    Elder George B. Utter, in 1844, joined with others in establishing a religious newspaper called the 'Sabbath Record', which soon became the leading recognized organ of the Seventh-Day Baptist denomination. For more than twenty-five years he edited and published that paper, and had the oversight of the monthly and quarterly periodicals and books and reports of various kinds published by the denomination. In 1859 he became interested in the 'Narragansett Weekly', a paper published in Westerly, and removed with his family, in January, 1862, to Westerly. He and his brother John Herbert Utter joined in the publication of that paper. On the death of J. Herbert Utter, in 1886, Mr. George B. Utter assumed the whole responsibility of that paper.

He had prepared for the ministry and was ordained, but important duties with which he was connected prevented his becoming pastor of a church.
