The home of Mr. and Mrs O. V. Hurdle was saddened last evening by the death of their little baby daughter, Aletha Mary, aged 16 months and 12 days, from a complication of troubles which started with a severe cold some days ago. Little Aletha was the idol of the family, she being the only daughter, and her loss is heart-breaking to the parents and other members of the family. The funeral services will be held at the home tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock, conducted by Dr. T. C. Smith. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 18, 1900

Charles Hurdle died Friday morning, about one o'clock, at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs O. V. Hurdle, in south Clarinda, aged 17 years, 7 months and 5 days. His death was a great surprise as he had only been sick a short time. His affliction seemed to baffle the physicians but the cause is said to have been the result of an injury at some time to his intestines which developed so slowly that he hardly discovered it himself. At a post mortem examination held by eight physicians Friday afternoon was developed the fact that a hemorrhage of an intestine had caused his death, aggravated by an attack of walking typhoid fever. Charley was a bright and companionable boy and well spoken of by all. He was a great favorite with school mates and always mingled in their games, and doted much on entering tbe high school this year. His untimely death is deeply mourned, and the parents and three brothers he leaves behind have the sympathy of all. The funeral took place at the home Sunday at 3 p. m., conducted by Rev. Maclean, and members of his school games acted as pall bearers. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 13, 1906

The community was greatly shocked this morning to hear of the death of Charles Hurdle at one o'clock last night. Only within the past few days the parents and close friends of the boy had begun to fear the worst, yet even those who were closest to him were unprepared for the sudden death last night. The malady which took the boy's life was a peculiar one, it being the telescoping of the smaller intestine into the larger one. The encroachments of the trouble were insidious and for the past four or five weeks the boy's strength has been slowly sapped without the knowledge of his parents or even himself.
Charles Hurdle was born in Clarinda February 2, 1889, and has spent all his life in the community. He was a favorite with all. He was strong and robust and took an active part in athletic sports in which he delighted and was very proficient. He was a lively, wide awake boy, friendly and companionable and his place in the school will be hard to fill. He would have entered as a junior in the high school had he been permitted to resume his work next Monday as he had planned. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, having joined two years ago, Rev. Maclean tells the story of his joining the church which reveals many of his sturdy qualities. He was a member of a class of young people who were to join the church two years ago, but when the time came at which these young people were to enter into full membership, all backed out but Charles who entered alone, although Mr. Maclean told him be could wait and enter a little later when some others would be joining. This was characteristic of the boy who was manly and earnest. No better thing can be said of a boy than the testimony Charles' own mother bears of his unfailing kindness to her. A boy who treats his mother right cannot go wrong, and Mrs Hurdle can truly say that Charles never gave her a heartache by any act of unkindness or disobedience. He was the second of the four boys in the family and is survived by three brothers, Frank, Yale and Marion.
The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at three o'clock at the home, Rev. J, N, Maclean conducting the services. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 7, 1906

Charles Hurdle's sickness was one of the most baffling cases with which the physicians of Clarinda have had to deal for years and the nature of his illness was so uncertain that a post mortem examination was held over the body of the dead boy Friday afternoon. There were eight physicians present whose names were as follows, Drs. Witte and Moon of the hospital, and Drs. Killingsworth, Sellards, Farrens, Powers, Matthews, and English of this city. The agreed verdict of six physicians who had examined the boy before his death was that there was a telescoping of the intestines, but the post mortem revealed an entirely different condition. It was found that a portion of the intestine was ulcerated and that the death had been caused by hemmorage. The disease from which the boy had suffered was pronounced walking typhoid of which the ulceration of the intestine was a characteristic symptom. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 11, 1906

