William Bayard Cutting, one of New Yorks most prominent lawyers, and for years one of the city's largest contributors to charity, died last Friday night on board a special train bound for New York from Tucumcari, New Mexico, where Mr Cutting had been spending several months in hope of regaining his health. Death occurred near Rock Island, Ill and following an attack of acute indigestion.
Mr Cutting had been ill about a week and his wife and their daughter, Miss Olivia Cutting, were summoned to New Mexico. It was immediately decided to bring him to New York, and a special train was chartered for that purpose. Snow storms in the South West, however, delayed the train for several hours, so that it was impossible, as had been planned, to reach Chicago in time to transfer to a New York flyer.
Mr Cutting was a prominent member of the New York bar. He was graduated from Columbia Law School in 1871. HE was born in New York City 72 years ago, a son of Fulton Cutting and Justine Bayard. In 1877 he was married in New York to Miss Olivia Murray.
He was director in many large corporations, and in 1878 was president of the St Louis Alton and Terre Haute Railroad. He was director of the American Exchange National Bank, the ity and Suburban Homes Company, the Commercial Union Assurance Company, the Commercial Union Fire Insurance Company, the Norfolk and Southern Railway Company, the Tropical Land Company and the United States Trust Company of New York.
In addition to these activities Mr Cutting was a director of the Metropolitan Opera and a trustee of Columbia University. He was also a director of the New York Botanical Gardens, the American Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Mr Cutting owned one of the most magnificent estates on Long Island located in Oakdale, which comprises 3200 acres. His name has for many years been identified with the foremost charitable organizations of the country and he was a director of a number of charitable institutions. Much of his time has been devoted to philanthropy and civil reform movements.
The funeral took place at Grace Church, New York City at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning.
The Rev. Dr. George Alexander Strong. Rector of Christ Church, conducted the services, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Charles L. Slattery, rector of Grace Church and the Rev. W.N. Webbe of Garden City, L.I., the Right Rev. David H. Greer, bishop of New York, pronounced the benediction. At the conclusion of the services his body was taken to the family vault in Greenwood Cemetery, where it will remain until arrival of the body of his son, W. B. Cutting, Jr., from Egypt, and the double interment of father and son will take place the latter part of the month. Men prominent in business, financial and social life in New York, most of whom were close personnal friends of Mr Cutting, crowded the church, together with the many poor persons, who had reasons to love Mr Cutting for his kindness to them.
