Tombstone Tuesday - Margaret (Gilliland) Hutchison

Only known photo of Margaret Hutchison probably taken in the mid 1860's in Iowa.

Margaret McMillan Gilliland was born October 24, 1830 in Holmes County, Ohio daughter of Archibald and Margaret (Withrow) Gilliland. She married Daniel Hutchison, Jr. in Fairfield, Jefferson County, Iowa at her parents home on July 4, 1850.

They were the parents of 5 sons and 4 daughters with the youngest being my Great Grandmother, Sarah Ellen Hutchison. Margaret died in Oregon, Washington County on the 23rd of April, 1909. Arcade Cemetery was established in 1886 and is located on Old Pumpkin Ridge Road just north of North Plains, Washington County, Oregon where Daniel, Margaret and all of their children and many other cousins, etc. make their final resting place. Both the Gilliland and Hutchison families have been well traced and left many descendants that have taken a big interest in their roots. Through the years, I have been in contact with these distant cousins and one thing that resonates with these folks in their strong sense of family and kindness and upmost generosity in sharing their pictures and data.
