Democrat, Aug. 24-- Four brothers, three of whom fought in the Union Army during the Civil war and who have not been together for fifty-seven years are together at a family reunion this week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Palmer, 901 South Vermont avenue. The veterans are William J. Hutton, of Oklahoma City, Okla., aged 84 and father of Mrs. Palmer, J. B. Hutton of Humansville, Mo., aged 81, Columbus J. Hutton, of Sedan, aged 79 and A. M. Hutton of Weableau, Mo. Although some of the brothers have been together in recent years, all four have not been with each other since about 1870., five years after the civil war, at which time A. M. Hutton, the youngest of the brothers was only one year old. W. J. Hutton served in Company H, Fifth Division of the Missouri State Militia and the other two brothers, J. B. and Columbus J., served in Company D., Fifteenth regiment United States Calvary. There are also visiting at the Palmer home, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Chester and family of Cincinnati, Ohio, John W. Hutton of St. Louis, Mo., Samuel J. Hutton of Osceola, Mo., and Miss Goldie Bal of Oklahoma city, Okla., Mr. and Mrs. Frank Turrentine of Borger, Texas, also visited at the home for several days. (Note: These brothers were the sons of John Milton and Delilah (Walker) Hutton. There is a nice family story of Columbus J. Hutton and some of his descendants in the Chautauqua County Kansas History Book Vo, II, pg. 178 and a photo of Columbus at age 81.)