Mrs. E. E. Hurlburt Shoots Herself on Street at Midnight.
People in Clarinda were greatly shocked Tuesday to hear of the suicide at St. Joseph, Mo., of Mrs. Elsworth E. Hurlburt, who was until a few years ago a resident of Clarinda, her husband being the express agent here. Mr. and Mrs. Hurlburt were married in Clarinda fifteen years ago, and have numerous relatives in the city and in Page county. One of these relatives who has recently visited the Hurlburts and who has been corresponding with Mrs. Hurlburt, stated to a Herald reporter yesterday that Mrs. Hurlburt's health had not been good and that she had for some time seemed despondent. Mr. and Mrs. Hurlburt have two children, twin girls aged eleven. At the time of their mother's death the children were visiting with their grandparents Mr. and .Mrs. S. W. Hurlburt of Villisca. Mrs. Hurlburt had written a letter to her daughters stating that she would come to Villisca either Tuesday or Wednesday night. The twin daughters were looking anxiously forward to a visit from their mother when a telegram announcing her death came. Mr. and Mrs. Hurlburt of Villisca and grandchildren started immediately for St. Joe, and did not know the shocking manner in which Mrs. Hurlburt met death until they reached the Missouri city. Mrs. Hurlburt is spoken of here in the very highest terms by all. The story of her sad fate as told by the Gazette-Herald follows:
Mrs. Leah Hurlburt, aged thirty-two years, wife of Elsworth E. Hurlburt, a conductor of the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs railroad, shot and killed herself Monday night in front of the residence of Mrs. L. Ducolon, 1712 Savannah avenue. Her body was found lying face downward in a pool of blood shortly afterward by Victor Summer, a boarder at the Duculoh home. It is supposed that the woman took her life in a moment of temporary insanity, as she had been subject to fits of despondency, owing to;ill health.
. It was thought at the time the body was discovered that the unfortunate woman might have been murdered, but the finding of her husband's revolver at her feet dispelled the idea. It contained two loaded chambers and three empty ones, one of which showed that the cartridge had been but recently discharged. The dress of the dead woman was powder burned and had evidently caught fire from the discharge, showing that the revolver had been held close to her body.
Coroner Doyle was notified shortly after the body had been found and he had it removed to Heaton's morgue, where an autopsy was held. The bullet had entered the left breast, penetrated the upper lobe of the left lung and lodged in the spinal column. An inquest will be held to day.
The movements of the dead woman last night are shrouded in mystery. According to the statement of her husband, she left home about 8 o'clock in company with Mary Woodside. She said she was going for a walk, but did not say where. A few minutes after 10 o'clock she boarded a Union line car, Y. P. Reynolds, conductor, at Fifth and Edmond streets. Mrs. Hurlburt rode to Lake Contrary, but did not alight there. When Sixth and Monterey streets was reached on the return trip she left the car and it is supposed went to her home. Her husband states she returned about 11 o'clock and again left the house a few minutes later.
Mrs. Hurlburt evidently went direct to the street car line after leaving the house the second time and boarded a northbound car. About 11:45 o'clock she called at the residence of Mrs. Ducolon. The door was opened by Mrs. Charles Ducolon, a daughter-in-law of Mrs. L. Ducolon. The woman inquired for Y. R. Reynolds, the Union line conductor on whose car she had ridden to the lake and who boarded at the Ducolon home. She was informed that Mr. Reynolds was due at the street car barns at midnight and that he could be expected to reach his room in a short time. Mrs. Hurlhurt declined an invitation to enter the house, remarking that she would wait upon the outside.
About fifteen minutes later Mrs. Ducolon heard a shot. She went to the door and looked out, but could see nothing unusual. Being alarmed, however, she awakened Victor Summer, a boarder. Looking out of his window he saw the body of a woman lying on the ground. Dressing hastily he ran down stairs glanced hastily at the prostrate form and then informed the police. Patrolman W. H. Rice was notified from headquarters of the shooting and told to go at once to the scene of the tragedy. He notified Coroner Doyle.
Mr. Hurlburt was in bed asleep at his home, 1609 South Sixth street, when his wife's body was found. At
central police station this morning he said to a Daily News reporter:
"There is no doubt in my mind that my wife shot herself. She had our revolver and there was one empty shell in it. I attribute her rash act to temporary insanity. Fourteen years ago she was taken very ill with a complication of diseases, which left her in a weak condition. She never regained her strength and this frequently made her very despondent. We never had any domestic trouble and I can see no reason why she should kill herself, unless she was insane."

