Wesley T. Hutchins, son of Alonzo and Rosetta Weed Hutchins was born in Freeborn County, Minn., April 2, 1872, next to the youngest of eight children, and died March 2, 1948, aged 75 years and 11 months. His father moved to Iowa for a few years and April 2, 1884, came with his family to North Loup, and bought the farm west of 42 school, where Wesley helped with the farming. In September, 1892, he was married to Grace Clement and for years they lived on the farm, then moved to North Loup where he worked for his brothers, G. L. and E. A. Hutchins, who were in the pump and windmill business. Except for a few months in Idaho and a year in Colorado, he lived the rest of his life in North Loup, where his wife died July 24, 1934.
He worked for several years for the International Harvester Co., seven years for the Woodmanse Co., then for eighteen years for the Aermotor co., till he retired on account of his age. In all these positions, he was traveling salesman. In 1919, he bought the home just outside of town, which he took great pains to beautify. He was interested in all things which improved the town, and at one time was assistant Boy Scoutmaster.
In August 1935, he married Mrs. Florence Stewart of Des Moines, Ia., who as little girl had lived west of the Hutchins home. She and Wesley were two of the first scholars at the 42 school, Wesley's name being the first on the school roll.
September 25, 1920, he joined the Seventh Day Baptist church, was a regular attendant, and for many years sang in the choir.
He loved music, he loved children, he loved wild life, and especially birds. No one can remember him without seeing his genial smile, his willingness to do favors to others, his joy in meeting friends.
He leaves to mourn his passing four children, Floyd P., of North Loup, Mrs. Gladys Christensen, of Ord, Mrs. Helen Louise Brennick of North Loup, Clyde W. of Ft. Collins, Colo., six grandchildren and one great grandchild; and one brother, G. L. Hutchins, of North Loup.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon from the Seventh Day Baptist church in North Loup, with Rev. A. C. Ehret giving the message. A quartette, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Babcock, Mrs. Nels Jorgensen and Dell Barber sang selections Mr. Hutchins had chosen. Mrs. Alva Johnson was at the organ. Preceding the service LaVerne Hutchins, a grandson, played the piano. Pallbearers were Roy Cox, David Davis, Edgar Davis, Aubrey Davis, Arthur Stillman and Roy Lewis. Miller and Ashley of Scotia were the undertakers in charge of arrangements. Burial was in Hillside cemetery. A bank of floral offerings, beautifully arranged, were the tribute. Here from away for the funeral of W. T. Hutchins were the Clyde Hutchins family of Ft. Collins, Colo., Mr. and Mrs. LaVerne Hutchins, of Kearney and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Burdick of Grand Island.
