[p. 802] dealer in feed, flour and coal, both wholesale and retail, at No. 31 North Beaver Street, New Castle, was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, in 1862.
When twelve years old the parents of Mr. Hutchinson moved to a farm in North Beaver Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and he enjoyed school advantages at Bessemer. When twenty-two years old he left the home farm and went to Park City, Summit County, Utah, where he engaged in mining for three years, at the end of that time feeling willing to return to his old home in Pulaski Township. He shortly afterward started into business at Nashua, Pulaski Township, becoming postmaster of the place, and for the next twenty years he carried on a very satisfactory business in buying and shipping hay and dealing in groceries. He purchased a steam hay press, and for a long period about controlled the hay pressing business in that locality. In 1903 he came to New Castle and engaged in his present business, in which he is assisted by his son, Harry L., and it has so expanded that he has found it necessary to build larger quarters, and is now constructing a fine pressed brick building, 32 by 70 feet in dimensions, with two stories and basement, at No. 31 North Beaver Street. He will occupy this commodious building as soon as completed, which will be in the near future.
In 1884 Mr. Hutchinson was married to Miss Olive Lockhart, of Pulaski Township, a daughter of Oliver Lockhart, and they have three surviving children, namely: Harry L., Mabel and Bernice. Mr. Hutchinson and family belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is a member of the order of Maccabees.
