ANOTHER Old REsiDENrER GoNE TO REsf.
On Sunday evening last, while on the
way TO attend divine services at the Presby-
teTian church, Mr.. Samuel b. Hutchinson,
an old and much respected citizen, was
stricken down with apoplexy, was taken
home insenslble, and died the following
evening at $50 o'clock. Mr. Hutchinson
was born in Lower Mount Bethel North
ampton county, January II, 1905, and was,
therefore, aged "a years, months and 10
days. At an early period, while the present
territory of Carbon was part of Northomp-
ton county, he came to Mauch Chunk and
allied his labors with the early development
OF the anthracite coal interest. Fora num-
Der of years he was paymaster for the Le-
high Coal and Navigation Co., the duties Of
which office he filled with much ability,
winning a reputation for punctuality and
integrity. He resigned the position some
years ago, on account Of failing mental fac
ulties and a threatening of the disease which
terminated his life. During those years he
reared family Of children, who are mar
RED and settled in different sections of the
country, one of whom, Mr.. James Belford
resides in Mauch Chunk, with whom, since
the death of his wife about i've years ago,
he made his home. Perhaps no man had
fewer enemies and more friends than Mr..
Hutchinson. An honest friend to all, his
social geuiality made friends of all. Since
the war he has had occasion to remain for
a time in the State of Virginia, and also in
the West. Ills sympathies were very
warmly elected for the freedmen, and also
for that fast declining and much prosecuted
tired of presenting their claim for sympathy
to the attention of his friends. OF late,
much impaired by age, but full of warm.
hearted sociability, it was a delightful habit
with him to make short afternoon calls
among his friends and neighbors, and es-
pecally among those who happened to be
sick or in sorrow; and he was always a
welcome visitor, bringing with him halo
of sunshine and hope. His life was one
of usefulness, and he lived more years than
are allotted to man; he leaves behind what
Solomon tells us is more to be desired
than great rches-a good name. 1t was
his intention to accompany his daughter
to California Jn Tuesday, she being here on
a visit. HIS funeral was solemnlzed on
Wednesday, and his body was laid to resi-
in the cemetery on the hill, where sleel
many of his associates ana co-laborers o.
years past.