Hurlburt said that Y. F. Reynolds for whom the woman asked at the home of Mrs. Ducolon, is an old friend of the family. He thinks she wanted to send her children some word of farewell by Reynolds. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 2, 1901

Mrs. Ellie Hurlbut committed suicide at St. Joseph, Mo., Monday night, about 11:30, by shooting herself through the left side, the ball entering the lung and lodging in the spine.  Such is the sad news given by Tuesday's papers from that city.  The cause is said to have been from temporary insanity brought about by poor health and despondency. She left home about 11 o'clock while her husband was in bed asleep and went to a hotel calling for a street car conductor, Mr. Reynolds, a friend of the family who boarded there, but was told he had not come in from his run.  She would not go in, saying she would wait on the out side for him.  A few minutes later a shot was heard and going out she was found dead in a pool of blood.   Mr. and Mrs. Hurlbut were residents of this city a few years ago, and had been married about fifteen years, Miss Hearn then living out near Page Center.    Two children twins,    were   born    to   them, now eleven years old.  Mr. Hurlbut is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Hurlbut of Villisca.  For several years he was express agent in this city and is now conductor on a freight train on the K. C. & C. B. railroad. He knows no other cause for the terrible deed   than   that given above, as the family relations are said to have been amicable.    It is another sad case of "weary of life and its burdens," and causes one to reflect and ask, are the people growing better or worse under the present methods of civilization? PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 1, 1901

Warren Hurlbut died soon after eating his dinner yesterday from a stroke of apoplexy while sitting in his chair.
He was well up in the 80s and had lived in this vicinity since about 1857. The funeral will be held at 2:30 tomorrow from the home in southwest Clarinda, conducted by Rev. Enoch Hill of College Springs. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 23, 1913

The following obituary is that of the husband of a lady formerly of Nebraska township, Page county, Mary Adelaide Parks, daughter of Mrs. John Parks of that township. The Obituary was contributed by Rev. Thomas Nelson to the Macomb (Ill.) Journal, and is:
Charles R. Hushaw, son of Henry and Emily Little Hushaw, was born Oct. 20, 1864, on the old Hushaw homestead, four and one-half miles northeast of Industry and passed away Aug. 4, at 7:45 p.m.   On Oct. 5, 1910, he was united in marriage to Mary Adelaide Parks of Clarinda, Iowa, and they resided on one of his farms northeast of town until September, 1917, when they moved from the home of his birth to his late residence in Industry. In his youth he united with the Presbyterian church at West Prairie, where he remained an active member until his change of residence in the autumn of 1917.   Since that time he has attended    the    Methodist Episcopal church, where he will be sadly missed. Fraternally he was affiliated with the I. O. O. F. lodge.   His.father, mother and one brother, James Franklin, have preceded him in passing to the Great Beyond.  Besides his bereaved wife, he leaves to mourn his untimely death, three sisters, Mrs. J. L. Foster of Macomb, Mrs. C. B. Lawyer of Good Hope, and Mrs. Bert Applegate of Littleton; two brothers, J. E. and S. P. Hushaw of Scott City, Kans., and a host of relatives and friends.   The funeral was held at the Methodist Episcopal church at 2:30 p.m., Thursday, and was very largely attended. Interment was in Industry cemetery.   Mr. Hushaw was a devoted husband and brother, always keeping the comfort, of others uppermost in his mind. He was a leader in civic life, being ever ambitious to be of service to those about him.   His pleasing demeanor won for him a wide circle of friends. His characteristic of industry was coordinate with his charitable disposition, and his business duties were greater than his health could sustain. His death caused by cerebral hemorrhage came as a great shock to those bereft and to the entire community. His illness lasted but a week, during which time his suffering was intense. Everything was done to relieve his suffering that loving hands and medical skill could do.  His physicians reported his condition improving until a short time before the hour of his death. Mr. Hushaw was successful financially and used his money and talents for the improvement of mankind.   He was kind to everyone and always helped where help was needed.     In every church and municipal movement Charlie Hushaw had a prominent place. He was a great booster, always putting the church first; everything else was secondary. He was a strong believer in living the right kind of life. He lived it himself and tried by word and deed, precept and example, to influence others in the right direction. A greater worker for humanity has never lived in Industry. His life was spent in doing good. He lived for others.
"Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends." CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 21, 1919         

Dr. Horace Lee Husted, third assistant physicial at the Clarinda State Hospital, died Saturday, April 23, 1921, at Iowa City, following a surgical operation for obstruction of the gall duct.

