F. M. Cutler, for forty years a resident of Wolbach and vicinity passed away at his home east of Wolbach last Friday morning at about 9:30, following several weeks of serious illness. Being an old soldier, the funeral was very properly held on Armistice Day, Sunday, November 11. A large number of the local Legion boys were out and took a prominent part in the ceremonies. They accompanied the body to the Lutheran Church, six of their number were the pall bearers and a firing squad fired a salute over the grave later at the cemetery. One more of those who offered their lives in the service of their country had been laid to rest.
Francis Marvel Cutler was born in Rock Creek, Ohio May 17, 1844. He died at his home one half mile east of Wolbach, Nebraska, November 9, 1928, aged 84 years, 5 months and 22 days.
He lived in his native state until 16 years of age, when he enlisted in Private Co. K. 196th Ohio Infantry and served in the Civil War, being the youngest in his regiment. After four years of service, he was honorably discharged.
He moved to this community about 1880, being among the first to engage in business having the first general merchandise store in Wolbach. When the post office was established in Wolbach in 1887, Mr. Cutler was the postmaster. The post office was located on the lot just east of the present T.L. Hyde grocery store. He was very much interested in getting the railroad through this part of the country. He lived to see this part of the state grow from its natural primitive condition to what it is now.
In 1900 he was united in marriage to Emma Hart. He was the father of 11 children, and grandfather of the same number. Four of his children preceded him in death. The surviving relatives being well known have the sympathy of the community.
