When fourteen years of age he moved with his parents to Iowa and resided there for six years. He then moved to La Plata, Mo., where he was married to Elsie F. McDermet September 2, 1903. In 1905 they moved to Fillmore county, Nebraska.
He leaves to mourn his death his wife, one son and two daughters, Derrel, Francis and Maxine, his mother, one brother, Delaney M. of Kansas City, Mo., three sisters, Mrs. Jeanette shouse, Mrs. Laura Ashby and Lou of La Plata, Mo., and his grandmother, Mrs. Margaret Nichols of Helens, Ok. His father, two brothers, three sisters and two infant sons preceded him in death.
He was converted at the age of seventeen and he joined the Baptist church, later transferring his membership to the Methodist church at Geneva.
A host of friends join the bereaved family in their deep sorrow for Mr. Hutchens was a sincere friend to all who knew him. Quiet, calm, never aggressive in his opinions, never ostentatious. He was bravely tenacious for the right, with great faith in God and the Christian religion. He is characterized as a friendly and loyal man. He was loyal to his home, his family, his friends and his church. Through his long illness there was good cheer and real optimism. He was ready to go. We emulate his faith. We feel his presence in loving memory and in communication of spirit, though we no longer see his familiar form or hear his kind voice. He slipped away, believing that sentiment so well expressed by one who himself has entered that larger life "This body is my house – it is not I. Triumphant in this faith I live and die."
The funeral took place from the Methodist Episcopal church in Geneva at 2 p. m. Sunday and was conducted by Rev. H. G. Langley. Interment was in the Geneva cemetery. (Nebraska Signal 28 JUL 1927 front pg)
