7. MORTON’S LETHEON
We were witness yesterday to an experiment made by this extraordinary agent in extracting a tooth, which, from the peculiarity of its situation was very difficult. The tooth was entirely sound, but its extraction was made necessary from its crowded position. The subject, a young man, called on Dr. Sutton, (resident Dentist of our City) who caused him to inhale the gas, when he became entirely insensible to pain, although almost as sensible as ever to what was going on. Four attempts were made requiring the entire strength of the operator to extract the tooth, but apparently without causing the least pain to the subject. On coming out of the state into which he had been thrown by the gas, he was asked if he felt any pain but he replied that he did not thus proving the entire efficacy of the agent in case which must otherwise have cause the most excruciating pain. The effect of the gas passed off in about three minutes; cases have occurred in which it lasted twenty or thirty minutes. Dr. Sutton, as will be seen by his advertisement in to-days paper, is agent (in connection with F. G. Calendar, Daguerrian Artist and Dentist) for the sale of Morton’s Letheon and the inhaling apparatus, and is prepared to furnish it to Surgeons and medical men who may desire it. He has removed to King street, where he will attend to calls in his profession as usual, and as he is prepared to extract teeth entirely without pain by means of this gaz. All who are under the necessity of requiring his aid may do so with perfect safety.

On 1 Nov. 1855 he paid $200 to study for one year with John P. Sutton, a dentist at Kingston. When Sutton moved to Brantford in April 1856, Day, with only some six months of training, set up a practice in Kingston. He later described his laboratory equipment as consisting of “a charcoal furnace, anvil, sledge hammer, work bench and a reasonable set of bench tools necessary for gold base plate work, the only material used for artificial dentures at that time,” and his instruments of “a few long handled burs, rotated between thumb and finger . . . , a stud thimble with a cup in the palm of the hand for pressure, [and] . . . a fine set of forceps.” (Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online)
11. DR. SUTTON returns grateful acknowledgements to the citizens of Kingston and vicinity, for the extensive patronage he has received; and intimates that he has sold his practice to mr. B. W.

