  ADAM S. HUTCHINSON, one of Lawrence Township's best known citizens is 
proprietor of the O'Shanter Hotel, at O'Shanter, Pa.  He was born at Blossburg, 
Tioga County, Pa., September 29, 1866, and is a son of James and Annie (Sampson) 
Hutchinson, both of whom are deceased.
  Adam S. Hutchinson attended the public schools of Arnot, in Tioga County, and 
then went to work in the mines at Houtzdale, in Clearfield County, and continued 
to reside at Houtzdale for six years following his marriage, during this time 
being general manager in a business house of the place.  He then came to 
O'Shanter and for three years rented the O'Shanter Hotel, which was then 
operated by John Kramer.  He then bought the property and has been sole owner 
for eleven years.  It is a well arranged public house, with twenty-one rooms and 
seventeen of these are comfortable bed-rooms.  He has a county license and has 
the reputation of keeping one of the most orderly and well regulated hotels in 
this section.  His charges are exceedingly moderate, not exceeding $1.40 per 
day.  In connection with his hotel he also conducts a livery stable, having six 
horses and also an automobile.  Travelers who have once enjoyed the comforts 
afforded by the O'Shanter Hotel under its present management, are very apt to so 
arrange their connections that they can make a second visit.
  In 1889, Mr. Hutchinson was married at Reynoldsville, Pa., to Miss Nettie 
Patterson, a daughter of James and Jennetta Patterson, of that place, and twelve 
children have been born to them, namely:  James, Anna, Jessie, Florence, Edith, 
Gordon, Nettie, Mary, Margaret, Ethel, Laura and Adam Jr.  The only deaths in 
the family were those of the eldest son, who died at the age of seventeen years, 
and Ethel, who died in infancy.  Mr. Hutchinson is identified with a number of 
fraternal organizations and among these are the following:  Knights of Pythias, 
at Houtzdale; Golden Eagles at Glen Richey; Red Men, of Curwensville; and P. O. 
S. of A., and Royal Order of Moose, at Clearfield.  In politics he is a 
Republican and formerly was a very active party man in his section and served 
several times as chairman of the Republican township committee.