An Untimely Death
Louis Hutcheson, youngest son of Andy Hutcheson, living about one mile south of Braddyville, was the victim of a horrible accident last Thursday, which resulted in his death in a few hours. The boy was sliding down the hay to the loft and was unfortunate enough to run one of the prongs of a pitchfork which was leaning against the hay, into his rectum. He died Friday morning from the effects of the wound.
This family are certainly having a run of bad luck. A daughter, Alice, died in March and another daughter, Letha, is crippled up with rheumiatisim, a boy, Tom, was taken down recently with typhoid fever, and the mother is quite ill at the present time. They certainly need the help and sympathy of their community. CLARINDA HERALD, Jul 20, 1911

Mrs. E. A. Hutchings, the mother of Will O. Hutchings, of this city, died Friday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. T. R. Riggs, at Centerville. Mr. Hutchings was present at the funeral, as were also Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Clipson now of Okamulgee, Okla. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 14, 1908

Eliza A., daughter of George and Sarah Ribble, was born in Page county, Virginia, August 15, 1825. She was one of a family of ten children, some of whom reside in Clarinda, and are well known and highly respected, viz.: Mrs. Isaac Van Arsdol, Mrs. Samuel Weidner, Mrs. Gilbert Lyons and David Ribble. At the age of twenty years she removed with her parents to Delaware county, Indiana, and not long afterwards she was united in marriage to John Stout Hutchings.
The country was new, and many were the hardships to be endured, but slowly the young couple began to see the wilderness conquered, a commodious home erected, and found themselves in possession of the plenty that comes at the call of intelligent and well directed effort.
To them were born twelve children, seven boys and five girls, viz.: Samuel, Sarah, George, Emma, Cyrus, Maggie, Will, John, Geneva, Vete, Otis and Anna. On August 15th, 1865, the husband died, and in 1868 the mother and her flock came to Clarinda, where they lived until 1885, at which time the mother ceased to keep house, and made her home among her children. For the past fifteen years she had been at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Thos. R, Riggs, at Centerville, la. And at that place, on Friday, Feb. 7th, at 12 o'clock, noon, she passed into the great beyond, "as tranquil as a star meets morning."
The funeral services were held at the residence on Sunday, February 9th, at 2:30 p. m., conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. H. Perdew, of the M. E. church. Interment in Centerville cemetery.
Alfred Tennyson wrote "In Memoriam" as a funeral dirge for his dead friend, Arthur Henry Hallam.
Robert G. Ingersoll delivered the funeral oration over his own dead brother, and from the depths of the greatest grief his life had ever known, he voiced these words which are near of kin to the Christian's hope: "Yet in the night of death hope sees a star, and listening love, can hear the rustling of a wing.''
Frances E. Willard devoted a whole volume to a eulogy on the beautiful life and triumphant death of her sister. And if writers and orators such as these might with propriety publicly pay tribute to their sacred dead, why may not I, who loved my mother much, write a few words commemorative of her quiet faith-filled life; a life differing in no great degree from the lives of myriads of other good mothers, who are worthy of all honor, and upon whom we bestow our meed of praise.
The world needs its men and women of great talent and vast achievement, but none the less does it need those whose deeds are not accounted great, those who do their best and then fall asleep, leaving a legacy of love and tenderness,  of sunshine and helpfulness, to gladden weary and darkened hearts and lighten the burdens that others bear. These are the ones that are truly great; living they have enobled life, dying they have proven to the world that they who will may, and in that other world where souls that knew each other here, shall meet again these are the ones who shall go in unshamed before that mighty multitude and hear the Master speak the words, "Well done!"
My mother was an optimist, the golden age was always just ahead of her, and though she never greeted the dawning of its resplendent morning, by faith she saw the reddening east, and heard the watchman call, "Morning dawns, and all is well.'' Her mind was a storehouse of the great thoughts of the masters of literature. The sweet and tender songs of the poets came down from the corridor of her memory at her beck and call. She knew the pathos and the poetry of human life, its careless shadows and its tragic depths.
Believing that this is God's world, and that he would care for his own, she kept the holy faith in Him through sunshine and shadow, storm and calm, and saw, in spite of cloud and temporary triumph of the wrong, the eternal goodness working for the betterment of the human race. Her sympathies were as wide as human woe, and her hearty handclasp and her cheering word drove from out the saddened heart the awful spectre of despair. Hers was the epic of a good and noble life, and if she missed the honors and plaudits of the world, her work brought blessedness to her own soul. Because of it her days were jewelled with delight, and the sunshine of her joyful reward fell thick upon her. But in her heart it was not always May. Great griefs had come. The husband of her youth had gone into the great beyond, then next a bright-eyed boy was taken from her side. Again, two stalwart sons died far from home and mother, and then one daughter laid her, armor off and passed into the "land of the leal." What wonder that the mother should go out to her Garden of Gethsemane, for this old world has Gethsemanes innumerable, when the Christ comes again, not as of old He came to pray, but to answer the prayers that fall from the lips of his children, and then on bended knee she prayed that the awful cup of woe might be pressed to her lips no more.   Nevertheless, His will, not her's, be done. Then turning hopefully toward the future she took up her burden with trust unfaltering, and with faith sublime.
When the alloted three score years and ten had passed away she began to dwell in the land of memory, the far away land of the "used to be." To the old home, the home folks, the dear old father, the love-crowned mother, the joy-filled days, the starlit nights, and sitting in the mellow evening twilight she heard again the music that she loved in the long ago, sung now by voices that had been stilled for many years. She remembered old friendships with those who had slept beneath the sighing cypress or the trailing vine for half a century.
Calmly she heard the call, "Come home," and up the shining pathway of the stairs our mother went, to be forever with her Lord. Will. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 21, 1908

