Elizabeth C. Hutchinson (1828-1874) was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and died in Rushford, Minnesota. She taught Sunday school and was an advocate for reform during the temperance movement. Elizabeth married Asa B. Hutchinson in Nantucket in 1847. Asa was a musician and singer and was a member of The Hutchinson Family, an American singing group. Members of The Hutchinson Family eventually split into their own "tribes," with Asa forming a group with Elizabeth (as singer) and their children, calling themselves the "Tribe of Asa." Mary Baker Eddy attended a July 4th concert given by the "Tribe of Asa" at High Rock in Lynn and wrote an account, "The High Rock Concert," that was published in the Lynn Weekly Reporter on July 9, 1864.
