DEATH TAKES WELL KNOWN BARRINGTON YOUNG MAN FRIDAY
James W. Hutchinson Succumbs Following Operation in a Chicago Hospital
The passing of a young man under unusually sad circumstances was that of James W. Hutchinson, which occurred last Friday night at the Augustana hospital, Chicago, where he was taken July 1 for treatment. An operation had been performed Thursday morning for periostitis, but blood poisoning soon developed, and he lived less than two days after passing through the ordeal.
Mr. Hutchinson was born in Barrington, October 29, 1887, and had spent his life in this vicinity. When fourteen years of age he suffered an injury which never healed, and for many years following the accident he was completely unable to work. When a small boy to took a position in the office of the Public Service company of Northern Illinois. the company had just located here then, and he gradually worked his way to a good paying job, and when death called him he was the trouble man in the gas department. His working ability was never questioned, and he always tried to do his best, no matter how hard the task.
"Jim," as he was familiarly called about town, had a host of friends and was possessed with good habits. He was a member of the Guardians of Liberty and loved his mother and home. His many deeds of kindness will long live in the minds of his mother, sisters, brother and friends as a sacred thought in years to come to know that he shed radiance in the home as long as he did, and those dear to him will ever tenderly cherish his manly disposition thus displayed. The measure of sorrow for his kin can be realized only by those who have shared a like bereavement.
Besides his mother, Mrs. Anna Hutchinson, there are four sisters and a brother left to mourn his departure. The sisters are: Mrs. N. D. Brown of this village, Mrs. Richard Barker, Chicago, Mrs. Vincent Davlin, Wauconda, and Mrs. Walter Meyer of Cary. The brother is C. L. Hutchinson, with whom the deceased had made his home for years.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the home of his brother, in charge of Rev. Edgar Woolhouse, pastor of the Baptist church, and the remains were laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery.
