HUTCHINSON, FRANCIS
(18 Mar 1926, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Francis Hutchinson was born in Calwell county, Mo., September 17, 1884,
and died March 10, 1926, at the age of 42 years, 5 months and 21 days.  He
was married to Miss Hessie Wheeler May 11, 1912.  To this union was born
one boy, Francis, Jr., who passed to his reward last year at about the age
of six months.
He was converted at the age of 20 and united with the M. E. Church in
Kansas.  Frank was a man that did not make a display of something that he
was not, he felt that he had not been living a christian life and asked
the prayer of the christian people.
He was taken ill very suddenly and carried to the hospital where
everything that medical aid and loving hands could do but to no avail and
after placing his trust anew in Him who said "return unto me ye back
sliding children and I will heal your backslidings" the halo of glory once
more beamed on his face and he said to the writer who stood by his
bedside, I have nothing to fear "yea tho I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death I fear no evil for Thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me."
He leaves to mourn his loss, a wife, father, sister and numerous other
relatives and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held in the school auditorium at Canute as the room
at the Church house was inadequate to accommodate the large crowd. 
Services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Newman with Grubitz and son in
charge.  His remains were laid to rest by the side of his little son,
Frank, J., in the Canute cemetery to await the resurrection morning.
