"James G. Hutcheon"
"James G. Hutcheon, 70, died at the Brining hospital Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock following a long period of failing health. Funeral services were held from the Rogg & Watson chapel Friday morning at 11 o'clock, with the Rev. J. Logan Peringer of the Congregational church officiating, and burial was, made at the family plot in the Dayton cemetary. Pall bearers were William Rennewanz, E. S. Ryerson, J. L. Wallace, Geo. W. Jackson, W. A. Frary and C. J. Broughton. The beautiful flowers that surrounded the casket included the triple link emblem of his fraternal order done in pink and white carnations and a spray of roses from those he had planted at the Brining hospital and cared for through many years, which had been arranged by members of the hospital staff."
"James Gall Hutcheon was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin May 1, 1876. He came here in 1880 with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. George Hutcheon, and has since made this his home. He was always a great lover of flowers, particularly roses, so naturally took up gardening as his occupation. He followed this until his health failed, but after his retirement, he continued to look after the roses on the hospital grounds in which he took a personal interest. These roses have not only graced the hospital lawn for many years, but have brought cheer to many sick rooms, as the blossoms have always been freely cut for the benefit of patients."
"He had a great appreciation of fine literature and was a wide reader. He had long been a member of the Odd Fellow lodge, and although he had not recently participated in the activities of the order, he had continued his membership."
"He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Anne H. Honeyman of Portland, and two nephews, Walter and John Larner of Wenatchee. Two sisters, Mrs. Millie Larner of Wenatchee, and Miss Myrtle Hutcheon of Dayton, preceded him in death, and a brother, William who died in infancy before the family left Wisconsin."
James never married.
