ANOTHER OLD SETTLER GONE.
From the Rockdale Messenger Sept 14
Last Friday morning. Septem¬ber 7, 1894 when Mrs. Scott called her father. B. M. Hutcherson, to get up to breakfast, he failed to answer and she went to his bedside to awake him and found him wrap¬ped in the arms of death. Mrs. Hutcherson was in town at her son's on a visit and no one was at home but the old Captain, his daughter Sallie Scott, and a little grand son. During the night Mrs. Scott heard her father singing a favorite song in his sleep as lie often did, but thought nothing of it. as it was not .in uncommon thing. She arose as she was accustomed to do. and got breakfast before it was good daylight, and was terribly shocked and grieved when she went to awake her old father and found him cold in death. Captain B. M. Hutcherson settled where he died two miles northwest of town, over 42 years ago. and had lived there ever since. He was a kind hearted and affectionate husband and father, jovial, good natured comrade in both the Mex¬ican and Confederate wars, and as a citizen the soul of honor, and as a neighbor was so obliging that if he had an enemy no one knew it. Not craving or ambitions, but kind hearted and obliging. His death was caused from heart failure. Peace to his ashes. We join with his, family and neighbors in mourn¬ing the loss of a good man. Captain Hutcherson was 77 years old.
(Mexican War – Corpl Co. B. 4 Regt Kentucky Inf) (Civil War- 1 lieut Co E. 4th Reg Cavalry, Texas State Troops)(Benjamin M. Hutcherson married Eliza Ann Hazel Saddler the widow of Pleasant Saddler)
