The following biography is from the 1893 History of Lafayette and Saline Counties.
WILLIAM M. HUTCHERSON. Conspicuous among the sons of the Old Dominion who came to Saline County at an early date, and did their part toward the advancement of its interests, may be mentioned the name of the gen-tleman of whom we write, and who now, his busy life ended, has passed to his final reward.
Mr. Hutcherson was born in Culpeper County, Va., and came to this State and county in 1855. He worked at his trade, that of a carpenter, until the year 1869, and then married the widow of Capt. Ed Brown, who resided near Fairville. Mrs. Hutcherson bore the maiden name of Willis, and traced her ancestry to England. Two brothers, William A. and Robert H. Willis, came to this county in the fall of 1857 and 1859, respectively.
Robert served as Sheriff of Saline County for two terms, and William entered the ranks of the Con-federate array in 1861, and was killed in the battle of Boonville during the same year.
Mr. and Mrs. Hutcherson had a family of four children: Edwin M., Lelia, Lester W., and Garnett R. The mother died in 1889. She united in her character the virtues of her Virginian ancestors, and possessed to an unusual degree their graces of disposition, which win and retain friends. Her grandfather, Benjamin F. Willis, was a native of Virginia, and was a son of Capt. Isaac Willis, who served as Captain in the War of 1812.
