The San Francisco Post of last evening
says OF General c. l. Hutchinson, who died
in that city of diabetes, causing py1mla,
Monday, that he was born in Gilead, Conn,
December 9, 1915. He resided four years
in Camden county Georgia leaving there
he went to Southport, Wis, where he re-
manned nine wears, being engaged in mer-
chandising. lie built the first pier eX-
tending out into Lake Michigan; also
built two large, first-class vessels and a
steam Touring mill. In 1913, in WiscOn-
sin, he was appointed delegate to the Ma
tional Convention that nominated Zachary
TAYLOR for President. After Taylor's cleo
ton he was made Marshal for the district
of Wisconsin In 1850 he came overland
wilh a party of fifteen, taking III days to
travel from Council Bluffs to Sacramento, a
journey now made in four days. One Incl
dent of the trip was that the party hlied
their India-rubber beds with water and
carried them on the backs Of their ami
mails. On arriving at Sacramento they
camped near the corne- of + and Eleventh
streets General Hutchinson Immediately
put up a building on J street, the upper
part being the National Hotel and the
lower part a store, occupied by Hutchinson,
Green &, Co. In 1850 the cholera ragged
dreadfuly in Sacramento, and DIR.
Green was one of its victims. After
its subsistence, General Hutchinson
was active in promoting the build
ing of water works, and was elected
to the City Council from the Third Ward,
and was made Chairman of the Finance
Committee. The following year he was
elected Mayor of the city. On November
>, 1852, the big fire broke out in Sacra-
mento. which laid waste nearly all the
business quarter of the city. Fortunately
for him, General HutchinsonS house was
spared. and he at once kept open house
therein for ali in distress. After this came
freshets and the flood, but all were sur
vived. and an immense business afterwards
was the consequence. In 1914 General
Hutchinson married Catharine L. Hatch,
daughter of the late Rev W. T. Hatch.
Two sons and three daughters are the
fruits Of this union. In commercial cir
clcS throughout the State the name of Gen
eral Hutchinson has ever been 4 synonym
for integrity, zeal and public spirit. As a
pioneer he has impressed his name upon
the public history Of both Sacramento and
san Francisco. 1t was Il popularity of his
ancestors that every son was given a Bible
name. twelve sons in turn being thus
christened. The biography of Champion
Israel Hutchinson forms a most important
part of the chronicles of CALIFORNIA; his
