100 YEAR OLD DIES AT SKYLINE

Cheney Marshall Cutting was born in Princeton, Mass. on August 20, 1857, to Joseph and Elizabeth Cutting, and passed away April 16th, 1958, at Skyline hospital, at the age of 100 years, 7 months, and 26 days.
Mr. and Mrs. Cutting lived in Lake Forest, Ill. between 1890 and 1900 at which time Mr. Cutting operated a Coal, Cement, and Tile business. He was quite active there in the Order of the Royal Arcanum; also the Lake Forest Council serving as chairman of the committee on roads and bridges for some time. One of his dearest possessions was a gold headed cane presented to him by the Lake Forest Council when he and his wife came west in 1901.
The Cuttings lived on a cattle ranch at Okanogan for about a year, then moved to Seattle where they operated a hotel for several years. About 1910 they purchased the property on which the Earl Conklins now live, and the place is still known as the Cutting Corner and farm. Their niece, Miss Ada Alford, lived with them in Trout Lake and is buried in the Trout Lake Cemetery. Mrs. Cutting passed away November 17th, 1931, and is also buried there.
Mr. Cutting was very fond of music, poetry, and literature of all kinds. He loved travel and new experiences and on his 100th birthday last summer had his wish of a lifetime fulfilled with an aeroplane ride. He has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. George Pearson since 1943 here in Trout Lake and was always a familiar figure up and down the road, being ill in the hospital just a few weeks before passing on.
Mr. Cutting had one brother who passed away many years ago. His only surviving relatives are a nephew, Onie Cutting of Snohomish, Wash., and a great nephew, Harold Cutting of Seattle, Wash., and a grand-niece, Mrs. Francis Brown of Seattle. He was a member of the White Salmon Masonic Lodge and a Honorary member of Trout Lake Grange No. 210.
