Obituary from the Dayton Chronicle, Dayton Washington, Jan. 6, 1906:
"Death of Myrtle Hutcheon"
"Early in November, Miss Hutcheon was stricken with an ailment which baffled the skill of the physician. In spite of the efforts put forth in her behalf, she steadily declined, and passed away Sunday, December 31, after an illness of about ten weeks. Miss Hutcheon was born in Dayton and the twenty-three years which made up the brief span of her life were passed in this city; she receiving her education in the public schools of this place. She taught several terms in the schools of the county, with such satisfactory results, that she was given a position in the city schools, thus crowning with success, a short life of worthy aims. The funeral services occurred Tuesday, from the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Hutcheon, and were conducted by Rev. J.D. Jones of the congregational church. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, notable among which was an exquisite piece of roses and carnations, "The Gates Ajar," which was the contribution of the teachers. Miss Hutcheon was gifted in mind and amiable in disposition, and leaves a wide circle of relatives and friends to mourn her untimely death."