Mrs. Valorous Truell who was occupying the house with her mother, Mrs. Sutton, and her daughter, Miss Mabel Truell, escaped uninjured but lost most of their clothing and many other articles. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mrs. Truell has moved her goods saved from the fire into the Methodist parsonage and is residing there. (Stanstead Journal, Sep. 4, 1919)29. Obit:
The funeral of the late Mrs. Mima Ann Sutton, relic of the late Dr. John Sutton, who “crossed the bar” Sunday, Jan. 9th, took place from her late home in the village Tuesday morning of last week. The bearers, Mess’d. Levi and Oraon Cleveland, Wright Parsons and Ernest Parker, bore the casket containing the mortal remains of dear grandma Sutton, from Mrs. Truell’s home to the Baptist Church and from thence to Mount Pleasant Cemetery, where interment took place. As the flower covered casket was borne churchwards, preceded by Eev. C. P. England, the officiating clergyman, and Mr. C. H. England, manager, and followed by sorrowing relatives and friends, the procession reminded one of a scene in Evangeline, so simple and yet so eloquent. Rev. C. P. England preached from the text chosen by grandma Sutton herself for this occasion and written with care on the fly leaf of her Bible: Zach. 14:7, “At evening time there shall be light.” He referred to the conversion of the deceased more than 80 years ago at Derby where Mima Ann attending Derby Academy, the first year the institution was in operation. He spoke of the sweetness of Grandma Sutton’s character, and of the sweetness of her Master through the vicissitudes of a long life. Mrs. G. A. Hadlock presided at the organ, rendering choice selections during the interludes of the service and accompanying the soloist of the occasion, Miss Converse of Orleans, Vt., who sang two hymns, the choice of the deceased “I Would Not Live Always,” and “Peace, Perfect Peace.” Grandma Sutton had loved the children, she had loved them in a tangible way by knitting mittens for them and remembering them with gifts on the Christmas tree. These same children now passed in procession before the casket, each dropping in a bunch of flowers. It was a pretty scene, and few eyes were dry in the church. Mrs. Sutton was the daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Jacob Green, and was born in New York, January 26, 1824, so that at the time of crossing over she was almost 97 years of age. During many years she resided at Coaticook where her husband, Dr. John Sutton, successfully practiced dentistry. Last summer when our Prime Minister was touring the Eastern Townships, Grandma Sutton was photographed between the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen and the Hon. C. C. Ballantyne, Minister of Marines. When Mr. Ballantyne had conducted Grandma Sutton back to her chair on the veranda, bowing low to her he said, “Madam, I am honored.” We all felt he had spoken the truth. He had been Honored. Bright of intellect to the last, interested in the community in which she lived and in the world at large, dear Grandma Sutton was a delight to all who visited her, and her visitors were many. She leaves to mourn her loss two sons, Mr. Wm. Sutton of Winnipeg, Man., and Dr. Charles Sutton of Colebrooke, N. H.; three daughters, Mrs. Williams of Toronto, Mrs. V. Truell of Barnston, and Mrs. Rervi Conger of Sioux City, Iowa, besides a host of friends. (1921)30. OLD RESIDENT OF BARNSTON PASSES AWAY
Late Mrs. Sutton Was Highly Respected
and Loved by all Who Knew Her.
BARNSTON, Que., Jan. 12.— One of Barnston’s oldest and most highly respected and most dearly loved old ladies, in the person of Mrs. Minia Ann Sutton, passed away on Sunday morning at eleven o’clock. Mrs. Sutton was born in the State of New York, January 26th, 1824, and was in the ninety-seventh year of her age. She was the daughter of the late Jacob Green and married Dr. John P. Sutton, who practised dentistry successfully for many years in Coaticook, Que. Mrs. Sutton was the mother of ten children, five of whom survive her, namely, Mr. Wm. Sutton, of Winnipeg, Man.; Dr. Charles Sutton, of Colebrook, N. H.; Mrs. George Williams, of Toronto, Ont.; Miss (Dr.) LeRoi Conger, of Sioux City, Iowa; and Mrs. V. Truell, of Barnston. Of late years, Mrs. Sutton has made her home in Barnston, receiving the most tender care from her daughter, Mrs. V. Truell, who devoted her whole time to her mother. Last summer when our Premier and party were en route from Coaticook to Stanstead, grandma Sutton was photographed with the Prime Minister on one side and the Hon. Ballantyne Minister of Marines, on the other. Though so advanced in years, until a few days ago, Mrs. Sutton enjoyed excellent health and was in possession of all her faculties. The funeral service took place on Tuesday morning at 10.30 o'clock at the Baptist Church where Rev. C. R. England officiated from the text chosen by Mrs. Sutton herself, "At Eventide, There Shall be Light." Mrs. G. A. Hadlock presided at the organ and Miss Clemer Converse, of Orleans, Vt., sang favorite hymns. The bearers were: Messrs. G. B. Hall, Ernest Parker, W. H. Buckland, C. L. Cleveland and by these the mortal remains were carried up the hill to rest in Mount Pleasant cemetery. (Sherbrooke Daily Record, Jan. 12, 1921, p. 5)

Extracting Teeth.
By W. H. Sutton, L.D.S., Magog, Que.
While condemning, as a rule, the extraction of teeth which prevails to such an extent in larger cities, it is not possible that their extraction will ever become out of place, and it is important to make this matter as easy as possible, with as little pain to the patient and as little labor to the operator. Some of our oldest operators still adhere to the use of the key and the elevators, and in spite of our objections to them, very skilful operations have been performed by them. My late father for nearly half a century used these instruments, and he never had an accident; and I believe there are enough operators to-day using the elevator to make it worth the while of the depots to add new forms and keep old forms in stock.
In my practice in the country with my late father for over ten years, I used only a few forceps for all cases, as I found that I could accomplish all I needed with four or five.
1) The bayonet forcep. — This is one of the most important of our extracting instruments, and can be made to do good work as well in the lower jaw as in the upper. It should not be too long in the handle, and should have both ends of handle bent or curved so as to make it easy of adaptation to the palm of the hand.
If the patient is placed on a stool, or if the dentist stands on one, this forcep can be used for roots of lower bicuspids and molars; sometimes, too, when the jaws are partially closed by inflammation. When the denta sapientics are developing, the easiest way to reach them often is by the bayonet forcep, when by slow movement they can be extracted.
2) Many dentists find the ordinary forcep badly adapted for the hand, and it is a common thing to see dentists placing a ball of cotton in the hollow of the hand to get a solid grip of the forcep handle. I am bothered with this difficulty myself, and I beg respectfully to present my means of overcoming the trouble. I place on one of the handles a rubber bulb, which adapts itself to the hollow of the hand and gives me a steady hold, and takes away the spring which is found in many handles of American forceps.
3) It is often a useful thing to place a cork gag between the teeth before extracting a difficult lower tooth. The movement of the lower jaw is frequently so pliable that it is not easy to control it, and a steady gag assists the operator, and prevents accidents by striking the upper teeth in the last action of extraction. It seems to be a relief to the patient, as he has not that sense of fracturing a part which so many people feel in having difficult teeth extracted.
4) After extracting abscessed roots and teeth associated with large gum-boils, it is a good precaution to rinse the mouth immediately with a hot solution of water and salt, or water and carbolic acid; and in deep-seated abscesses it is wise to syringe the sockets with peroxide of hydrogen, to cleanse the pus away. The instruments should be thoroughly disinfected by cleansing them in a five percent, carbolic acid solution. There is a great danger of infection
from dirty forceps. Blood poisoning may occur from unclean instruments.

