"Mr. Chute was a pious industrious farmer. In doing hard work, as in rolling a log, he was wont to say "canto", and from that he was called "Canto Jim," to distinguish him from others of the name. He was chaplain in the Patrons of Husbandry in 1875; and his wife was Ceres. He was recording steward in the M. E. church in 1879; died June 12, 1884, a prominent Mason and Odd Fellow."

"Is buried in the Chute Cemetery on Rte 35 in Naples. J. Chute II is shown on the 1847 and 1871 map as living on the Bridgton Road, near the Casco/Naples line."
