Adoniram Judson Hutchinson
Soldier/Citizen VA/WV
The Raleigh Herald of Beckley, WV, reported the passing of Confederate veteran Adoniram Judson Hutchinson on page 3, its obituary page of 2 August 1912.
Last Sunday afternoon at four o’clock Judson Hutchinson, after having reached a ripe old age of 76 years, was summoned to answer the death call and his spirit went to the God who gave it. Mr. Hutchinson had been in feeble health for some time but not until recently was his condition considered critical but for the past several days his life had been despaired of.
Mr. Hutchinson was a native of Raleigh county and was the progeny of Charles H and Elizabeth Hutchinson, and was one of fourteen children from the above marriage, all of whom lived to exceed their three score and ten years. Extensive relationship naturally followed such a large offspring and at the time of his death but few persons in the county had as many near and distant relations, most of whom are residing in the county, as did Mr. Hutchinson. Mr. Hutchinson was a member of Robert E Lee Camp, United Confederate Veterans….
The remains of this estimable man were laid beside that of his wife in the J W Gray old graveyard, Rev W W West, of the Baptist church, conducting the services. A large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends were present at the obsequies attesting to the high esteem in which he was held. The Messenger joins their large circle of friends in extending sympathy in this sad hour.[1]
