early life, died a few weeks ago.
My sister, Mrs. Dawes, sends her kind regards to you and our other relatives in your vicinity. Our cousin Temple Cutler who received his literary education at Marietta College is now settled as pastor of a Cong. Church at Athol, Mass. He is a popular minister and what is still better, a good man.
Hoping soon to receive a long full letter from you and with much love to yourself and family and all my relatives in your region, I remain very truly and affectionately
Your cousin,
Julia P. Cutler.
