General Notes: Husband - William Porter Hutchison

---

He had somewhat meager educational advantages in his native county, and was quite young when he began to help on the farm, though being slight for his age he could not do as much as some boys. His father worked at the mason's trade, and after his marriage he lived on his father's farm for a few years, and then removed to Valley township, later Rayburn, in Armstrong County, locating on a tract of sixty-three acres which had never been well cleared and had grown up to underbrush. The old farmhouse on the place faced the cold northwest winds, and but for the hills which sheltered it would have been in danger of being blown over. Thus he began life there under rather adverse conditions, but he set about the task of getting his land into good shape, and in time, as he prospered, built a convenient house and other buildings, and saw that his family had the advantages which had been denied him in his youth. Later in life Mr. Hutchison gave up active farm labor, leasing his land, but he continued to live at his old home. Though he was always a Democrat he received the support of Republicans when a candidate for office. He served his fellow citizens for twenty-seven years in the office of assessor and as overseer of the poor. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church. [HAC 1914, 459]