In the meantime two children were born to them, only one surviving - Dr. L. J. Conger, of Akron, - the elder having died when a boy of eleven years. While in Patterson Mr. Conger was very active in Masonry, being one of the charter members of a lodge and its Master. From Patterson they removed to Woodstock, Ontario, he filling a similar position in their works at that place for three yeare, at the expiration of that peroid he removed to Toronto, where they lived five years, their son having gone out west, they joined his wife's people at Akron, where they have since lived a very quiet life. Conger was always a conscientious christian man in all of the works, walks and talks of his Iong life. His closest friends were those in his immediate family. His daily life was an inspiratlon toward right living, thinking and feeling. Just to meet him casually was like a ray of the sun shining across one's pathway. He had the soul of honor and the manner of courtesy. His funeral was held under the auspices of the Masonic order, the pall bearers being Masons who, with a large delegation from the lodge, escorted the remains from the residence to the M. E. church, where the services were conducted by Rev. J. S. Brain and the choir; thence to Riverside cemetery, where Masonic ritual service was carried out in full. (The Arkon Register Tribune, 1910)

4. RUNAWAY - Two ladies, Mrs. Worthington and her mother, Mrs. Damon, were driving a span of horses, attached to a buggy, Saturday afternoon, says the Grass Valley National, some little distance beyond St. Patrick's Church, when one of the buggy-wheels ran into a deep rut, which threw Mrs. Worthington out. The horses started on a run, but Mrs. Damon kept her seat, with two children. The horses ran to the Catholic Church, where they were stopped by a gentleman who chanced to be passing that way. he asked the lady what was the matter, when she coolly replied, "I don't like to drive a span of horses without reins." Mrs. Worthington was slightly bruised. Such coolness as was evinced by Mrs. Damon is certainly very commendable. Had she junped from the buggy with the children, probably the three would have been killed. (Daily Alta California, Nov. 1, 1867)

3. A Drunken Man and a Rattlesnake.
We find the following in the Grass Valley Tidings : A Nevada City man, of the name of Henry Damon, went around that town last Saturday night, and he carried in his hand a live rattlesnake. He showed the reptile to several prominent citizens of the town, and when a citizen took a look at the beast the citizen would rush off and hunt up a doctor, and ask for medicine that dismisses such jim jam menageries. A goodly number who saw the snake also went forthwith and "jined the pledge," and said they would drink no more. Damon was about the best temperance lecturer they have had in our sister city for these many days, although Damon himself was drunk. Marshal Baldridge and Constable Venard knocked the snake out of Damon's hand, and " the seed of the woman bruised the serpent's head,'' and that fact showed the people who had beheld the snake, and had been scared, that it was a sure-enough affair, and not one created by alcohol-stimulated brains. When the situation became properly understood, those who had seen the doctor did not go to the druggist to get their valerian mixture put up, and those who had sworn off resumed the regular game of pedro for the drinks. Baldridge and Venard have set back the clock of temperance reformation in Nevada City at least forty eight hours. (Sacramento Daily Union, Dec. 6, 1883)
4. [In an article titled "California Fifty Years Ago]
Henry Damon, a Nevada City, Nevada County, miner half "shot," entered New Year night a saloon where a score of citizens had gathered to celebrate the advent of 1884. In his hand was a wriggling gopher snake, and as soon as the convivial crowd saw it they dispersed. Many believed it was alcoholic strabismus that caused them to see snakes, and not an actuality; visions of "snakes in their boots" probably flared. The barkeep, when he got wise, forcibly ejected Damon and bis snake. (The Grizzly Bear, Jan. 1934)
5. Became a naturalized citizen in1886, (1920 census)
6. Rumored Fight for Possession of a Mine.
It was rumored on the street, on Saturday night and Sunday, that there had been trouble at the Spanish mine above Washington, and that Superintendent Bradley, had either been shot or shot at. There was some foundation for the story, excepting that Mr. Fred Bradley was neither shot nor threatened. Adjoining the Spanish claim is a claim known as the Santa Anita. The property has not been worked for some time, and has been in charge of Mr. M. Singleton, who has lived upon the premise, in the company’s boarding house. There has been some conflict of interest between the two companies, and the Santa Anita company has been threatening to bring suit against the Spanish company. In order to settle all disputes, the owners of the Spanish mine have, from time to time been buying up all the Santa Anita stock they could get. The entire stock has been purchased, and a demand made upon Mr. Singleton for possession. That gentleman, for some reason which we have not learned refused to give possession, and resisted an attempt to eject him. Friday night, some of the employes of the mine, among them Henry Damon of this city, and a man named Horner, went over to take possession. Mr. Singleton resisted, and in the quarrel he fired off a shotgun. It is not known that he attempted to shoot any one, at least we have not heard that he did. He has since left the place and his whereabouts was not known by our informant, Mr. Thomas Curry, —Nevada Herald. (Morning Union, Jan. 12, 1887)

