Unexpected Demise.
Rober Hutton, an Old and Rightly Respected Citizen, Is Suddenly Taken Ill, and 
Dies.
The startling intelligence of the death of Robert Hutton, whose home is about 
two miles southeast of town, was circulated here Sunday morning. Numerous 
theories of the immediate cause of his death are given, but the facts, so far 
as they are known, are as follows:
Mr. Hutton had been ailing for several months past with disease of the 
kidneys, though it was not considered of a serious nature. Sunday morning he 
ate breakfast with his family, as usual. Shortly afterward he went to his bed 
room and laid down. His wife soon entered the room and found him suffering 
intensely. She endeavored to give him some medicine that had been prescribed, 
but failed, and in a few moments life had left his body. The distressing news 
was telegraphed to relatives, and the deceased's brothers, Peter and David 
Hutton, and his daughter, Mrs. John Milne, all of Minnesota, arrived Tuesday. 
The funeral services were conducted from the home of the family Thursday 
forenoon. Rev. Maddock officiating. A large concourse of friends attended the 
service.
Robert Hutton was born in Scotland in 1831, being sixty-two years of age at 
the time of his death. He came to Canada in 1864, and removed to Fillimore, 
Minnesota county, Minnesota, in 1855 (sic), where he resided until 1886, when 
he came to McHenry county, which has since been his home. He took up land and 
engaged in farming on a comparitively large scale. He cultivated a desire for 
the acquirement of land which amounted to almost a mania, and it is quite 
possible that the cares of business in some degree hastened his death. He 
leaves a wife and family of four daughters, two of whom are married, and five 
sons. Mr. Hutton lead an honorable, upright life, dealt conscientiously with 
his fellows, and was generally respectd. The sympathy of friends is extended 
the family in their affliction.
