JOSEPH HUTCHISON was born in Scotland in 1828. When fourteen years old he
started out for himself, and came to the United States, stopping in Jo Davis
county, Illinois, till 1850, where he was engaged in lead-mining. At that time
he came across the plains, arriving in El Dorado county in August. Shortly
afterward he mined at Mokelumne hill. In 1851 he went back to Illinois, but in
1853 returned to California. After mining six months at Johnstown, he removed to
Weaverville, Trinity county, and remained four years at mining. He then went to
Tehama county, engaged in stock-raising till 1862, when he came to Sierra
county, located at Sierra City, and, in company with S. N. Wilcox, built a
hotel, which they ran till 1866, when Mr. Hutchison sold out, and followed the
live-stock business till 1874, at which time he bought into a meat market with
I. T. Mooney. In 1880 they dissolved partnership, and Mr. Hutchison opened the
market he now owns. He was married in 1852 to Miss M. M. Goldthrop of Illinois,
by whom he has had two children.
