OBITUARY: William Black Hutchins, 1895-1925
WILLIAM B. HUTCHINS DEAD
September 3, 1895 - July 12, 1925
Another Soldier Pays Supreme
Sacrifice for Country
Ill Since Discharge in 1919
Another of our soldier boys was "mustered out" Sunday night, and although he did not fall on the field of battle, gave his life in the same measure for his country.
Wm. Black Hutchins was born in Nebraska, Sept. 3, 1895. He spent his childhood in Osage and was educated in our high school. He was employed in the Gardner Motor Co. garage when the call came for our boys to enter the world. He spent eleven months in Camp Dodge and eighteen months over seas in an ambulance corps, where he contracted the disease that ended his life. He spent some time in a hospital in France and a sanitarium in Colorado.
When he returned home he was united in marriage with Miss Matie Low, July 23, 1920. They made their home in Osage, later going to Ames, where he took a course in electrical engineering. Jan. 12, 1923, a little son, Gardner Low, name [came] to brighten their home, but they were denied the joy of bringing up their boy together, for on May 30, 1923, Mrs. Hutchins passed away leaving Gardner in his father's care. His wife's death was a blow to him, probably hastening his death.
Mr. Hutchins was sent to a Kansas City hospital, but wanted to be near home, so was transferred to Minneapolis in order that he might see his son and mother. Their frequent visits were a source of great comfort to him. He grew weaker, finally passing away at the U. S. veterans hospital Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
His body was shipped to Osage and the funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of his mother, Mrs. M. Hutchins. He was buried at St. Ansgar beside his wife. Rev. Edw. H. Koster of the local Baptist church officiating and the American Legion having charge of the funeral.
