[Bayard Cutting ]was an attorney, financier, real estate developer, sugar beet refiner and philanthropist. Cutting and his brother Fulton started the sugar beet industry in the United States in 1888. He was a builder of railroads, operated the ferries of New York City, and developed part of the south Brooklyn waterfront, Red Hook.

Mr. and Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting had a camp on Deer Island in 1905, when the New York Times reported that Count Erwin Wurmbrand of Newport and W. Bayard Cutting, Jr. (who was a private patient of Dr. E. L. Trudeau), were also in camp. R. Fulton Cutting-- a brother of Bayard Cutting, Sr.--was one of the original incorporators of Trudeau's Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium. See 'A Rare Romance in Medicine for a full account of the "Cutting incident."
