"Honored Citizen Dies Suddenly; J. M. Hutchison Who Spent His Entire Life Here, Dies at the Age of 84 Years"
Waverly lost from its midst, an old and honored citizen, one who not only spent his entire life here, but more than the life of the town itself, as he was born in 1830 on a farm just south of the present location of Waverly. Mr. Hutchison's death came suddenly, following a few hours of illness. Tragically, the seriousness of his illness wasn't realized until the end came.
Though having slight pains in the chest for two or three days little was thought of it, and Wednesday morning, Mr. Hutchison in company with Dr. Hughes, Edwin Batty and A. W. Reagel went to Dr. Hughes' orchard west of town. He became sick while there and was brought back to town, reaching home shortly before noon. He was unable to lie down owing to difficulty of breathing but did not seem to be sick while sitting or walking around the house except for the pain in his chest. He ate a very hearty dinner considering his condition and again attempted to lie down but had to get up in order to get his breath. About four o'clock his symptoms grew worse. He became unconscious and died about 4:30 PM.
John Miller Hutchison, son of James and Elethia (Campbell) Hutchison, was born in Waverly, Illinois, on December 3rd, 1830 and died at his home on October 6th, 1915 at the age of 84 years, 9 months, and 3 days.
He was one of a family of eight children: two sisters - Mary Ann (Hutchison) Meacham and Margaret J (Hutchison) McVey, and three brothers – William A, Joseph A, and James B Hutchison.
John Miller Hutchison was converted at the age of seventeen years and joined the First M. E. church in this city and was a member at the time of his death. He was an active member of the church and was ever present at Sunday School, prayer meetings, eventually becoming a Preacher giving sermons, both morning and evening. John Miller Hutchison was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Masonic Lodge.
Mr. Hutchison was united in marriage to Mary Seymour of Franklin, December 28, 1849. She departed this life November 30, 1911. To this union were born seven children.
