Hein, Phillip Jacob; (May 1, 1849-March 1, 1909; father;
h/o Anna); Philip Hein died March 1, 1909 in Edwall, WA. “Philip Hein
is a farmer and stockman residing seven miles east and two miles south of
Davenport. He was born in Bavaria, Germany, May 1, 1849. His parents were George
and Catherine Hein, the former dying in Germany and the latter in Wisconsin. Mr.
Hein has two brothers, William and Wenstlin, both living in Wisconsin.
In the spring of 1861 Mr. Hein with his mother and brothers sailed from
Bremen, Germany, for New York. They made their home in New York for a few years,
and while here our subject learned the cabinet maker’s trade. During the
spring of 1866 he went to Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, where he worked at his
trade and farmed for a number of years. In 1874 he went to Cheyenne and Laramie,
Wyoming, and engaged in the stock business. He came to San Francisco in 1879,
and to Portland soon afterward. In the autumn of 1879 he came to the Palouse
country and in the following spring to Lincoln County, where he located his
present home as a homestead. On
March 1, 1899, Mr. Hein was married to Anna Proff, a native of Sheboygan County,
Wisconsin, and daughter of Peter and Catherine Proff, who were born in Germany.
The Proff family came to Oregon in 1874, and to Rosalia, WA, in 1878, where the
parents are still living. To Mr. and Mrs. Hein have been born three children,
Ralph W, Albert M, and an infant. Immediately after coming to this country Mr .Hein engaged in raising stock and improved his farm, which at that early stage
of the country entailed great hardship and labor. His means were decidedly
limited when he settled here, but he is now one of the substantial and
well-to-do farmers of the Big Bend. He has five hundred and thirty acres of
agricultural land, good buildings and improvements, including a first class
water system, and three acres of orchard. The old Seattle & Lake Shore
railroad cuts off one corner of his land. The visitor to his farm must needs be
impressed with the thrift and courage of the man when he compares his present
modern and commodious residence with the primitive dugout in which he started
life here.” (History of Big Bend, 1904; page 327) “Ralph J Hein, Mar 1879,

1915 in Spokane; d/o W. A. Wright; w/o Richard A. Hutchinson) “Mrs. Hutchinson
Dead. Shot Self. Wife of Spokane Senator Long Sufferer From Melancholia. Tragedy
at Home. Suddenly overwhelmed by a paroxysm of melancholia, Mrs. Marguerite
Hutchinson, wife of Senator R. A. Hutchinson, ended her life with a revolver at 8
o’clock yesterday morning in the family home at S1762 Grand Boulevard. Her
condition was the result of periods of extreme suffering in the last three
years, caused by a series of severe operations she was compelled to undergo, but
against which she opposed so much cheerfulness and charitable activity that few
outside the immediate family knew anything of it.
Although she had been lately struggling under mental depression, there
was no indication that the final breakdown had come when she entered her
husband’s room Sunday morning and procured part of the paper he was reading.
She exchanged greetings pleasantly and remarked that she felt much better than
on the previous evening. A few
moments later the senator and his son and daughter heard a shot. They found Mrs.
Hutchinson lying on her left side with the weapon at her finger tips. The bullet
entered the right temple and death ensued almost instantly. Dr F. M. Hoag, a
neighbor, was summoned, but could be of no service. Suffered Severe Nervous Strain. Under the influence of
dejection resulting from pain and ill health, Mrs. Hutchinson had several times
intimated the hopelessness of living and she had been under a severe nervous
strain the day before, but after a walk with her husband in the park seemed to
have regained something of her usual spirits. Two years ago these attacks became
noticeable while Mrs. Hutchinson was in Olympia for the legislative session with
the senator and the veteran legislator went through some of his hardest fights
on the floor when he had been in attendance on his wife all the night before.
His constant hope was that the best medical care and influence of a beautiful
home would eventually restore her health. Came
to Washington in 1883. Mrs. Hutchinson was born in Virginia and her father,
Wetzel A. Wright, moved to Eastern Washington in 1883 when she was 13 years old.
They moved to a place at the foot of Badger Mountain, in Douglas County, before
the town of Waterville was founded near there, and although educational
opportunities were lacking Mrs. Hutchinson taught herself so well that at the age
of 16 she was able to take charge of the first school in Wenatchee. Senator
Hutchinson was a member of the legislature when they were married and in the 20
years since she has kept closely in step with him, attending the sessions except
when it was necessary for her to remain at home and supervise their business
affairs. To her ability and energy the senator assigns most credit for his
success. Her literary taste, especially in classic poetry, has furnished the
home with a rare library, and she managed to find time to exercise a marked
natural talents for painting. Four Children Bring Wild Roses. One of the first
tokens of sorrow to arrive at the home yesterday was a little bunch of wild
roses sent by the children of an impoverished family Mrs Hutchinson has made
comfortable through the winter. Her
main efforts were devoted to children and she was particularly active in sending
to country homes juvenile unfortunates who otherwise would have gone to the
reform school. As a member of All Saints’ Cathedral congregation she served as
president of the church home for children, and when ill health compelled her to
resign that office she accepted a managing directorship of the institution.
Although a stepmother to part of her family the children never realized it. Her
charitable work, while constant, was performed in a
manner that brought her very little public mention. The family had
resided in Spokane since the senator retired from personal supervision of his
Lincoln County farms years ago. Members of the family are Senator Hutchinson,
his daughter Rachel and son Richard, who are at home; Mrs. Marita Wales of
Tacoma, Mrs. Bessie Hayes of Portland, Mrs. Ida Kemp of Duluth and Dean Hutchinson
of Baker City. Mrs Hutchinson’s father is still living at North Yakima.”

