Mr. Austin Cutler was a member of the LaPorte First Baptist Church for 81 years. On May 27, 1864, Austin enlisted in the Union Army and became a private in Co. B of the 138th Indiana Infantry. He served until the closing of the Civil War. On returning from the war he began his business career. First, he operated a grocery, but in 1896, he entered the undertaking business. Austin operated the funeral home alone until his brother, George Cutler, became a partner in 1918. When George passed in 1928, Austin continued the business with his nephew Ferris. Austin died on January 28, 1942.

Mr. George Cutler began his business career in agricultural pursuits until his family moved to Hillsdale, Michigan, in 1905. In Hillsdale, he and his son, Ferris, established an undertaking business. After two years there, George and Ferris opened a furniture and undertaking establishment in New Carlisle where they remained for about six years. On July 1, 1918, Mr. Cutler and son joined with Austin Cutler and began the undertaking establishment of Cutler Brothers. George died on January 5, 1928.

Mr. Arthur Ferris Cutler began his career with his father in 1905 when they established an undertaking business in Hillsdale, Michigan. Two years later, they bought a funeral home in New Carlisle, which Ferris and his father maintained until 1920. In 1918, they became associated with Austin Cutler and began the Cutler Brothers Funeral Home tradition.
