Obituary of Mrs. Clara Aetna Hutson
On a summer morning lacking just one day of being the great American birthday on July 3, 1868, Clara Aetna Hand was born. Her home has always been in Jasper county and for the past twenty years she has lived here in Newton. After months of suffering she slipped away to her eternal home on Friday, March 13, 1925. This gives her but 56 summers to have spent here in God’s world.
February 13, 1889, she and John Wesley Hutson were married. Into this home came Maude, who afterwards became the wife of Louie Krause of Newton and Jesse Hutson, who now lives at Dublin, Mich. There are three grandchildren, Miriam L. Krause and Dorothy and Laverne Hutson. Mrs. Hutson has four sisters and one brother who survive her: Mrs. Eliza J. Winslow of Colfax, Mrs. Mary E. Cordray, Colfax, Mrs. Minerva Bradshaw of Redfield, Mrs. Christina Kester of Stuartville, Minn., and Mr Edward B. Hand of Mingo.
She has been an active Christian practically all her life and has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for years. She has been a devoted mother, never tiring of any service that she might be able to render for her children and loved ones.
Dr. Stuart conducted the funeral from the First Methodist Episcopal church. She was buried in Sam’s cemetery out by Mingo.