9. AFTER SIX MONTHS
Henry Damon Arrested for Robbing “Jake” Malzi’s Cabin Last February.
On the 14th of last February, Erhard Malzi, a miner, better known as “Jake” Malzi, died at his cabin near the Wyoming mine, Nevada City. His remains were taken in charge by the Red Men, of which order he was a member. The following night the cabin was destroyed and from the circumstances it was believed that the place had been robbed and then set fire to. A friend of Malzi’s (August Spiker, we believe), says the Transcript, had been taking care of him, but the day before Malzi died Henry Damon came to the cabin and ordered Spiker away, telling him that he would attend to the sick man. Spiker left, not wishing to have any trouble. This act of Damon’s, and the subsequent burning of the cabin, caused suspicion to fall on him. Malzi was known to have a watch and other valuables, besides insurance papers. There was also a good supply of provisions in the cabin. After a lapse of over six months a clue was obtained Thursday which connects Damon with the robbery of the cabin. Malzi’s watch was sent by Damon to Luetje & Brand’s for repairs. The watchmaker recognized the watch by a private mark he had placed on the inside of the case when he had last cleaned it, and turning to his book found the number and make of the watch to correspond exactly with Malzi’s. Under Sheriff Neagle, who had been interested in the case, was notified, and Thursday evening arrested Damon on a warrant sworn out in Justice Carr’s court, fie was released from custody on $200 bond. (Morning Union, Aug. 26, 1893)

16. SNAKE CHARMER BITTEN BY VENOMOUS RATTLER
Was Carrying Live Snake, and Relaxing Watchfulness, Snake Sunk Its Fangs Into Left Hand of Henry Damon of North Bloomfield.
Henry Damon, a well known resident of North Bloomfield, was badly bitten on the left hand by a large rattlesnake which he was carrying. Damon is a sort of snake charmer, being in the habit of capturing rattlers alive and taking them to Chinatown in North Bloomfield, where be disposes of them for a good sum. Yesterday he was engaged in carrying an unusually large snake, and stopped to talk with a friend. Damon relaxed his watchfulness of his dangerous charge for a moment, when the snake drew back its head and struck, sinking its poisonous fangs deep in the mans left hand. He hastened to North Bloomfield for medical assistance and the usual remedies were quickly applied, but the result is yet in doubt. (The Morning Union, Sept. 22, 1906, p. 5)

29. Nevada County Man Drugged And Robbed In Home
NORTH BLOOMFIELD (Nevada Co.), June 17.-- Too much confidence in a stranger whom he met in a recent visit to Nevada City, and whom he employed to work for him on his ranch at Relief Hill, three miles east of this place, cost Henry Damon, an aged rancher, more than $500. Damon and the man, of whom there is but a meager description, came from Nevada City on the stage on Friday, getting off this place and going to the ranch. Damon had, while in Nevada City, cashed two checks for more than $500 and had displayed the money in the form of a roll of bills to various persons in that city and it is supposed, showed them to the stranger. Damon had been taking medicine for insomnia, and it is believed that Sunday night the stranger gave him an overdose of the pills as he did not awaken until 2 o'clock Monday afternoon when a neighbor came to see him. It was then the loss of the money was discovered. The sheriff's office at Nevada City was notified but the man made his getaway and no trace of him could be found. (Sacramento Bee, June 17, 1931, p. 5)

