Memorable Manitobans: Albert N. McCutcheon (1858-1934)
Businessman.
Born at Bradford, Ontario on 3 August 1858, his youth was spent at Kincardine, Ontario. He came to Manitoba in 1881 and started a brick factory at St. Boniface, operating it until 1910 when he sold the property to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway to make room for its right-of-way. He later operated brickyards at Morris and Whitemouth. He also did railway construction work and, in the late 1890s, he held a contract for construction in the Crow’s Nest Pass for the Canadian Pacific Railway. In the early 20th century, he had a lumber business at Minitonas and Swan River, and shipped railway ties for the CPR east to Fort William. He married Edith Ada Town (1868-1959) and they had two children: Eva Mae McCutcheon (1889-?, wife of Benjamin Billingsley Smith) and Allan Ellwood McCutcheon (1898-1962). He was a member of the Zion Methodist Church. He died at the Grace Hospital on 24 February 1934 and was buried in the Elmwood Cemetery.
