Celeste Eugenia Chandler Nutting was the first wife of Rev. J. K. Nutting. She was born at Chandlersville, Ohio, Jan. 28th, 1839, and died of pneumonia, Oct. 28th, 1893.
Her ancestors were all from New England, where her great grandfather was a captain of the "Green Mountain Boys" at Bennington, and her maternal grandfather was a noted Revolutionary scout from Connecticut. Both families settled on a large tract which was given by the government in lieu of arrearages of pay. Her father, Stephen Chandler, inherited the original homestead, where Celeste was born and lived until her marriage, in her 19th year. She had received a good high school education, and was a general favorite among her mates, on account of her great vivacity and intelligence.
She was married March 3rd, 1857, and with her husband immediately began home missionary work in the new state of Iowa. Unavoidable exposure and privation broke her health, such that since the first two years of her married life she may be said never to have seen a well day, yet those who knew her will bear witness to her buoyant good spirits, and her patient endurance. Two infant children and one adult daughter preceded her and a daughter and a son survived her.
