EDWARD LANSING HUTTON -- "Lant"
Source: Crawfordsville Journal, Dec 5, 1885
Edward Lansing Hutton died on Tues. at the residence of his father just No. of the city, of typhoid fever, at the age of 30 years, having been b. Sept 15, 1855.
A couple of months since he went to Ks and was stricken with the fever at Dodge City.
The disease was arrested and it was thought he had recovered sufficiently to be brought home, but the fatigue of travel was greater than his weakened frame could withstand, when he was taken with a relapse.
His sufferings were very great until Tues. at 4 o'clock when he was released from pain.
He was quiet and unobtrusive in his manners, a young man of strict morals and upright honesty and was popular with his associates.
The high esteem in which he was held was shown by the large number who attended his obsequies on Friday.
Religious services were held at the house, conducted by Rev. EB Thomson, which were very solemn and impressive.
The choir sang some beautiful and touching hymns while the two bands consolidated for the occasion and rendered soft and sweet music.
Immediately in the rear of the band in the cortege James Kennedy and Harry Connard carried a beautiful floral design upon which lay the cornet which belonged to the beloved dead.
His remains were laid away at Oak Hill Cemetery by the side of his mother, who preceded him several years ago.

Edward Lansing Hutton died on Tuesday at the residence of his father just north of the city, of typhoid fever, at the age of thirty years, having been born September 15, 1855. A couple months since he went to Kansas and was stricken with the fever at Dodge City. The disease was arrested and it was thought he had recovered sufficiently to be brought home, but the fatigue of travel was greater than his weakened frame could withstand, when he was taken with a relapse. His sufferings were very great until Tuesday at 4 o'clock when he was released from pain. He was quiet and unobtrusive in his manners, a young man of strict morals and upright honesty, and was popular with his associates. The high esteem in which he was held was shown by the large number who attended his obsequies on Friday. Religions services were held at the house, conducted by Rev. E.B. Thompson, which were very solemn and impressive. The choir sang some beautiful and touching hymns while the tow bands consolidated for the occasion and rendered soft and sweet music. Immediately in the rear of the bands in the cortege James Kennedy and Harry Connard carried a beautiful floral design upon which lay the cornet which belonged to the beloved dead. His remains were laid away at Oak hill cemetery by the side of his mother, who preceded him several years since. - thanks to Kim H
