Cornelia Delany Nobles, the oldest daughter, came with her parents (Jeremiah (b. 1828) and Sarah Hulett Nobles) and other relatives to Minnesota territory in 1856 when she was three years old. Coming overland and by boat they landed at Carver, came on to Glencoe and settled nine miles west of Glencoe in Sumter township. A log cabin was their first home. At the time of the Indian uprising, the family with other settlers, went to Carver, but after a few days returned to Glencoe where the women and children lived until all danger was past. The men were able to check on their livestock and buildings from time to time. Jeremiah Nobles was considered a progressive farmer and helped establish the first cheese factory in Sumter. He served as Postmaster for many years. In 1864 John Jones Cutlar (b. August 15, 1847) traveled overland with his famiy from New York to Plainview, Minnesota and in 1870 he took a homestead in Sumter Township of 120 acres, also 40 acres in Glencoe Township. On December 10, 1872 he married Cornelia Delany Nobles. Their seven children were Frank E., Merritt, Sarah E., C. Delaney, J. Maynard, Lester B. and N. Irwin. John Cutlar died on March 15, 1924 and Cornelia died on August 6, 1929. Their farm was later occupied by grandson Earlin Cutlar, wife Shirley, and famiy. |
