Lewis H. Cutler was born on December 14, 1851, in La Porte, Indiana. He married Carrie H. Weir in 1877 in La Porte. He died on March 1, 1938, in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
We could not determine the exact location of his farm, and additional research is required.

Here is additional information about him from The History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa (1907).

Though the gentleman whose name introduces this sketch has been a citizen of Council Bluffs but six years he is already well and favorably known as a very efficient funeral director of this city. His birth occurred in La Porte county, Indiana, on his father’s farm, in 1852. It was in that rich farming district that he spent his boyhood and that he received his early education in the county schools. The county has always been of unusual interest to Mr. Cutler because of its history, its growth and its fertility. When the early settlers came to that section they found a natural opening in the forest and named the town and county by the French name, La Porte, meaning “the door.” With its rich fields and its surrounding forests, which are always in sight no matter where you may drive, the county so appealed to Mr. Cutler that he made it his home until the year 1901. His mother spent her last years in the city of La Porte in a large and beautiful home, where she passed away in the winter of 1906-7.

The elder Mr. Cutler was so successful a farmer that his son followed in his footsteps and had one of the best equipped farms in the county. His adoption of the progressive methods and implements and his practical straight-forwardness made him one of the representative agriculturists of the county. He entered into the furniture business in La Porte at one time and conducted it successfully for three years but was eager to return to his farm. This is not surprising, for his was a beautiful home which lay some four miles from La Porte on the old government road which led from Detroit to Chicago and over which the mail was carried in the days of the stage coach. Mr. Cutler’s brother, as well as his father-in-law, were successful funeral directors in La Porte and through them he became interested in that business. He was indirectly connected with it in his native city and in January, 1901, removed to Council Bluffs, where he opened a business of his own and where he has met with a marked degree of success.

In 1877, Mr. Cutler was married, in La Porte, to Carrie Weir, a daughter of Henry B. Weir. Their union has been blessed with four splendid sons, all of whom are now living. Mr. Cutler is a member of the Elks lodge, the Tribe of Ben Hur, the Maccabees and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He and his family have always been active members of the Baptist church, of which he is a deacon and to which they have always given a hearty support. In his political relations he is a stanch republican and though he has never sought its offices or honors he has given his active assistance to those who have. In his private life and among his friends and family he is a most genial, agreeable and companionable gentleman, kind, tolerant and loving, and it has always seemed that he could not do too much to promote the welfare or enhance the happiness of his family. His sons have received unusual educational opportunities and have made the most of them. Mr. Cutler is a gentleman in the true sense of that word, always sympathetic and displaying a helpful spirit, which has made him a great success in the business in which he is now engaged. – The History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa (1907).
