Barton Clark Hutchins
April 26, 1845 - April 24, 1921

OLD SOLDIER PASSED AWAY

B. C. Hutchins Came to Iowa in Early Day and Saw Much Service During Civil War

Barton C. Hutchins was born in St. Lawrence county, N.Y. April 26, 1845. He came with his parents to Linn county, Iowa, in the year 1853. They removed to Mitchell county in 1855, and this has been his home ever since. He enlisted in the 27th Iowa Inf. and with them for three years of hard service in the Civil war.

He was married to Miss Martha Logan Dec. 31, 1878. As they were blessed with no children of their own they adopted a son, William, who with Mrs. Hutchins, survives his death. It was given to Mr. Hutchins to be both a pioneer and a soldier. His family was one of the earliest settlers of Mitchell county and his three years of service in the army in the day of peril for America renders this community doubly indebted to him. He was one of the few remaining members of the G. A. R. in this city at the time of his death.

Few people realize the strenuous service the 27th Inf. saw. They were sent first into northern Minnesota to quell the Indians. From there they went to Vicksburg and fought under Sherman. Their journeys through Arkansas and their campaign in Louisiana and the finale in Mobile at the end of the war, made them a record of 3,000 miles on foot and 10,000 by boat and rail.

Mr. Hutchins passed away Sunday afternoon at 1:30 and the following morning at 10 o'clock a service was conducted at the home of Rev. L. C. Lemon, who accompanied the family to Nashua, where the remains were interred in the family lot.