W. O. Hutchings received a telegram Wednesday morning informing him of the death of his brother, Mr. George Hutchings, who died at his home in St. Louis, Mo., last Tuesday night. Mr. Hutchings lived in Clarinda until about twelve years ago, when he moved with his family to St. Louis, where he resided until his death. He was in the city last fall visiting with his brother, and his suffering at that time with kidney trouble, which finally caused his death. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 15, 1904

Death Claims Respected Resident
William Ostin Hutchings was born on November 11th, 1856 on a farm near Muncie, Delaware county, Indiana. Mr. Hutchings died Sunday, March 5th, 1916, at 5 p.m.   Therefore he was 59 years 3 months and 24 days old.
He was eighth of the family of twelve children of J. S. and Eliza   Hutchings.   In   religious belief Mr.  Hutchings  was  for twenty years termed what Prot Huxley called an agnostic. This is the doctrine known today as the teachings of Ingersoll. He joined the Christian church of Clarinda in 1891, and was a minister of that faith until a few years back when his health forced him to retire. Politically he was an uncompromising Republican. He took active part in many political campaigns in Iowa and Missouri. Poverty in his family during his youthful days took from him all opportunities in the educational line, but through continuous work and observation he gained a good education from books and classic literature at home.
His father died in 1866 and the remaining members of the family moved to Iowa in 1868. By occupation he was a cabinet maker and undertaker which in his day were kindred trades. He was married in November, 1881, to Nannie Edwards, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Edwards. To this union were born the following children: C. I., V. O., A. E., C. S., W. D. (who died in infancy), J. S., R. B., Aletha and Russel.
Three brothers and three sisters survive the deceased, they are namely: Mrs. J. C. Clipson of Okmulgee, Okla.; Mrs. T. R. Riggs, of Mercedes, Texas; Mrs. Anna Mitchell who lives in California. The brothers are Vete Hutchings of Smith Center, Kansas; Samuel Hutchings of Victoria, Mo., and Ote Hutchings residing in Texas.
He was a member of the Modern Woodman of America at the time of his death, having been an active member as long as his health permitted. He was also Councilman of Clarinda for one term in 1899. His younger days marked a stronger politicial career though than did his latter days.
The funeral will be conducted by Rev. John Meyer Asbell at the Christian church, Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. Interment will be made in the Birchwood cemetery. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 7, 1916

