YALE COLLEGE, CLASS OF 1816
GEORGE YOUNGLOVE CUTLER, the youngest child of Younglove and Dothee (Stone) Cutler, of Watertown, Connecticut, was born on April 6, 1797. A sister married Holbrook Curtis (Yale 1807), and a half-brother was graduated here in 1829.
He studied law, and entered on practice in his native place.
He married, on May 29, 1821, Mary Ann Pomeroy, only daughter of Dr. Æneas Monson (Yale 1780), of New Haven, and subsequently removed hither.
Later he was induced to engage in the book business in New York City, with disastrous results; so that, about 1829, he went West, and settled in Western Illinois, on the Mississippi River, at the point later named Nauvoo. Here he established a land-agency, and was meeting with deserved success, when he died of bilious fever, on September 3, 1834, in his 38th year.
Besides two children who died in infancy, one daughter survived him.
His widow married, on August 15, 1838, Daniel Green Whitney, of Quincy, Illinois, where she died on July 7, 1844, in her 42d year.

George Y. Culter—Was one of the three to whom Judge [Richard M] Young addressed his order [to organize Hancock County, Illinois, in summer 1829], and was consequently one of the judges of the first election. He was a popular man, as he received fifty votes of less than sixty cast for [County] Commissioners, with six candidates running. Concerning Mr. C., we can obtain but little information. He resided at the head of the rapids, where he sold goods; was a whole-souled, genial man—a native of one of the New England States. He died about 1834, and his estate stands sixth of entry in the Probate records, under date of Sept. 1, 1834. How long he had been in the country is not ascertained. "Cutler's Grave," surrounded by a wall of stone is still an object of note, near the bank of the Mississippi at Nauvoo. —History of Hancock County, Illinois: Together with an Outline History of the State, pp. 216–217 (contributed by Aileen McLean #49296674).
