MARTIN B. HUTCHISON.

  Martin Bell Hutchison, a native of Hollidaysburg, died recently at 
St. Joseph's hospital, Ottumwa, Iowa, where he had lived for a number 
of years. Last Friday morning he was operated upon for appendicitis and 
peritonitis developed, which caused his death.  Mr. Hutchison was one 
of the most active business men of Ottumwa; he was thoroughly public 
spirited and deserved much credit for the showing of the second and 
third Liberty loan campaigns.  Mr. Hutchison's name has been prominent 
for years in banking and lumbering circles.  He was born in 
Hollidaysburg, January 5, 1860, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph 
Hutchison, and one of eight children, five of whom still survive.
  Mr. Hutchison was a member of the Presbyterian church, where he had 
been a trustee for a quarter of a century.  He was married on April 25, 
1888, to Miss Inez B. Jordan.  Mr. Hutchison is survived by his wife, 
two daughters, Mrs. Laurence Morrissey, of Davenport; Mrs. Robert 
McWaid, and by four sisters and one brother, as follows: Mrs. Mary 
Norton, Mrs. Margaret Alexander, Martha Hutchison and James Hutchison, 
all of Hollidaysburg, and Mrs. Nettie Wilson, of Shenandoah.
