A friend of Mr. Hutchinson, in paying tribute said: “Too much praise cannot be give Miles Hutchinson. He believed in the Golden Rule and practiced it. He was one of Linn County’s most progressive citizens. There was an elasticity to Mr. Hutchinson’s mind which age did not claim. His vision stretched to include new ways and means of accomplishing things. He was a man of excellent judgment, careful and diligent in business, a citizen to be mourned by his community and his county, and his church to which he was devoted.”
Mr. Hutchinson will be missed by his family and his many neighbors and friends.
