DEATH OF G.T. DUTTON

     George T. Dutton, for four years a resident of this district, died here Wednesday, December 24, of heart failure. He has been in failing health for three months or more but his case was not considered serious until about two weeks prior to his death. He was caring for at the home of Mrs. Lewis where he received every attention possible from Dr. Sayre and a trained nurse, but it was of no avail, and just as the shadows of night were falling and Christmas Eve, the most joyous of all seasons, was approaching, his spirit passed to the great unknown and another life had ceased to exist, another was added to the millions which have passed to that mysterious bourne from which no traveler returns. That hands which have been always extended to the less fortunate brother were crossed over the heart which was always open to his fellow man and George Dutton, liked by all who knew him, was of the earth of no more.
     George T. Dutton was born at Mt. Vernon, Ontario, November 24, 1863. He came to Jackson, Mich., when 15 years old. He learned the printer's trade at an early age and became a master mechanic in that profession. He held highly responsible positions in Chicago, at various places in California and at Butte, Great Falls and Helena, Montana. He came to White Salmon about four years ago and, with two of his brothers, became owner of the Mt. Vernon orchards in the Bristol district. He remained here until the time of his death.
     He leaves a daughter 15 years old at Concord, Mich., a sister, Mrs. Albert Wallace, and a brother near Toronto, Canada, and two other brothers, C.E. Dutton of Helena and J.S. Dutton of the First National Bank of Butte. C.E. Dutton was present at the funeral. Services were conducted under the auspices of the Masonic lodge, of which the deceased was a member, his home lodge being at Butte. Rev. Grimes of Bristol, a neighbor and friend of the deceased, made a few well chosen remarks at the grave.
     George Dutton was a popular man with his large circle of acquaintance. Of a jovial disposition, good hearted to the extreme and a favorite with the children, he will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
