Her chief interest was in her family and in her home. She was always ready to share home and comforts with those in need. She was of a cheerful disposition and endured with great patience the long illness which finally resulted in her death.
She leaves to mourn her departure, her husband Jesse S. Hutton, one son Guy W. Hutton, three daughters, Mrs. Mary E. Gregg, Mrs. Margaret E. Byrd, and Mrs. Manda E. Holste, and twelve grandchildren, all of Egan. She also leaves two brothers, Frank T. Farnsworth of Portland, Ore., and Owen D. Farnsworth of Bertha, Minn., and friends everywhere.
