At the age of seventeen years, there devolved on her the entire management of house- keeping and household affairs. She settled but half a mile from the place of her birth, where her home was unchanged for seventy^ine years ^ although a new house was built in the place of her first residence. After her decease, it passed into the possession of her descendants ; and it remained so for a time, but is now owned and occupied by " outsiders. " Relative to it, every thing is changed, though the majes...tic elms stand yet as pensive mourners — their shadows typical of the ever-changing scenes which have transpired within their precincts. Mrs. Cutler was invariably an early riser, thus imi- tating the good habit of her early ancestry. She pos- sessed a remarkably active and ardent temperament, and although it is always impossible to be in more than one place at a time, yet she would often more 64 than half see/n to be. She always had at hand a supply of general knowledge, and was apt to communi- cate — so much so, that, towards the close of life, her loquacity was oftentimes wearisome.
