| Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, September 2, 1914, page 4, column 3 Lonely Cabin Death Comes To Miner (From Thursday's Daily) He had lived for very many years in his cabin on Groom creek, so did John Hutchins pass away - alone, and without a friend or relative at his side, when the summons came, probably on Tuesday. The body was found yesterday afternoon by a miner, sitting in a chair partly dressed, with his features indicating heart trouble was the cause. For many years the deceased had never failed to call at the postoffice for his mail, on stated days, and his absence yesterday occasioned a visit to be made to his cabin, at the Monte Cristo camp, when the discovery was made. In many ways Hutchinson (sic Hutchins) was a remarkable man. His extreme age of over 88 years showed that he retained the physical vigor of a youth, and only a short time ago he mad the trip of eight miles to Prescott on foot, and returned in the same manner during the day. He was the owner of mines, and many years ago sold the Chicago group for quite a sum. Later he developed properties, but without remuneration. He is survived by widow who has resided for the past twenty years at Danielson, Connecticut, and a son, H. H. Hutchins, of Monrovia, California. Judge McLane held an inquest, and natural causes in the verdict of the coroner's jury accounted for his death. The body was brought to Prescott and is at Ruffner's. Transcriber's note: Mr. Hutchins is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. |
