The Ionia Standard, Friday, January 27, 1911
Prof. Charles A. Hutchins, notice of whose death at Beloit, Wis., was made in 
these columns on Saturday, was the first superintendent of the Ionia High 
school, assuming that position away back in 1866, when the old frame building 
on North First street which afterward served so long as City hall was vacated 
as the city’s public school, and the High school established on Union hill.

There are many still living within the environs of Ionia who will recall their 
association with this good man with pleasant memories.   Prof. Hutchins might 
be best described as a full grown man.  Strong in his convictions, pure in his 
life, lovable of disposition, earnest of purpose, profound in his learning, 
sincere and loyal in his Christian manhood, he was a man who appealed to other 
men, one who commanded respond and admiration.  His friendship was a thing to 
be highly prized, and even to the last he remained a companion who was an 
inspiration.  He was a faithful member of the Baptist church, and had been 
prominent in the denomination many years.

Hew was the younger brother of John B. and Phineas Hutchins, also former 
residents of Ionia.  Deceased was aged 83 years.  His wife died in September 
1900.
