| Text | Isaac Chester Hutchens was born March 19, 1858 near the little Quaker village of New Providence in Hardin County, Iowa and died at his home in Pioneer May 1, 1929 very suddenly of heart failure at the age of 71 years, 1 month and 14 days. When about eight years of age he moved with his parents from Iowa to Kansas and a little later to Missouri where he spent the remainder of his life. He had a birth right membership in the Society of Friends, commonly known as “Quakers” and lived all his life a firm believer in that faith. Having never been married he and his sister, Effie, had kept house together ever since their aged mother died in 1910. He had always been rather frail and weakly of body, yet his mind was active and strong to the last when he suddenly slid from his chair by the stove and lay on the floor dead. He leaves to mourn his departure one brother, J. F. Hutchens of Pioneer, two sisters, Mrs. J. M. Black of Cassville, Mo., and Miss Effie Hutchens of Pioneer, and a large number of relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon at the Mt. Olive church by Rev. E. W. Love of Joplin and burial made in the cemetery at that place under the direction of J. H. White Undertaking. |
