Jesse T. was one of seven children. His first independent work was done as a teacher in the district schools. He did not stay long in teaching, and soon became superintendent of the Old South Wabash Seminary, which had been turned into a Quaker institution of learning.
Jesse realized he did not want to teach. He accordingly took up law under the direction of Judge J.D. Conner, Sr., and he was admitted to the bar in about 1876. He established himself in his profession in a partnership with Warren G. Sayre, under the firm name of Sayre & Hutchens. That partnership was dissolved and he then formed an association with Charles Flynn under the firm name of Hutchens and Flynn. He continued thus until his death on July 11, 1890, when he was 39 years of age.
Mr. Hutchens' career, though all too brief, was an exceedingly busy one. He was at one time City Attorney, and again served as County Attorney. He became equally prominent in public affairs and it was through his instrumentality that the city park was deeded to the city by the old Agricultural Society. He, likewise, was the first to suggest the advisability and possibility of a Board of Trade for Wabash.
Hutchens married Abbie Small, also of Quaker parents, and to them were born five children. Harry B. was the eldest. Lulu died in infancy, and the other are Orth D., Essie, and Jesse Platt Hutchens.
