Probaby born in New York State. Prior to 1860
worked on a farm in PA. By 1861 he was a "clerk" in Cleveland, OH, apparently reading law to become an attorney, which he accomplished, becoming a member of the Cleveland Bar Association prior to early 1861. Enlisted in Company E, 103rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry(raised by Cleveland Grays Militia Company), April 16, 1861 and was mustered out as a private, Aug. 1, 1861 at the end of his term of service. Enlisted as Captain, Company B, 103rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry at Cleveland, OH, July 10, 1862. Killed in action at the Battle of Resaca, GA, May 14, 1864. Remains were returned to Cleveland for a service and eventually transported to Juneau, WI for burial where his mother, Betsy(died 1871) had relocated from NY apparently to be with other family members who had moved there also. He never married. His name is on Panel #13 in the Cuyahoga County Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, Public Square, Cleveland, OH. A sculptured bronze bust of Hutchinson is also on display there. In 1865 the Army named one of three earthern fortifications at Mt. Sterling, KY, east of Lexington, "Ft. Hutchinson." The site is now the local cemetery. His father, Salmon, died Oct. 22, 1857, and may be buried in Ithaca, NY. Other Hutchinson family members buried at Juneau City Cemetery in Juneau, WI are: Mary E. Hutchinson (Dec. 11, 1796-Nov. 21, 1892), Silas Hutchinson(died Aug. 23, 1870, age 26 yrs., 2 mos., 8 da.), and his mother, Betsy Hutchinson (died 1871). Also killed at the Battle of Resaca, GA, May 14, 1864,
was fellow Cleveland attorney, John T. Philpot, Capt., Company D, 103rd O.V.I. His remains were also transported back to Cleveland with those of Hutchinson and a dual memorial service was held there. Philpot is buried in Woodland Cemetery, Cleveland, OH. It should be noted that Hutchinson listed "attorney" as his occupation by the time of his military service in the 1st Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
