General Notes: Husband - William Hutchinson
He was born in Ireland, and after receiving a good intellectual training in the public schools, was brought to America by his parents. He took up the occupation at which his father had been so successful, becoming a machinist and engine builder, and was one of the finest workmen in Pittsburgh. He was a member of the firm of Hartup & Co., and subsequently, of the firm of Robinson, Minnis & Miller, the then well-known manufacturers of marine and stationary engines. In connection with his brother Robert, William Hutchinson had the distinction of having built the first steam-power fire engine ever made in the country, which was tested in Cincinnati, in 1854, and was a pronounced success. It was while testing this engine that he contracted a severe cold, which shortly afterwards resulted in his death.
In political affiliations, he was a Whig. He was a member of the Reformed Presbyterian church.
