The story

Dr. William Hutchings died in 1903. His daughter Lida Hutchings, born in 1878, photographed the office and life in Madison. Elisabeth Zulauf Kelemen, born in 1898, was a granddaughter of Dr. Hutchings and Matilda Hutchings. HMI credits Lida and Elisabeth with the survival of the Hutchings collection of records, instruments, books, and family artifacts.