31. Victim Of Thief Dies From Tumor In Nevada City
NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), June 18.-- Henry Damon, 80, a veteran rancher of the Relief Hill section, who was relieved of $600 last Monday by a stranger whom he befriended and brought to his ranch from Nevada City, last Saturday, died in the county hospital yesterday afternoon. Death was due to a tumorous growth in the upper part of the lung which pressed against the vocal organs. his death was in no wise hastened, the physicians believed, by the theft. When in Nevada City last week he consulted a physician, who advised him to enter a hospital for treatment, but this he refused to do. He had been a resident of the county for more than sixty years, and is survived by a niece and two nephews, the former, a Mrs. Conners, residing in Sacramento. (Sacramento Bee, June 18, 1931, p. 18)
32. HENRY DAMON, THIEF'S VICTIM, AT LIFE'S END
Henry Damon, veteran rancher of the Relief Hill section, victim of a thief last Sunday or early Monday morning, who took over $500, which the old man had borrowed to buy his little ranch, is dead. The end of life came for the picturesque old man at the county hospital at noon yesterday. He was brought to the institution early Tuesday evening, and was in a very weakened condition when he arrived. Little could be done for him other, than to make him as comfortable as possible. He suffered from a tumor in the lung, which pressed against the vocal chords and made speech difficult. During his visit here last week, when he came to consult a doctor, the latter advised him to enter a hospital, but this he refused to do. Friends of years standing vainly endeavored to get him to go to the hospital but he refused their importunities as well. Mr. Damon was a native of Canada, aged over 80 years, and came to this county about 50 years ago. He was employed in the old Miners Foundry during the nineties and also worked as a laborer. He moved to the Bloomfield section where he had a small ranch and a herd of less than a hundred head of stock, about 35 years ago. He is survived by two nephews and a niece, the latter living in Sacramento. She is expected to arrive in this city toddy, when funeral arrangements which are in charge of the Holmes Funeral Home will be completed. Persons acquainted with all of the circumstances see no particular connection between the robbery and the death of Mr. Damon, regarding the two events in the light of a coincidence. (The Morning Union, June 18, 1931, p. 2)
33. FUNERAL YESTERDAY
Funeral services for the late Henry Damon were held yesterday afternoon at the Holmes Funeral Home and were attended by a few old friends. Rev. H. H. Buckner of the Methodist Church conducted the service and interment was made in Pine Grove cemetery.(The Morning Union, June 20, 1931, p. 2)
34. MORTGAGED CATTLE SOLD
Sheriff George R. Carter yesterday sold at public auction at the Damon ranch at Relief Hill about 60 head of cattle owned by the late Henry Damon to satisfy a mortgage held by Mrs. R. C. Wilson of Oakland. There were a number of bidders present and the cattle were sold for $761, somewhat less than the amount of the mortgage. (The Morning Union, July 10, 1931, p. 3)

Notes:
1. G-grandfather; Jude Converse:
The settlers soon sought help from the government to aid them in holding their clearings and improvements. In the end it was settled that the homesteaders release 1,000 of their 1,200 acres to the Agent, keeping the 200 on which were their buildings and improvements for themselves. The following is one of the petitions which was sent jointly by Stanstead and Barnston Townships:
"The Honorable Thomas Dunn, Esq.
Administrator of the Province of Quebec"
"The petition of Benjamin Haines and Simon Haines, of the Township of Stanstead, and Lemuel Rops, Jude Converse, Joshua Parker and Samuel Dunbar, of the Township of Barnston, in the Province of Lower Canada."
"Humbly and respectfully showeth, that your honorable petitioners have been settlers for some time past, on the several lots of land hereinafter annexed to their names respectively, and have made improvements thereon by clearing and cultivating the land, and erecting buildings on the same. Your petitioners further beg to observe that said improvements constitute nearly the whole of their property, to be compelled, therefore, to abandon them, would bring ruin on themselves and their families."
"Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that your Honor and Council will be favorably pleased to consider their situation, and put an order allowing them the exclusive privilege of purchasing said lots of land at the same price which other ungranted lands, in the same Township, may hereafter sell for at public sale."
"And in duty bound will ever pray."
"Dated this 1st day of November 1805."
"Stanstead: Benjamin Haines, Lot 20, 13th Range; Simon Haines, Lot 21, 13 Range."
"Barnston: Lemuel Rops, Lot 18, 3rd Range; Jude Converse, Lot 22, 3rd Range; Joshua Parker, Lot 17, 3rd Range; Samuel Dunbar, Lot 17, 5th Range."

