So that is my secret. My mother started me.\u201d Hutson, who turned 100 Friday, was born in the Whitley County community now known as Black Oak. Then it was a coal-mining camp named after the East Tennessee Coal Company. Clearfork Missionary Baptist Church members helped Hutson celebrate his upcoming birthday after the Dec. 10 morning worship service. At the close of the service, Clearfork Pastor Tyler Jones presented Hutson with a new bible. Then the church held a fellowship dinner featuring a birthday cake commemorating Hutson\u2019s centennial accomplishment and presented him with a certificate of appreciation for his service to his country during WWII. The United States Army Air Force certificate reads, \u201cTo recognize World War II Veteran Roscoe Hutson in appreciation of your tireless efforts in support of our United States Armed Forces. Your dedication to our country and its military is commendable and a honorable addition to the fight for freedom\u00a0 throughout the world. We pay special tribute to you for your military service to America. God bless America. God bless you.\u201d Hutson enlisted after Pearl Harbor and served four years in the military. \u201cI was one of the lucky ones. I was always training. From the time I got in, I got through with mine and then they put me to training. I must have had a good voice to holler at them or something another,\u201d Hutson said laughing. \u201cI stayed all over the United States from California to New York.\u201d Hutson remains in good health. He still drives, cuts his own grass and doesn\u2019t walk with a cane. Hutson said some key factors to staying in good health include following your doctor\u2019s orders, get enough sleep and to be in a good family. Hutson and his wife Wilma, who is 90, have been married for 68 years. They met in January 1949 in church and started dating. They were married on Aug. 11, 1949. \u201cI knew all his brothers and sisters, his mom and all of them before I ever knew him,\u201d Wilma recalled. \u201cI knew he would make me a good husband.\u201d Their secret to happiness is living good clean lives and trying not to get mad at one another, Wilma said. \u201cWe don\u2019t get into anything we shouldn\u2019t get into,\u201d she added."}
