Thomas Hutchison was born in Musgrove Township September 7, 1880, but made his home in Farmington the last nine years. He was taken suddenly and severely ill Monday morning, last week and died Thursday morning, December 19, 1901, at the age of 21 years, 3 months and 12 days, leaving his mother and four sisters to mourn his untimely departure. A few minutes before his death he was told that friends would do all they could for him, “but in case we can’t pull you through, how will it be with you?” He replied, “It will be all right, I have made my peace with God, and if God wants me, I am ready to go.”

Brief funeral services were conducted at the home by Pastor Ratcliff, and the body was laid to rest in Green Glade Cemetery, Sunday afternoon.
