It is hard to realize today
That one so dear could go away and leave within the hearts an ache
And a silence love itself cannot break;
Yet greater than your grief
Must be the thought and precious memory of one whose life was such a part of all that was dearest to your heart,
And may the days in passing by - bless your heart with peace.
And thoughtfulness for each glad year - the one you loved spent with you here.
They are not dead -- who live in lives they leave behind;
In those whom they have blest -- they live a life again.

OBITUARY:(as written for the funeral service)
Mr. John Ezra Cutter was born in DeKalb county, Missouri, June 11, 1882. In
1883, with his parents, he moved to Halstead, Kansas, where he lived until he
was 16. The family then moved to Oklahoma, locating near Douglas, where has
been his home since.

On Feb. 25, 1903, he was united in marriage to Miss Ethel Dubbs and to this
union was born six children, five daughters and one son.

In the spring of 1916, he was converted in the Diamond school house, later
placing his membership in the Christian Union Church of Douglas where it
remained the rest of his life.

Quite suddenly on Dec. 6, 1937, he departed this life, the last of six
brothers, at the age of 55 years, six months and 25 days. He is survived by his
wife and six children; Mrs. Florence Scott of Douglas; Mrs. Opal Weller of
Hutchinson, Kansas; Charley, Dora, Eula Fern, and Donna Marie, all of the home;
two sisters, Mrs. Ellen Irey of Enid and Mrs. Mollie Johnson of Denver, Colo.,
and give grandchildren and an unnumerable host of relatives and friends.

Although Mr. Cutter was a very quiet man, never saying very much in public, he
was always ready to do what he thought was his duty. He was a loving and
confiding husband, a tender and affectionate father, and a good neighbor in the
sense that Christ spoke of neighborliness, always ready to help a friend who
was in need of assistance. The many friends and the respect in which he was
held in the community, testify that a good man has gone.

John and Ethel had the following children:
