Biographical Note

Milo O. Cutter was born July 3, 1858, to Samuel and Sarah Cutter, in Roanoke, Indiana. He married Mary Adeline, who was also born in 1858. The 1910 and 1920 census records list Mary M. Gray living with Milo and his wife, so she might have been Mary Cutter's mother. They lived in Ward 9, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Milo got some of the signatures in his autograph book from people at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, a health resort in Battle Creek, Michigan. Milo died on March 18, 1941 in Fort Wayne.
