Elmer Cutting and Mae Weston White were married April 08, 1917.

The article to the top left left appeared in the Plymouth Record on May 15, 1917 and the one below that appeared December 6, 1924, p2.

Cutting Hughes built the Hughes Cabins near the bridge on Little Squam Lake in Ashland. There were about eight cabins and he and Aunt Mae owned them for over twenty-five years. I'm not sure when he built the first one but there were several by the time I started swimming over there in the mid 40's. I remember he built at least two in this time period. >B.L.H.

Many fishermen from Ashland and vicinity tried their luck Saturday at both Squam and Winnipesaukee lakes, but the wind was so strong that it was almost impossible for them to do much fishing. There were many funny experiences. One man dropped his hat, his partner tried to step on it, lost his glove and both went sailing down the lake, never to be recovered. Eddie Nedeau, when trying to put a canvas around his fish house, came near taking a free ride over the ice. The wind caught the canvas, Eddie held on as long as possible but was obliged to let go and watch the canvas go for miles over the smooth surface of the ice. Omer Jacques with a party caught a good string of cusk, trout and perch. Cutting Hughes built a fish house and had it ready for business Sunday. Arthur Harriman, with the party was also among the fishermen. >The Plymouth Record, February 6, 1932, p3.