Senator Hutchinson was born in Grand Gulf, Miss., February 14, 1853. His
family moved to Colorado in the early days and when a small boy he was page in
the Colorado legislature. Later he went to Kansas, where he spent seven years in
driving cattle, conducting a small store and fighting Indians. The family then
moved to the Pacific coast. From 1873 until 1879 he worked in the coal mines at
Newcastle, King County, but while there he became crippled and lost his health.

They arrived in Spokane May 29, finding a settlement of 50 people, and took a
tract of land 35 miles west of the city, cultivating it and transforming it into
a valuable piece of property. Was
First Assessor. At the first election held in the district, in 1882, he was
chosen assessor. In 1883 the division of the county was changed so that his
property was beyond the borders of Spokane County and he was elected assessor of
Lincoln County. In June 1886, he grubstaked the half-breeds who discovered the
mines at Ruby camp, Okanogan County, when the reservation was first opened. When
Joseph’s band of Nez Perce Indians were brought to Spokane he received them as
prisoners of war and took them to the Nespelem valley, on the Colville
reservation, where he lived with them until July, 1889, teaching them farming.

years and of the Inland Empire for 42 years. He was one of the active proponents
of dividing the state and forming the new state of Lincoln from eastern
Washington and northern Idaho. He will be buried in the cemetery at Mondovi,
Wash., near Reardan, where he first settled in 1879.” (Spokesman-Review: July
21, 1921, page 6; contributed by AskALibrarian);“Richard A. Hutchinson.
Residence:
Hutchinson, William Dean; (July 12, 1797-Nov 12, 1884; born in Lexington, KY);
“William Dean Hutchinson, who was born in Kentucky in 1798, was a
cousin of Andrew Jackson, whose mother belonged to the Hutchinson family. In
1836 William Dean Hutchinson removed from Kentucky to Illinois and afterward
went to Havana, Cuba, where he was engaged in business until the outbreak of the
Mexican War, when he returned to the United States and volunteered for service
with the Mississippi troops. He also went to California in 1849 with the
Argonauts I search of the golden fleece, but after a brief period spent on the
coast returned to Mississippi. His opposition to slavery caused him to join John
Brown in his famous campaign in Kansas and during the Civil War he served as
guide on General Sigel’s staff in Missouri but became disabled and left the
army. In the winter of 1862 he went to Colorado but returned to Kansas and was
the builder of the first house in Hays City, that state. He became a resident of
eastern Washington, and he and his sons became the first settlers in what is now
Mondovi, Lincoln County, where his death occurred on the 8th of
November, 1884. There have been few men whose lives have been more closely
connected with a greater number of events of national importance that William
Dean Hutchinson. Enterprising in spirit, fearless in action, he was the champion
of his country’s interest in the Mexican War, the friend of the oppressed when
slavery marred the fair name of the nation and he met with valorous spirit the
hardships and privation incident to pioneer life in California and Washington.
His wife (Margaret Murray) was of Irish and Scotch descent. Her father was a
lieutenant in the Scotch Grays of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars
and fought under Wellington throughout the Peninsular campaign and at
Waterloo.” (excerpt from the biography of Richard Ashton Hutchinson in Spokane
and the Inland Empire, page 14-18) The household of Dean W. Hutchinson on June 4,
1880 is shown as: Dean W. Hutchinson, 65, b. KY; Richard A. Hutchinson, 27, b. MS;
and William H. Hutchinson, 22, b. MO, and a boarder, James S. Bayley, 29, b. WI.”
