MARK HUTCHINS

New Portland, Mar. 9 -- Mark Hutchins died at his home in New Portland this morning, following an illness of about one week of pneumonia, aged 77 years.

He was born in New Portland, Dec. 21, 1845, and when eight years of age moved to the farm where he passed his life. He was the son of Eli and Irene Knapp Hutchins, one of a family of 11 children who grew to manhood and womanhood, and a descendant of the first settler of New Portland, David Hutchins, and the fourth generation from this pioneer.

He received his early education at the school on New Portland hill, attended the Maine Central Institute at Pittsfield, Farmington Academy, and normal school and was a student there at the time the academy was changed over to the Farmington State normal school. After this, he taught for a number of years and was in Minnesota for a year teaching school and working, then came back to the home farm to live with his father. He was married in 1879 to Emma L. Day of Starks who survives.

To Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins were born four children, Rev. Melvin S. Hutchins, pastor of the Congregational church of Phillips, Lucy N. Hutchins at home, Forrest J. Hutchins of Bridgton, and Thurston H. Hutchins, who with his family resides at home, all of whom are living. There are also five grandchildren and one brother Christopher Hutchins of Oklahoma, and one sisters, Mrs. Rena Burns of East New Portland.
