Mr. Hutchison was a man widely known in the Tri-State region. Born in Monroe county August 8, 1841, he moved with his parents, while a young child, to Fallsburg, Ky. After spending his youth in eastern Kentucky he went to Wayne, W. Va., where he engaged in the hotel business. He enlisted as a member of Company H, Fourteenth Virginia volunteers [this should be Co. H, 14th KY Infantry; MP], (later West Virginia), at the outbreak of the war between the states, and served the Union cause for four years.
After the war he returned to Wayne where he served two terms as clerk of the circuit court. In the early eighties he came to Huntington. For twenty years prior to his death he was secretary of the Board of Education of Guyandotte district. In 1904 he was elected as a justice of the peace in Guyandotte district and served two terms. For several years prior to his death he was commissioner of accounts in Cabell county.
Two sons; Charles Hutchison of Charleston and K. F. Hutchison of Huntington and three daughters, Mrs. E. R. Cole and Mrs. Mitchell of West Virginia, and Mrs. Taylor, of Wayne survive him, as does also his venerable wife.
