Clyde was a twin to Claude and they were the last two children of seven born to Jesse Harbin and Harriet Emoline Stites Hutchinson on February 18, 1890 in Peru, Nebraska. Clyde had 3 older sisters, one dying at the age of 4. Neither he nor any of his brothers had any male children. His twin's daughter was Hollis. The Hutchinson name on this branch of the tree sadly ended with Clyde. Coincidentally, my father's branch ended with him, also.
1900 finds the family still in Peru, his father farming and his two older sisters, Floy and Edith are teachers. In 1910 Clyde and Claude are the only two still living at home. Their father is farming, but they are not shown with occupations at the age of 20 years. On April 2, 1918 Clyde enlisted in the United States Navy and served until honorably discharged March 3, 1919. His rank was Carpenters Mate 1st Class. He attended college before and after his military service and the 1940 Census of Casper, Wyoming lists him as a "lodger" and a teacher in a public school. His twin was also a teacher.
The following is one of two tributes to "Hutch" written by the late Glenn A Parker, a true friend, and avid broadhead collector:
"In July of 1987 I was privileged to meet Clyde Hutchinson and Karl Krusmark, two men whose lives are rich in archery history. Hutchinson, or "Hutch" as his friends call him, is a former Casper, Wyoming junior high school wood shop teacher. At 97 years of age, Hutch still works in his own wood shop. As a matter of fact, he was sawing a board out in his shop when I first met him! When Hutch was active in archery, he made high quality bows and arrows. He also chose to make his own broadheads. He used a Model-T clutch plate to fashion the main blade, and a thirty caliber bullet for the ferrule. The finished head looked much like the Case kiska.
Hutch enjoyed target shooting, and shot with Howard Hill in 1929 in Rye, New York. Hutch won his division, and Howard won his division. In 1930 Hutch won the Wyoming State Tournament Grand Championship Cup, and impressive trophy which he proudly showed me. He was also a successful bowhunter. Leon Goodrich was Hutch's neighbor and often his hunting partner. Hutch told me of an interesting hunt with Leon. Leon had borrowed Hutch's archer knife, a beautiful engraved knife Hutch had won as first prize in an archery tournament. Leon made a nick in the blade when he twisted it in a deer that he had killed. Hutch showed me the knife--and the nick. Hutch was kind enough to give me his last arrow with osage footing and "Model-T" broadhead. He also gave me one of Goodrich's old arrows, with Leon's gold leaf on the crest."
Clyde was a man who pursued his love of archery, broadhead, bow, and arrow creations with the world.
I have created this memorial to honor my 2nd cousin, twice removed. Anyone with more information, please let me know.
