Thomas Berney Hutton and Henrietta Young

Thomas B. Hutton
January 15, 1849 - 1892

Spouse: Henrietta Young

Marriage: February 14, 1889, Utica NY

Parents: William Hutton and Maria Berney

From the Brockville Recorder, Thurs., March 10, 1892:
THE LATE THOS. HUTTON [brother of Henry]

“Concerning the recent death at Buffalo Wyoming Territory, of Mr. Thos. B. Hutton, the Echo of that town says: “Thomas Berney Hutton was born near Smith’s Falls, county of Grenville, Ontario, Canada, on the 15th of January, 1849, and subsequently resided in Brockville, Canada from whence he came to Wyoming in 1883, and took up his residence in Buffalo. Mr. Hutton was an architect and builder, the county court house, the district school building, the First National Bank building and a number of dwellings of the town standing as monuments to his skill as a draughtsman and his ability as a workman of the highest degree of proficiency. On February 14, 1889, Mr. Hutton was united in marriage to Miss Henrietta Young, at Utica, N.Y., and shortly thereafter brought his bride and her mother to his western home.

During all the time of his residence here, Mr. Hutton interested himself in church works, and set an example of faithfulness, devotion and uprightness combined, such as is rarely encountered amid the ever-changing scenes of frontier life. His steadfastness in the faith was a marked characteristic and none can say that he failed to send, cheerfully, a helping hand whenever his assistance in a worthy cause was solicited.

The deceased was a member of the Buffalo Lodge of Odd Fellows, and during the time of his illness the lodge divided with the family and their friends the charge of the sick room. All that human tenderness could do to alleviate the sufferings of the patient was done.”
