At North Loup, Neb. on August 31, 1911, Mrs. Rosetta Weed Hutchins, in the seventy-ninth year of her age.
Rosetta was the daughter of James and Susan Rogers Weed and was born at Scio, Allegany Co., NY, on April 6, 1833. James Weed was born at Ballston, Saratoga Co., NY, and was the son of Nathaniel Weed, whose father came from England. James Weed's mother was Lois Spencer of Welsh descent.
Susan Rogers was the daughter of Jesse Rogers and Hannah Bliven. Rosetta had one brother, Jesse Weed, and two sisters-Nancy, wife of Delorvel H. Hilton, and Harriet Alzine, who died at the age of twenty-two years.
Rosetta Weed was married to Alonzo B. Hutchins at the home of her parents at Albion, Dane Co., Wis., on August 10, 1851, by Solomon Head, Esq.
Not long after their marriage brother and sister Hutchins removed to Iowa and from there to Freeborn, Minn. (Trenton Church). Afterwards they returned to Iowa and later removed to North Loup, Neb., where they celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their wedding on August 10.
Mrs Hutchins was baptized when nine years of age and joined the church at Scio, NY, then called the Amity Church, and for seventy years she has lived a faithful Christian life, always loyal to the faith of her father and mother. The memory of this good woman who has gone to her reward remains a benediction upon children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins had eight children, six of whom are still living. The youngest child is the Rev. Jesse E. Hutchins, pastor of the Church at Berlin, NY. In the absence of her pastor, Rev. Geo. B. Shaw of the Seventh-Day Baptist church, the funeral service was conducted by Brother E. A. Wells, pastor of the Friends Church.
