His preparatory education was acquired in the schools of his native place, he graduating from the Natick High School in 1886, president and valedictorian of his class. He then entered Harvard University, took second-year honors in physics in 1887, and was graduated in 1890 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, magna cum laude, both for general rank and for honors in physics. During his course in school and college, Mr. Nutt did newspaper work for the Natick "Bulletin," Natick "Citizen" and Boston "Evening Record," this experience laying the foundation for his after career in journalism, he having been one of the best known men in that line throughout his section of the State of Massachusetts. In 1890, the year of his graduation from Harvard, he accepted a position as reporter on the staff of the Worcester "Daily Spy," for many years the leading paper in that thriving city, and in the following, year, having gained additional experience, he founded "The Paragraph," in New Rochelle, New York, and later became the owner of newspaper and printing plants at New Rochelle and Mamaroneck, New York. On October 1, 1899, he purchased the Worcester "Daily Spy" and conducted it until June 1, 1904, a period of five years, when it passed out of his hands and was suspended. The plant was destroyed by fire. May 21, 1902, and the loss was disastrous to the business. He disposed of the New Rochelle "Paragrapli," November 1, 1900, and the Mamaroneck "Paragraph" to Charles F. Rice. With thorough training, true journalistic instinct, broad knowledge of affairs, he reflected honor upon his profession, and in his conduct of the various papers with which he was identified he made them the exponent of the highest interests of the community, of the State and of the Nation. In addition to his journalistic work, Mr. Nutt devoted considerable time to genealogical research, in which he was an expert, and from 1904 until his death was associated with the Lewis Publishing Company, of New York, 'and at the time of his death was watching through the press the later pages of a monumental work which he had already completed—"A History of Worcester," which will be read with great interest by his many friends and acquaintances in Worcester, his adopted city. He completed a history of the First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, which was begun by the late Hon. Alfred S. Roe; wrote a history of the Crompton & Knowles Loom Works, one of the largest enterprises in Worcester, and was the author of several other books which received favorable comment from the press and from the reading public. Although so much of his time and thought were given to the duties above mentioned, Mr. Nutt was also an active participant in political affairs, in which he took a keen interest, and was chosen by his fellow-citizens to serve as delegate to various Republican conventions, including the State Convention when the late Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for Governor of New York. He was the candidate of the Republican party lor the office of supervisor; during the presidential campaign of 1904 was in charge of the Speakers' Bureau of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee; was chairman of the Fourth Ward Republican Committee of New Rochelle, New York, and treasurer of the New Rochelle Republican Club. Mr. Nutt held membership in the Massachusetts Sons of the American Revolution; the New England Historic-Genealogical Society; the Worcester Society of Antiquity; Huguenot Council, Royal Arcanum; and Huguenot Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, both of New Rochelle; and during his collegiate course was a member of the Pierian Sodality, in which he played the double bass, and he was also a member of various other clubs.
