GEORGE E. McCUTCHEN
GEORGE E. McCUTCHEN.—The successful municipal government for which Sacramento
has long been famous is undoubtedly due in part to the knowledge, experience
and wisdom of the local legal profession, ably represented by Attorney George
E. McCutchen. A native of the Old Dominion, he
was born at Lexington, Va.,
on January 19, 1895, the son of Ernest E. and Rosalie (McKay) McCutchen, of Scotch-Irish descent. Mr. McCutchen was a railroad engineer, a good provider, and like
his wife, something of an idealist; and they are now living, comfortably
situated in their advanced years, in Virginia.
George
McCutchen attended the public schools of Virginia
and California, and in 1917 he was graduated from the University
of California with the A. B.
Degree. The same year, having studied law at that university, he was
admitted to practice in the California
courts, but the World War led to his entering the U. S. Army in 1918. He
was in the I. C. O. T. S. at Camp Grant,
but owing to the armistice, he was honorably discharged on November 30,
1918. He belongs to the American Legion, and is a Republican. Active
in civic and social affairs, he is a member of the Del Paso Country Club and
the Sutter Club.
