Obituary. SUDDEN DEATH OF DR ADAM HUTTON.
Skill and Homeliness Made Him Popular with Patients.
With tragic suddenness the death has occurred at his residence, 250 Rosemount Place, Aberdeen, of Dr Adam Hutton, a well-known practitioner in the town. Dr Hutton , was in his usual health when he retired to rest on Thursday night, but he was found dead in bed yesterday morning. Death was due to a heart attack.
Born in the Rosemount district of Aberdeen forty-nine years ago, he spent his childhood and youth at Rhynie and Huntly. He received his early education in Rhynie and at Gordon Schools, Huntly, whence he proceeded to Aberdeen University, where he graduated in medicine in 1907. After two years in West Hartlepool he went to London, where he studied for three years, taking his degree in Tropical Medicine. For a further three years he was on Government medical work in West Africa. While Dr Hutton was home leave, Dr Mitchell, Old Rayne, a relation, died, and he took over the practice. He worked in Old Rayne for three years end then went to Wartle, where he bought a practice which carried on for nine years. In these rural parishes Dr Hutton discharged the duties of the typical country doctor, with all the hardships of the life, with great faithfulness, and his skill and homeliness made him welcome visitor in the homes of his patients. When he left the district in 1922 he was honoured with a public presentation, and high tributes were paid to his personal and professional worth. When his family began to grow up, Dr Hutton came to Aberdeen twelve years ago, and bought the practice of the late Dr Laing. At that time he also took his diploma in public health at Aberdeen University. In Aberdeen he built up a steadily growing practice.
Varied Interests.
Outside his professional career, Dr Hutton had one or two pursuits in which he was keenly interested. He was the life and soul of the Aberdeen branch of the Huntly Gordon Schools F.P.'s Association, and was a prominent figure at all its functions. He was greatly interested in Scottish country dancing, and was vice president of the Scottish Country Dancing Association. He was an enthusiastic follower of the game of football, and every Saturday afternoon saw him the grandstand at Pittodrie. Dr Hutton was elder Melville Church practically from the time he came to Aberdeen. During the Great War he served for four years as medical officer of Kinbroon Red Cross Auxiliary Hospital. Dr Hutton is survived by Mrs Hutton and a family of two sons and three daughters. The eldest son is a medical student, and the eldest daughter is at the School of Domestic Science. The other members of the family are at school.
