JOSEPH T. HUTCHISON.
Joseph T. Hutchison, proprietor of a Beavercreek
township farm on rural mail route No. 3 out of Xenia, is a
native son of Greene county, and has lived here all his
life, occupant of the farm on which he now lives since 1896.
He was born on a farm in Xenia township on May 20, 1871, son
of Joseph Andrew and Isabella (Harner) Hutchison,
both of whom also were born in this county and the latter of
whom is still living, now a resident of the city of Xenia.
Joseph Andrew Hutchison, who was a veteran of
the Civil War, was born on a farm in Miami township, not far
from the border of Xenia township, Mar. 12, 1837, son of
John B. and Ann (Tenbrook) Hutchison, who had come to
this county from Chester county, Pennsylvania, where both
were born, and whose last days were spent here.
Joseph B. Hutchison was born in 1802 and grew up in
Chester county, Pennsylvania, remaining there until after
his marriage, when, in 1826, he came to Greene county, he
and his wife driving through a small covered wagon with
their belongings, and settled on a plat of ground now owned
by Frank Corry on the Clinton pike in Miami township.
He was a blacksmith by trade and for a while after coming
here followed that trade, but presently bought a farm on the
Clifton pike in Xenia township, where he remained until his
retirement, when he moved to Yellow Springs, where he spent
the rest of his life, his death occurring on Oct. 29, 1877.
He and his wife were the parents of thirteen children, of
whom eleven grew to maturity, namely: Eleanor, who
became the wife of J. G. G. Adams, of Miami township;
John K., who married Catherine Townsley
and moved to Garnet, Kansas; Nancy T., who married
Isaac Shearer and moved to Indiana; Elizabeth
M., who married Frederick Shoemaker, of
Goes Station; Sarah Ann, who died unmarried in
1897; Joseph A., father of the subject of this
sketch; Margaret, who married James M. Stevenson
and moved to Kansas; Mary Jane, who married Frank
Crapp and moved to Indiana; Matthew, who
married Ella Gossett and is now living at
Xenia; William H., who married Jennie Bull
and established his home in Xenia township, and James
Elder, who married Hester P. Baker and
established his home at Yellow Springs, where his last days
were spent.
Reared on the home farm, Joseph Andrew Hutchison
remained there until the outbreak of the Civil War, when he
entered the service of the Union and for three years and
nine months served as a soldier, being mustered out as a
member of Company L, Third New York Cavalry. Upon the
completion of his military service Mr. Hutchison
returned home and after his marriage went to Sedalia,
Missouri, where he remained for three years, at the end of
which time he returned to Greene county and bought a farm of
one hundred and twelve acres across the pike from his
father's place in Xenia township, where he remained until
1880, in which year he sold that farm and bought a farm of
one hundred and eighty eight acres in Beavercreek township,
where he spent the rest of his life, his death occurring
there on July 29, 1901. His widow is now living at
Xenia. She was born in Xenia township, this county.
May 16. 1848, daughter of Charles and Mary (Morgan)
Harner, further mention of whom is made elsewhere in
this volume. Mrs. Hutchison is a member
nf the Presbyterian church, as was her husband, he having
been an elder in the church. By political persuasion
he was a Republican, but was not an office seeker. To
Joseph Andrew and Isabella (Harner) Hutchison
were born seven children, of whom the subject of this sketch
was the second in order of birth, the others being the
following: Charles H., born on Dec. 29, 1868, who
married Alice Dilts and lives on a farm in the
vicinity of Logansport, Indiana; Frank R., who
married Margaret Phillips and is engaged in
the hardware business at Xenia; Leigh A., born on
Feb. 1, 1877, who married Jennie Moore and is
living on a farm on the Bellbrook pike in Spring Valley
township; Ralph W., Sept. 23, 1880, who married
Anna Fierstein and lives in Xenia township;
Carrie, Mar. 4, 1884, who is now (1918) attending the
College of Osteopathy at Kirksville, Missouri, and Dr.
Elder Hutchison, a graduate of Johns Hopkins
University, who married Ann Kincade and who
upon the declaration of war against Germany in 1917
volunteered his services in the National Army and was
stationed at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky, preparatory
to service abroad.
Joseph T. Hutchison grew up on the home farm and
supplemented his schooling in the local schools by taking a
commercial course in Antioch College. After leaving
college he rented a farm and began farming on his own
account. Three years later he married and a year afterward
bought the old Smith place of ninety-five
acres in Beavercreek township, and has ever since made his
home there. Since taking possession of that place
Mr. Hutchison has erected a new set of buildings,
his residence having been built in 1914.
On Apr. 25, 1895, Joseph T. Hutchison was united
in marriage to Carrie Andrew, who was born in
Beavercreek township and who is the adopted daughter of
Samuel G. and Keziah Andrew, who reared her from
childhood, and to this union have been born three children,
Samuel Andrew, born on' Aug. 20, 1899; Lois
Belle, May 31, 1901, and Joseph Ersle,
May 21, 1903, all of whom are now students in the
Xenia high school. The Hutchisons are members
of the Second United Presbyterian church at Xenia.
Mr. Hutchison is a Republican.
