When twelve years of age her mother died, leaving her with two younger sisters, one a babe, the other only eight years old. Her father married again; her step-mother died when Elizabeth was fifteen, and so the management of the household devolved upon her. In two years she married Simeon Cutler. When he went to the war she was left with three small children, and in entire charge of his extensive business. Under these trying circumstances she showed great endurance and executive ability. By reason of the law that all inn-keepers must entertain soldiers and travellers connected with the army, and receive payment therefor in continental money, most of the inns in the vicinity were obhged to close. The Cutler Inn was able, however, through her exertions, to remain open till the end of the war.vHer husband died when she was forty-six years of age, and left her with two children, who had not reached their majority. She lived on the same place fifty years after this, making seventy-nine years of residence here. She retained to extreme old age her interest and skill in business matters, and managed her own affairs so successfully that she was not only able to provide a comfortable and independent support, but also to contribute to many benevolent objects. During her life she saw many and great changes. At her birth the Indian had scarcely left the neighborhood, yet she lived to see a railroad built through the town. In old age she became an authority on things which occurred during the Revolutionary period, and was a most interesting narrator of incidents which then took place. She lived to see around one table four, and even five generations of descendants. Her life was a series of useful and beneficent deeds — the "Florence Nightingale" of the village. She was always present to afford comfort and assistance wherever the sick or afflicted had need of her. She died in 1849, at the age of ninety-six. At her death she had seventy-four living descendants." - The History of the Holliston Cutlers (this book was published in the 19th Century and is in the public domain)
