GEORGE S. HUTTON, a druggist of Hartley, was born in Lapeer County, September
27, 1861, and is the only son in a family of seven children, all but one of whom
are still living, namely: Lucy E., wife of S. D. Hemingway, of Hadley Township;
Nancy R., wife of Theodore E. Lambertson, of Hadley; our subject; Leah G., Mrs.
Kirk White, of Lapeer; Katie, who died in childhood; Mary E. and Millie.

  The parents of this household, Robert S. and Climena (Palmerlee) Hutton, were
natives of Scotland and New York respectively. The father was born at Kinross,
Scotland, in September, 1830, and came to America with his parents when a child,
and with them became an early settler in Genesee County. He was an active member
of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Hadley for many years, during his residence
here prior to 1884, at which time he removed to Lapeer. He followed
merchandising most of his life, and in the spring of 1869 he established a store
in Hadley, which he carried on until the fall of 1881, and in 1884 Robert S.
Hutton was elected Registrar of Deeds, an office which he held until June, 1886
when he fell dead in his office, while discharging his duties. His wife still
survives, and makes her home in Hadley. Our subject bought the store which he is
now carrying on from Mr. Charles Moorland in May, 1891, it being the only one of
the kind in the town. He carried drugs, groceries, paints and oils, school-books
and stationery.

  The marriage of George S. Hutton and Millie, daughter of George Davenport,
took place June 24, 1885, and unto this union were born two children, Beulah and
Robert S. Mrs. Hutton died in December, 1888, and in March, 1891, our subject
took as his wife Miss Carrie S., daughter of Charles Turner. The political
convictions of Mr. Hutton bring him into line with the Republican party, and he
is looked upon as one of the most intelligent men of his way of thinking in his
township. He was appointed to fill the unexpired term as Registrar of Deeds in
the place of his father at the time of that parent's sudden death, and was
subsequently elected to this same office for two terms in succession. Since
coming to Hadley he has been made a member of the School Board, and was
appointed Township Treasurer, September 5, 1891, to fill the unexpired term of
F. C. Mueller. He is a stanch and active member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and is one of the village Trustees.
