HENRY ORCUTT, farmer, P. O. London, son of B. and Mary A. (Miller) Orcutt, who came to Ohio in 1820, was born in Greene County, Ohio, February 9, 1821. He was reared on the farm, and in 1852 came to this county, where he engaged with his brothers in operating a saw mill; he was married, in 1848, to Maria F. Little, a native of Virginia, of German descent, and a daughter of John Little, of Greene County. They have had three children -- Rufinia Almira, Victoria P., wife of William Evans, and Mary Elizabeth, wife of James W. B. Evans; Mrs. Orcutt died March 21, 1882. Mr. Orcutt has retired from active life and only works when he thinks it would be beneficial to his health. He started in life as a poor man, but now has a comfortable home and a nice farm; he is a moral, conscientious man, who carries his principles into politics, voting for the man and not for the party.
