Al Hutson Killed in Auto Accident
Albert Hutson, aged 65, of Parkdale, was a victim of a skidding automobile he was driving Saturday 25 miles west of Linnton.
He passed an automobile in which A. B. Hansen, employe of the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph company, and Wilbur Hood, member of the jury in the Abner spiritist case, recently concluded in circuit court, were riding, going at about 30 miles an hour. His machine skidded and turned crosswise across the pavement, rolling over and fracturing the skull of the driver.
Death was instantaneous. Identification was established by cards in the pockets of Mr. Hutson. Hood and Hansen were witnesses of the accident and went immediately to the aid of the unfortunate automobilist but their concern was of no avail.
The automobile driven by Mr. Hutson came to its tragic stop at the foot of a slight incline up which the car rolled a short distance. Instead of going over an embankment of many feet, the death car held to the grade and spilled its unlucky occupant upon the pavement where he was killed. The body was taken in charge by the Multnomah county coroner's office.
Funeral services were held at the Anderson parlors Monday afternoon, Rev. R. A. Hutchinson officiating. Mr. Hutson, who left here early Saturday morning to visit a daughter on the lower river, was one of the best liked men of the Upper Valley. He was known far and wide for his genial disposition and his philosophical views of the problems of life.
Mr. Hutson is survived by his wife, seven sons and two daughters. Twenty-four grandchildren survive.
