J.H. Cutter
Death of Col. Cutter. We regret to learn that Col. J. H. Cutter died at his residence in Hollis, N. H., on Sunday last. Col. Cutter was widely known throughout the country as the manufacturer of Bourbon Whiskey, in which business after nearly thirty years of incessant labor he had amassed a large fortune. He was a man of large business capacities, a genial companion, and a generous, true, and warm-hearted friend. His death will cause deep sadness among his numerous friends, and the deepest among those who knew and appreciated best his many noble qualities. He has been a sufferer for several years, but within the last twelve months disease seized upon him with unrelenting grasp, and he gradually wasted away. The funeral is to be on Wednesday at his late residence in Hollis. [Campaign Atlas and Bee, Boston, Sat. July 14, 1860 - submitted by: Candi H.]

Scripture - The wife of Samuel Scripture of Milford, New Hampshire, drowned herself a short time ago in the river at that place. Her husband had been detected early in the day in the act of robbing the ticket master's drawer at the railroad depot, and on learning the fact, together with the confession from him that he had been stealing in this way for a year or more, she committed the fatal act. Her body was recovered. During the excitement Scripture made off, but officers are on his track and he will doubtless be found. [Illinois State Democrat, 9/19/1860 - submitted by Candi H.]
