W. S. Hutchinson Called Suddenly
_______________________
One of Coshocton's Most Prominent and Highly Esteemed Citizens Stricken and Dies in a Few Moments
The entire community was shocked Monday to hear of the sudden death of Willis S. Hutchinson, one of the city's best known citizens, which occurred Sunday evening about 10:30 o’clock at the family home on South 6th Street. Mr. Hutchinson had suffered a slight indisposition last week but Saturday seemed as well as usual and spent a busy day in his grocery store at Walnut and 6th streets. Sunday he accompanied his little grandson, Willis Cresap to Sunday school at the Presbyterian Church. In the afternoon he enjoyed a short walk and spent the remainder of the day reading. Shortly after 10 o'clock Sunday night Mr. Hutchinson started upstairs preparatory to retiring. He was seized with an attack of coughing and and when his daughter, Mrs. Cresap heard him she spoke to him saying that he was evidently taking a cold. He answered her and almost immediately afterward fell to the floor just as he reached the head of the stairs. The physician was summoned at once but it was found that Mr. Hutchinson's death had been almost instantaneous due to apoplexy.
Mrs. Hutchinson was absent at the time of her husband's death and she had to be notified by telephone at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.W. Jones of Oak Hill where she has been visiting since Thanksgiving. Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson went to Oak Hill at Thanksgiving time, Mr. Hutchinson returning the following Monday while Mrs. Hutchinson was remaining for a longer visit.
W.S. Hutchinson was 64 years of age. He was a native of Coshocton county, having been born in the Keene neighborhood and when but a small child the family moved to Coshocton where he made his home for the remainder of his life. For almost 40 years Mr. Hutchinson had been identified with the business life and public interests of the city of Coshocton. His passing will be felt in the church and the community at large as well as in the home circle.
As a public servant WS Hutchinson serve Coshocton well. For 25 years he was the most efficient member of the school board and at the time of his death was president of the body. His conservative, careful business methods together with his Progressive and energetic spirit made him an invaluable member of the board for several years. Mr. Hutchinson also served as a member of the Board of Public Service and for two terms he was a most effective member of the city council. In each and every position it could be truthfully said of him that he served the best interests of the people. The record of his life is an enviable one for both in his private business interests and in his public career, honesty and integrity were foremost characteristics. Mr. Hutchinson was a staunch member of the Presbyterian Church--one whose daily life was the evidence of a firm and abiding faith.
The widow, Mrs Mary Ricketts Hutchinson, and two daughters, Mrs E. W. Cresap of this city and M.rs. J Wesley Jones of Oak Hill and five grandchildren survive. One brother Charles Hutchinson of Coshocton and his sister Mrs. Anne Chambers of Council Bluffs, Ia also survive. Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 from the late home on South 6th Street, the Rev. William E. Hunt and the Rev. George A. Brewer officiating. Interment will be will take place in the Oak Ridge Cemetery. The following will act as pallbearers: J.W. Cassingham, C.B. Hunt, T. L. Montgomery, R. N. Barnes, Henry Richardson and T. H. Wheeler.
