William Kutt was born in Erbsville in 1872. Around 1885 Kutt moved to Waterloo where he worked as a carpenter. He later worked fourteen years as a foreman for the Canada Furniture Manufacturers Limited in Waterloo.
Kutt was involved in fraternal organizations and was a member of the local chapter of the Canadian Order of Foresters. He was an ardent supporter of the Waterloo Musical Society and a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church and the Germania Lodge (Independent Order of Odd Fellows).
From 1910-1917 Kutt served on town council becoming deputy reeve from 1914-1915 and reeve from 1916-1917. It was during his tenure in office as mayor, from 1918-1919, that the Finance Committee meetings were separated from the regular council meetings. Also under Kutt, the duties of the town clerk were expanded and made into a separate municipal department.
He died in a car accident in 1927.