Will O. Hutehings, a resident of Clarinda since 1868, died here Sunday, March 5, 1916, after an illness which caused him to give up the activities of business about one and one-half years previous. For many years he filled an important place in the affairs of this city and vicinity, where he had a multitude of friends. His lifelong occupation was that of a cabinet maker and undertaker, and it was his lot many a time not only to lay away a friend in his casket but also to conduct his funeral service. For Mr. Hutchings had taken up the ministry and served in the capacity of a preacher of the Gospel as time and opportunity offered. As such he had a personality and a sympathetic temperament—a ready command of appropriate and eloquent language—which brought to him frequent invitations not only to officiate at funerals but at marriage ceremonies and church services. His voice also was heard at special church functions, at lodge meetings where addresses were in order, and he did effective campaign speaking for the political party of his choice—the Republican. For twenty years of his life an agnostic, at the end of that time, in June, 1891, he changed his views and adopted the religion of Christ, then becoming a member of the Christian church of Clarinda. As a minister of that denomination he frequently was called upon to preach at different points in Iowa and Missouri. His fame as an orator traveled far, and one of the invitations to him to speak, in public was some years ago when he was called to his former home state of Indiana to preach the funeral address of a lifelong friend amid the scenes of his childhood. By appointment and then by election he served as a councilman from the Third ward in Clarinda, having been elected to that position in 1899. He was a ready writer for publication, and for something like twenty years was an occasional, and part of the time, a regular contributor to the columns of The Journal. His department in this paper—;The Twilight Zone;—was always interesting— a department that paid much attention to the brighter side of life—that appealed to the home, to family ties, that paid tributes of respect to the mother, and took the reader to the green fields, the fishing place, the woods, and that reveled in the good things of nature. He had a passion for good poetry, for bits of eloquence from great authors, for wise sayings from those who knew and uttered wisdom, and culled from the best in prose and poetry to add to his own thoughts expressed in writing and then in print. Like many other Americans who have achieved, Mr. Hutchings had a modest start in life and knew by experience the vicissitudes with which it is threaded; he knew that all was not happiness, and that now and then there was the bitter to contend against. Perhaps his own nature may be most fittingly described by a verse of Frank L. Stanton which Mr. Hutehings clipped from a publication and saved among his scrap book selections:
"This world that we're a-livin' in
Is mighty hard to beat; Thou may get a thorn with every rose
But aint the roses sweet!"
Mr. Hutchings' literary taste is evidenced in one way by the large collection of superior gems he saved— writings and sayings of the foremost people. He was gifted with a remarkable memory and easily committed to the storehouse of his mind anything that he wished to retain there.
About forty-three years of the almost sixty of his life were spent in the occupation mentioned near the beginning of this article—in the employ of A. T. Clement, for whom he began to work in the spring of 1870 at 13 years of age. With Mr. Clement he became a thorough mechanic and from the well known store has gone a vast quantity of finely made furnitures—the product of his genius. And many a night, and on many a day regardless of weather or comfort, has he answered the call to go to a house of mourning to perform the duties of an undertaker.
William Ostin Hutchings was born near Muncie, Delaware county, Ind., the eighth of a family of seven sons and five daughters of whom, John S. and Eliza (Ribble) Hutchings were the parents. His father died in 1866, and while supposedly wealthy the settlement of the estate left the family practically penniless. In 1868, the mother, with her family, came to Clarinda, where her father, George Ribble, was living. For two years the son, Will, attended the Clarinda public schools and during his brief school days did what he could toward learning the printer's trade in the Clarinda Herald office. Disadvantages under which he labored failed to deter him from obtaining an education, and he persistently struggled to improve his mind. Nov. 2, 1881, he married Miss Nannie Edwards, daughter of the late J. M. Edwards of Clarinda. To Mr. and Mrs. Hutchings nine children were born: Clem, Vete, Ed, Charles, James, W. D. (deceased), Robert, Aletha, and Russell. With the wife and eight children surviving, three of Will O. Hutchings' brothers and three of his sisters are still living. They are Mrs. J. C. Clipson of Okmulgee, Okla.; Vete Hutchings of Smith Center, Kan.; Samuel Hutchings, Victoria, Mo.; Ote Hutchings, in Texas; Mrs. Anna Mitchell in California, and Mrs. T. R. Riggs of Mercedes, Tex.
. The funeral of Mr. Hutehings was held at 2:30 p.m., yesterday (Wednesday). The remains were accompanied from the family home by an escort from Locust camp, No. 344, M. W. A., to the Christian church, where a church service was conducted by Rev. John Meyer Asbell. The attendance at the funeral was large. The singers were Mrs. Anna Thompson, Mrs. O. E. Wheeler, G.M.Harbord and Bert Green. The.hymns sung were "Nearer, My God, to Thee," "It is Well with My Soul," and "Abide with Me." There were many beautiful floral offerings. From the church Locust camp of the Modern Woodmen order had charge. About forty of the members of the order were in the line of march to the Birchwood cemetery, where burial took place. The bearers were members of Locust camp: E. B. Westcott, C. C Bullock, George Kryselmire, C. T. Hill, J. V. Pfander and J. W. Barchus. At the grave the ritualistic service of the Modern Woodmen was given by the consul of Locust camp, Fred Johnson, a position the late Mr. Hutehings once filled. There was singing at the grave by Royal Neighbors of which lodge the widow of the deceased is a member. Among those in attendance at the funeral were members of the Yeomen lodge of which Mr. Hutchings was a social member.
In consequence of his experiences as an undertaker Mr. Hutchings had requested that his casket should not be opened at his funeral, and for this reason it was not. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 9, 1916

