The Lake Odessa Wave-Times, 1916
Godfrey Hess Hutchins, the oldest son of Lawson and Tresea Hutchins, was born February 9, 1840, in Seneca county, New York, and died at his home in Lake Odessa, Mich., August 12, 1916, aged 76 years, 6 months, three days.
His father died when he was seven years old, after which he went to live with his uncle William Harsick in Lenawee county, Mich., where he grew to manhood and where he was married December 17, 1865 to Hannah P. Pearson.
They then removed to Odessa township, Ionia county, where he had bought a farm in the then almost unbroken wilderness, where they toiled together and cleared up their farm of 120 acres on which they lived until 14 years ago. They sold the farm and moved to their home in the village where they continued to live until the death of his wife December 22, 1910.
December 18, 1911 he was married to Mrs. Esther Baldwin, who still survives him, together with one half-brother, Thos. Swarthout, and numerous other relatives. He had one son who died in early infancy.
Shortly after coming to Odessa he was converted and joined the M. E. church of Woodland, there being none nearer, and he and his wife were members there until the church was organized at Bonanza, when they became charter members and to which they remained loyal and faithful members ever ready to do all in their power for the advancement of the Redeemer's Kingdom and the church they loved, giving liberally both of time and money and always found in attendance when health permitted, until the Master said: "It is enough; come up higher."
