Marshall Thompson Cutrer was born on February 29th, 1892 (later changed to February 19th, due to his enlistment in WWI,) to Mary Marshall (Thompson) Cutrer and Isaac Milton Cutrer.
Before being drafted to fight in WWI (Battery "A" 141st Field Artillery,) he married his first wife, Tempie (Pickett) Cutrer, and had one son, T. W. Cutrer, who died eleven months later of yellow fever. While he (Marshall) was at war, his wife, Tempie, contracted yellow fever, soon succumbing to the illness, bringing their second unborn child, a little girl, to the grave with her.
Upon coming back home from the war, now widowed, he met his second wife who would be his lifelong wife, Ruth Pearl (McGregor) Cutrer at a Cafe in Kentwood, Louisiana, where she was working. There, he would approach her by bringing her a bouquet of flowers, and soon they would get married and have seven children.
He was a dairyman early in life who would pick cotton with his family, and later, after the war, owned a mechanic shop where he would work on automobiles in his hometown.
He was known to be a very nice and religious man, however there's plenty mysterious things about Marshall that's unknown entirely, and will apparently never be learned of.
It's also notable that the sausage recipe at Cutrer's Slaughter House is his recipe, as he was a talented cook.
Once he retired from work, he lived in a small home with his wife, Ruth, and maintained a garden, but in 1972, Marshall had a massive heart attack, where his only granddaughter would find him on the couch of his home. He passed away peacefully in his sleep.
