His wife and later his daughter continued to live in the home, and 634 Hutchins became part of the Columbus ladies' social scene: In 1917 it was a home where meetings of the WTCU (Woman's Christian Temperance Union) were held, but by the 1920s, regular meetings of the Happy Hour Club were held there!
