Additional Details:
[Caroline H.] Wife of Calvin Cutter, M.D., murdered by the Baptist Ministry and Baptist Church as follows-- Sept. 28,1838, aged 33. She was accused of lying in Church Meeting by the Rev. D.D. Pratt and Dea. Albert Adams; was condemned by the Church unheard. She was reduced to poverty by Dea. Wm. Wallace. When a ex-parte council was asked of the Milford Baptist Church by the advice of their committee, Geo Raymond, Calvin Averill and Andrew Hutchinson, they voted not to receive any communication on the subject. The Rev. Mark Carpenter said--he thought as the good old Dea. Pearson said--"We have got Cutter down and it is best to keep him down." The intentional and malicious destruction of her character and happiness destroyed her life. Her last words on the subject were: "Tell the truth and the iniquity will come out."
