Obituary-Hutchins

Burton C. Hutchins was born in St. Lawrence county, N. Y., April 26, 1885. 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 Infantry, and was 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 in Mitchell county and his three years of service in the army in the days 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.
