Lacking Locks for Love

 

 It once again is breast cancer awareness month. Which tends to remind me of a trip I took with my daughter and her friend to our local Fantastic Sams  so that we could donate our hair to Locks of Love.  These young women went far beyond what I did (call me chicken) I did donate a considerable amount of hair, which was waist long, shortened to my shoulders. I just couldn’t bring myself to do the extra 10 inches or so.

There is a subject that  I would like to clarify. I have heard many people say that they no longer give to Locks of Love, because they charge the children for the hair pieces. That in part is true, but the original hair piece can run from $3,000 to $5,000 dollars depending on the need.  Locks of Love give according to need.

Locks of Love Mission Statement

Our mission is to return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children. The children receive hair prostheses free of charge or on a sliding scale, based on financial need.

If you have the hair to donate and then I urge you to do so. I would suggest you look into Locks of Love or other ways of donating your hair.  There are a few others that I found with a quick search of the web:

Wigs for Kids
Angel Hair for Kids-Canadian based

Julie’s Place

 

Julie’s Place…

Is not of this world
Its above the clouds
In the realm of Angels
In a Mansion of my own.

 

Julie’s Place…
Is anchored on the firm foundation
Is resting in the Great I AM
Is a Child of the King
Daughter of the Alpha and Omega.

 

Julies’ Place…
Is to be a fisher of men
A singer of praises
A teacher to the young
A light in the darkness.

But above all Julie’s Place
is to believe on the only begotten
Son of God!
And to walk in his will
and to rest in his peace.

**********

Harry M. Cutter was born in the midst of the civil war in the year of 1863 in Wayne Co., Ohio. He was born to Samuel J. and Christina Stucker Cutter, Samuel lived on the land that his father settled in 1821. There is where Harry could have been born.

Harry took to wife Sarah Jane Starrett daughter of Charles B. and Sarah Sterling Cutter on the 25 of October 1883. Sarah went by her middle name Jane. I find her in the 1900 and 1910 census with Harry listed as Jennie.

Harry  and Jennie had three children they are as follows:

John B. S. Cutter,came along in May of 1885 Wayne, Co., Ohio. John married Edith B., surname not known at this time.

Next  to enter the family fold is a little girl named Christina S. and she was born in Homesville, Holmes Co., Ohio on 3rd of Oct in 1889. Christina would become my great-grandmother when she married Arthur C. McCartney of Holmes Co. Ohio on 4 Jul 1908 in Prairie Township, Summit County, Ohio.

The baby of the family is Lois H. who came calling about 1898. Lois married  John Pitz about 1914. It is with Lois and John that we find Harry living with in 1930.

The Cutter name traces back to New England in the 1600’s and Starrett is either Irish or Scottish.

I found this obituary at Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center, there are many obituaries contained in this repository and they are adding more. Drop in and see what you can find! The actual copy came from the Wayne County Public Library Genealogy and Local History Department.
