He arrived in this valley the latter part of September and has since resided the most (sic) of the time in West Jordan Ward where he acted for some time as President of the High Priests Quorum of that Branch of the Church.
Br. Cutler died in the 70th year of his age. He lived universally beloved and respected by his brethren; was true and faithful to the interests of his holy religion and to his brethren in all conditions of life. He died as he had lived, a faithful and true Latter Day Saint.

Above are two views of Harmon Cutler's burial site, "Cutler Hill" Pioneer Cemetery in Midvale, Utah. There are no grave markers at the site.
Above are two views of Agnes McGregor's headstone in Sandy City Cemetery. The double headstone is shared with her son, James. What can be read of the headstone says: "In Memory of Agnes McGregor Cutler. Born in Bonhill, Scot. Aug 13, 1843. Died Mar. 9, 1904." There is what appears to be an epitaph below, but it is too badly worn to read.

Cool! Thanks, Justin!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog. I am a descendent of Harmon through the youngest son of his first wife (Orson Parley Pratt Cutler). I am currently writing a biography of Harmon Cutler -- I am about 300 pages into it, but it moves slowly. I have quite a bit of information about the Cutler clan and related families. Let me know if you need anything or want to trade info.

Chris, I am also a descendent of Orson Parley Pratt Cutler through his daughter, Clarinda Cutler Bowler, my Great Grandmother. It sounds like you have collected quite a bit of information on Harmon. Do you plan to publish it, or just make it available for some of your family? I would be interested in purchasing it if it becomes available to others. kdmott@msn.com
ReplyDeleteI have one maybe two family members buried in that cemetery. I find it upsetting that it has become neglected. There is not even a public entrance into it. My family and I are worried that it will be pushed over and forgotten about. We are trying to preserve this land, and make it a memorial for those still buried there. If anyone has any information on this or could be any help please email me at b_turn@hotmail.com. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI"m a descendant of Harmon, through his son Royal James. Royal James is Harmon's oldest son with his first wife Susanna Barton. My dad, Frank Henry Cutler III, lives in Salt Lake and for a while now has been fighting Midvale to save this cemetery! Midvale is planning on selling the land. My dad had pursued different angles trying to save the cemetery, but has come up empty handed so far. He is planning on sending a letter to the gov of Utah pleading for help. My dad's email is nycniagara@hotmail.com and my email is anniebanannie16@gmail.com if you would like to help!
