JOHN and KATHERINE HUTTON
John E. Hutton was born in Wisconsin June 27, 1864. His family move to Iowa when he was small. He had 11 brothers and sisters. He married Katherine Gray, July 24, 1882 in Rockwell city, Iowa. They raised one daughter, Maude M. Hutton.
In 1893, several of the Huttons and relatives went by covered wagon to the Rosebud country in Montana. They each took up homesteads and built a town of Hutton, Montana.
Joel W. Hutton (father of John) was the postmaster; his brother-in-law, Jerome Dickson, established a general store. The men built a fort where all of the families came during the Indian uprisings. There was a good sized country school.
About 1900 the government bought all of these families' lands to be used for a reservation. Some moved to Sheridan, some to Hardin. John Hutton and the Dicksons moved to Dayton. John bought a place at the halfway lane between Dayton and Ranchester. The Melvin Whites own the place now. John made a block box and made cement blocks to build their house, also a house in Dayton where they lived later. Both houses are still being lived in.
After John's health failed, he leased the place and reserved on a few acres for himself. He passed away May 3, 1932.
