VIRGINIA FRY HUTCHISON

Virginia Fry, fourth child of George and Bell Fry, was born on the home farm north of Earlham, Iowa, on July 5, 1894, and slept peacefully away into Eternity in the early morning of May 28, 1952.

She was a healthy, active child, but was stricken with infantile paralysis at the age of two years. The prolonged illness left her crippled,-a handicap she was to carry the rest of her life.

Vergie attended country school and later Earlham Academy, from which she graduated in 1913. The next two years she taught in North Dakota schools, and it was there she met and married Charles Hutchison in April 1915. Their home was established near Minot, North Dakota. Later the family lived four years in Big Woods Lodge, Wisconsin, moving in 1931 to a farm near Earlham.

In 1933 Vergie was faced with the task of rearing her family alone, and to this task she gave herself untiringly and devotedly. Her reward has come in the form of loving care and loyal devotion shown by all her children, especially through her last illness.

The family moved into Earlham in 1937 and here Vergie has spent her remaining years, making many friends as she carried on her work in town and community. She gave unselfishly to the care of two aunts, Alice and Margaret Fry, in their final illnesses, and helped many others in need. In spite of her handicap, her life has been full, busy and rich in service to her family and friends.

She was a member of the local Friends church and enjoyed the fellowship of the Queen Esther class and the Sunshine Circle. She was preceded in death by her parents, one sister and an infant daughter, Ruth. She leaves her five children, Charles of Earlham; Alice Stocking of Norwalk, California; Earl of Casa Blanca, French Morocco; John of Des Moines; and Kay Trimble of Earlham; five grandchildren, two sisters, Vivian Zeliadt of Des Moines; and Breta Fry of Kansas City; and two brothers, Bert of Adel; and Fred of Earlham; besides nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

Note: Burial in Earlham Cemetery
