May Hutton

As May Arkwright, she married Levi Hutton in 1887. He was a locomotive engineer on an ore train out of Wallace, Idaho. She ran the best boarding house in the mines. Together they invested their savings of $5 ,284 in what was to become the mighty Hercules mine ... and their considerable fortune was made! In Spokane, the Huttons were involved in every sort of charitable project, especially ones benefitting children . Both were orphans and their marriage was childless . . . thus they felt a special sympathy for those in similar circumstances. Mrs. Hutton founded a home for unwed mothers. The Hutton properties
today support The Hutton Settlement for children.
