George Cutler, at Hunnewell: Was this Dr. George A. Cutler??? Believe it was...

Arkansas City Traveler, January 11, 1882.

Ex-Governor S. J. Crawford writes from Washington to George Cutler, at Hunnewell, that the grazing lands in the Territory, known as the Cherokee Strip, is not the property of the Cherokees; that it was merely set apart by the Government for their use as an outlet, and that the Cherokees have no right to collect a tax for grazing cattle on it. Gov. Sam. is undoubtedly mistaken in this. The strip is part of the Cherokee domain, has been so regarded by the General Government, and was conditionally purchased from the Cherokees. When the Government pays for it, the Cherokees will have no right to collect taxes for its use. Until that time, they have full control over it, and authority to make every man pay who occupies it as a grazing ground. Caldwell Commercial.

Arkansas City Traveler, July 26, 1882.

A new post office has been established at the Springs, with Dr. George A. Cutler as postmaster.

Arkansas City Traveler, July 26, 1882.

John Whistler, a wealthy merchant at the Sac & Fox Agency, has bought the Geuda House and is moving it to the next lot. He will build a large hotel on the three lots adjoining Dr. Cutler’s drug store, making a front of seventy-five feet. Press.

Caldwell Commercial, Thursday, December 14, 1882.

The Geuda Springs Herald finds fault with Dr. Geo. Cutler, postmaster at the Springs, for the manner in which he conducts the business of the office. How Cutler ever came to be appointed postmaster, is a mystery. He may be a tip-top man, but as an official, he is about as poor a stick as one could find in a six weeks’ journey.
