Illness Fatal for
R. B. Hutchins, Pioneer
Davis Merchant
After an illness of several weeks, R. B. Hutchins, pioneer furniture dealer of Davis, passed away at his home in this city at 12:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 16, 1937, death being due to uraemic poisoning.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church at 5 p.m. Tuesday, which were attended by a large concourse of friends, many coming from other cities. As a mark of respect, stores in Davis were closed during the service.
Rev. T. B. Talley, pastor, was assisted in the service by Rev. C. R. McClelland, Baptist pastor, and Rev. J. S. Ferguson, pioneer preacher. Vocal numbers were rendered by Mrs. N. L. Hale and Mrs. Wyatt Pierce.
Pall bearers were Wyatt Pierce, J. D. Witt, Pal Johnson, R. C. Ticer, Ross McNeill and Howard Scruggs. Interment was in Green Hill cemetery, Davis, with Frier Funeral Home of Sulphur in charge.
Masons of Davis and nearby cities joined in holding fraternal service at the grave, with J. B. Denton of Dougherty leading.
Richard Bawden Hutchins was born at Charles, Devonshire, England, May 17, 1860, where he spent his early life. He came to the United States at the age of 21 years, after serving an apprenticeship to a cabinet maker in England. For several years he worked in a carriage factory for his brother, Joe Hutchins, in Middlebury, Indiana. Later he had charge of the carpet department in a store at Arkansas City, Kan., and Oklahoma City.
In July 1904, he bought the Chas. Garrison furniture and undertaking business in Davis, in which he remained active until his last illness, holding embalmer's license No. 21 in this state. He was a member of the Episcopal church in England and later joined the Unitarian church in Oklahoma City.
Mrs. Hutchins was married to Miss Minnie Laura Cox in Arkansas City, New Year's eve, 1895. Of this union seven children were born, three girls and four boys, all of whom were present at his bedside and funeral.
Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Minnie Hutchins; three daughters, Miss Thamazin Hutchins, Stillwater; Mrs. T. Jack Foster, Norman; Mrs. Hershel Pettett, Oklahoma City; four sons, Alfred W., Joseph W., George R. and R. B. Jr., all of Davis; and one brother, Chas. Hutchins, long time Davis banker; one sister, Mrs. Maria Stone, Davis; and four grandchildren, Laura Mae Hutchins, Davis, and Jack, Bobbie and Dick Foster, Norman.
The death of Mr. Hutchins, "Uncle Dick" as he was familiarly called, brought genuine sorrow and regret to his many friends in this community. Having lived here for a third of a century, his many admirable traits of character were well known and recognized. His fairness, honesty and congenial disposition brought him hosts of admires. In his death Davis has lost another valuable and greatly beloved citizen.
Out-of-town relatives here for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Cox, Stanley Cox and Earl Cox, all of Gracemont, Okla.; Mrs. Rose Campbell, Pittsburg, Kan.; Mr. and Mrs. Sam Ambrister, Norman; Mr. and Mrs. C W. Hutchins and daughter, Myra Lucille, Marlow; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ley, Pampa, Texas; Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Hawkins, Devol, Okla.; Mrs. Pearl Pendergraft, Roy, Esther and Pauline Pendergraft, Grandfield, Okla.