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to those who mourn his loss. To many people, Mr. Hutchings will be remembered for his kindly words and acts of sympathy, having preached at many funerals, without hope of pay or reward. To others he will be remembered by his "Twilight Zone" writings in some of the local papers. What education he had he gained from his own reading of books worth while, and he always lived up to the best that was in him, being a friend on whom all could depend. In his younger days he had a gifted mind and a wonderful memory. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 9, 1916

Gertrude Salber Hutchinson.
Funeral services for Gertrude Salber Hutchinson were held in Clarinda, Tuesday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, from the home of Mrs. W. A. Henderson, a sister-in-law of the deceased, conducted bv the Rev. A. S. Woodard, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. Music was furnished by a choir composed of Mrs. J. M Cozad, Mrs. Myrtle B. Nies, Mrs. J. G. Scroggs and the Misses Jeanette Painter, Mabel A. Brown and Amy Chiles and Messrs. Otis R. Lucas and J. D. T. Keener. Interment was in the Clarinda cemetery. The funeral services were to have been held Sunday afternoon, but postponed owing to the non arrival of the body from Canada. The following obituary and tribute to her life was composed by Miss Jeannette Painter and was read at the service by the pastor: Gertrude Salber was born in Lockridge, this state Aug. 11, 1879. The family lived there and at Salem before moving to Clarinda in the spring of 1894. She entered the schools here and was a graduate of the high school in the class of 1900. A short time after this death entered the home and the mother was taken, and those who were often in the home well remember Gertrude in her endeavor to fill her place and the devotion she gave to an invalid brother who followed the mother a few years later. She united early in life with the Methodist Episcopal church and was active in its work, being a member of the church choir and always ready to do her part in the young people's organizations of the church. She was married Nov. 30, 1905 to Dr. Ernest R. Limbocker of Clarinda, and they removed to New Virginia this state, where they resided until the death of Dr. Limbocker, May 3, 1908. Gertrude, with her little son, Ernest Granville, then returned to her father's home in Clarinda, remaining here until the fall of 1909 when they went to make their home in California. On April 3, 1915, she was married to Dr. Ray C. Huchinson and a few weeks later they went to Lousana, Alta, Canada, where she passed away Jan. 1, 1917. Her sickness dates from last August, she having been confined to her bed since that time. The cause of death was multiple neuritus. She leaves to mourn their loss a devoted husband and one son, Ernest Granville, aged ten years, who acompanied the body to Clarinda; a father, John Salber, a sister, Mrs. Fred Fuller; and a brother, Carl Salber; all of Oakdale, Calif. The latter was present at the funeral services. Gertrude has gone from among us, but the sweet memories of her genial disposition and the sincerity of her friendship remain with those who knew her."
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pickard, an uncle and aunt of the deceased, of Bonaparte, this state, were also present at the funeral. Mr. Hutchinson left for his home in Canada, today, and Mr. Salber expected to leave for California today. Although Mr. Hutchinson had become very much attached to his little stepson, Ernest Granville Limbocker, it was though best that he be taken to California by Mr. Salber, so the boy accompanied Mr. Salber when he left today for his home at Oakdale, Calif.

Mr. Thomas Hutchison died Monday morning at his home in Yorktown.aged 85 years, 9 months and 29 days. He was one of the old settlers of the county and an honorable man.
