He was appointed a member of the County Council by Judge Rabb and was afterwards elected to the honor position of County Commissioner where he served with distinction and credit to the best interest of the business affairs of his company, up to the time of his death and was returning home from his official work as Commissionerwhen the very unfortunate accident occurred that so quickly ended his mortal life. Commiss Hutts was a very successful financier and business man. He had accumulated for a comfortable living an downed a fine farm of quite a number of rich and fertile acres, and well stocked with horses, cattle, hogs, etc. His funeral was one among the largest ever witnessed in the county. His tragic and sudden death brought many people together to sympathize. Rev. JT Phillips, his pastor was expected to offic at his fun but owing to the condition of the remains the time of interment had to be shortened and the fun. to occur before he could arrive. Rev. John McHargue was asked to admin the last sad rites which he did most acceptably and fervently. The community, the fraternities the church and his family have met with a loss that can not be replaced. The dec. leaves a step mother, 3 bros, and four sis, and also a vacant place in the loving hearts of many fellow citizens. Respectably in behalf of his family. JT Phillips, his pastor
