Four graves and original white slab stones on the NW of corner of cemetery in Kirkwood, Warren Co, IL. were moved there from earlier burying place. The cemetery in Kirkwood is on the NW corner of the village. These stones are just south of an old ceder tree. The stones each have an outline of what looks like a tree with drooping branches and the lettering is legible (as of June 13, 1973).• Event, Bits of History, Monmouth Review

My mother, Belle F. Talbot, told me that this John Hutchinson was the one that had the older graves moved. I think she said he was from the Dakotas (Information from Edith Ackert papers would indicate his home was Delmont, S.D.) Mother said he came here on visits.
The above information came from: Mrs. James A. O'Daniel, 308 S. B. St. Monmouth, IL 61462.
James C. Hutchinson came from Ohio by water in June 1853, landing at Oquawka when there were but four families in that place. He had a wife four sons and two daughters. One of the sons was the late Col. Sam Hutchinson of Monmouth. Mr. Hutchinson was a commissioner of Warren countyu from 1838 to 1840 and when the county was divided was one of the first commissioners of Henderson county.• Immigration, to America, 1811

DIED... ON Friday last, at his late residence in Henderson County, James C. Hutchinson Esq., aged 62 years.
Mr. Hutchinson is a native of Ireland, but emigrated to the United States in 1811, and since has been a worthy citizen of the Republic. Mr. Hutchinson was one of the oldest settlers, having taken up residence in this, then Warren County at as early period as 1833 and where he continued to reside until the day of his death. His talents were of no inferior order; and the estimation in which his personal and private character was held, was favorabley shown by the numerous concourse of citizens which followed his earthly remains to their last resting place.

Amoung the early pioneers of this county, and deserving honorable mention, no name stands higher than James C. Hutchinson. Mr. Hutchinson was born in County Antrim, Ireland in the year 1790. Came to America in 1811 and passed his twenty-first birthday on the Atlantic ocean. He first settled in the state of New Jersey, where he was soon after united in marriage with the noble and true Miss. Sarah Dellamarter, who after became the mother of his six sons and two daughters, two of whom, Wm. John and Samuel were born in the city of Patterson, N.J. Five in Harrison County, Ohio, and one in Warren County, IL. From New Jersey Mr. Hutchinson removed to Harrison County, Ohio in 1818, where he followed farming and dealing in cattlelargely till 1833, when he with his family emigrated to Illinois, landing at the lower Yellow banks (Oquawka) on June 2. During the same summer he located a claim on Sec. 1, T. 10, R4, where he and his sons actively engaged in making hay preparatory to making a start in the stock business, which they finally succeeded in building up to immense proportions. During their first summer on the prairie the bread supply became exhausted, and finding hay-making with hand scythes and rakes without bread too exhaustive on physical system, Mr. Hutchinson went with a team to Quincy and purchased a load of flour, which answered a good purpose for his family and the neighbors (three within several miles0. In the fall of the first year of his settlement here he was induced by his neighbors to move his cabin from the prairie into the timber to avoid freezing to death the first winter, and his move was just across the line into Sec. 36, T.11 R.4, into a friendly grove, where he lived and prospered as a farmer and stock raiser till the time of his death, in 1852. The same year his wife and one daughter was laid near his grave.
