True Republican, 20 March 1912

Her friends and admirers in Sycamore were deeply grieved on Monday on receipt of the intelligence of the death of Mrs. William P. Dutton at Los Angeles, Cal.

This gracious and lovable woman had suffered poor health for about two years, and had gradually declined in spite of the devoted care of her husband and the attendance of the most skillful physicians who were unable to determine the cause of her ailment and could do no more than to prolong her life for a few months.

Mrs. Dutton spent a considerable portion of last summer in a hospital in Chicago, where she was operated upon. She improved very slightly, if any, and in accord with her wish, she returned to her home at Winnipeg, Can. After only a few weeks there she was taken to Rochester, Minn., were she was operated upon and where she remained for most of the winter under the care of the Drs. Mayo. Mrs. Dutton then thought she might gain in strength if she was able to be outdoors, and, although she was hardly able to lift her head, accompanied by her husband, her eldest son and a nurse, she departed less than a month ago for Southern California, where they arrived after a tedious journey. She had been there hardly more than two weeks, when the messenger called, and her sufferings were ended.

Blanche B. Blue was born at Montpelier, Ohio, forty years ago, and there she grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage at the home of her parents in that city in 1901 to William P. Dutton, son of the late Gen. Everell F. Dutton of this city. They resided in Sycamore for about a year after their marriage, when Mr. Dutton became interested in timber lands in Saskatchewan, Can., and they removed to Winnipeg. Here Mrs. Dutton made many friends, as she did everywhere, and they entertained to a considerable extent, both Mr. and Mrs. Dutton being popular with the large American contingent in that city. Here were born their two sons: Everell F., aged eight, and William P. aged four years, who survive. Mrs. Dutton also leaves surviving her mother and a sister at Montpelier, Ohio, a sister at Kankakee, Ill., and a brother who is manager of the mills of the Great West Lumber company owned by Mr. Dutton at Greenbush, Saskatchewan, Can.

The remains will arrive in Sycamore on Sunday, and the funeral services will be held at the home of Mrs. E. F. Dutton on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The officiating clergyman will be Rev. George A. Sahlin of Benton Harbor, Mich., who will be assisted by Rev. George H. Ashworth, pastor of the Sycamore Universalist church. The interment will be in the Dutton lot in Elmwood cemetery.