"John Chandler located here in the fall of 1844. His nearest neighbor was James English, who lived at Burnett and whose place he and his son Isaac H. Chandler, who later became a resident of Horicon, boarded while cutting logs for their house. A few settlers of Rolling Prairie were invited to attend the "raising of the Chandler cabin and while on their way got lost and found themselves on the bank of Rock river, five miles below. At this time Horicon was known as Hubbard's Rapids. William Sutton located a quarter section about this time, adjoining John Chandler's claim. In the fall of 1844 he journeyed to Canada for his family and returned in the spring, when he built a frame shack on his claim, procuring lumber at Beaver Dam."

The ranks of the “old settlers” again are broken. J. H. Barnes, whose death occurred May 12, 1882, was one of our highly respected old settlers. He left Canada his former home and settled on East Prairie about 4 miles north-east of this city in 1857. When the war broke out Mr. Barnes left his pleasant home and marched to the front to defend the life of his adopted country. It was while enduring the hardships and exposure incident to soldier life that Mr. Barnes received such a shock to his nervous system that has made him a great sufferer for many years, and ai last proved fatal. His peaceful, honest, upright life is worthy of imitation and won the love and respect of a very large circle of friends, who feel the force of the saying “death loves a shining mirk.” Mr. Barnes was in the 59th year of his age. The burial service was held at the residence of the deceased, Rev. C. H. DeWolfe officiating. Many of our citizens went to join the large concourse of friends who gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed, and offer sympathy and condolence to the afflicted family. His much respected widow and children while bowed down with grief under this great affliction, do not sorrow as do those who have no hope in Christ, but are comforted by the assurance of a blessed reunion with the husband and father gone before. (Owatonna Journal, June 9, 1882, p. 3)17. Mr. Joseph Barnes, brother of Mr. J.H. Barnes, of East Prairie, On the morning of the 16th, went to the barn to attend to the stock, where he was found in a short time after by another member of the family who conveyed the sad news to the house that Uncle Joseph was dead. It is prooably a case of heart decease, as he left the house apparently in his usual good health. (The People's Press, Feb. 20, 1885)

Notes;
1. Settlement in Delft began in 1806 when Martin Owens, Abel Ames, Joseph B. Ames, Ebenezer Loomis and Sylvanus Allen located their farms in the township. The land was purchased for $2 or $2.50 an acre. These early settlers cut down the trees and constructed log dwellings. They most likely had a team of oxen, since they were the most economical beasts of burden. Rather than wagons, sleds were more useful in the timber strewn terrain, not only in the late winter and early spring, but also when the ground was bare. Possessions would have included a feather bed, a couple of splint bottom chairs, some crude table service, two iron pots, a gun for hunting and a few items of linsey-woolsey clothing. On arrival they brought some provisions such as flour, a side of pork and potatoes.
Three of these early residents moved away: Martin Owens to Wisconsin in 1847, Ebenezer Loomis to Cicero in 1830 and Sylvanus Allen to Lysander in 1841. Allen returned to West Monroe 1854 and died in 1865 at the home of one of his sons.(Information was obtained from the Historical & Statistical Gazetteer of New York State, R. P. Smith, Publisher, Syr., 1860, by J. H. French.)2. "The first settlers in West Monroe were Martin Owen and four others. Martin came from Fabius, Onondoga Co in 1806 and located on what is now the Julius Beardsley farm where he remained until 1847 when he moved to WI"; another history of Oswego Co states that he conducted a hotel at West Monroe for some years which agrees with the family tradition that he drilled his company in the square in front of his hotel (Mrs. Leona Powers Chapman) [letter from her in military records]; [this info apparently from military file] Fabius & Tully were included in Pompey (now LaFayette); served in the War of 1812, Capt Martin Owen's Co, Maj Jonathan Parkhurst's Batt, NY.

Lennon, has suffered intense agony through her head and in her right eye, which became so excruciating that she was obliged to resort to opiates. The pain growing worse all the time, she visited seven physicians but to no avail. Gradually she began to lose her sight of the eye and about six weeks ago she became stone blind in it. At last her daughter prevailed upon her to call upon Dr. Doty, of Owatonna, and after the fourth treatment she could see light, and after the ninth she could discern the features of a person. The pain is all gone, she sleeps well and rejoices in a speedy: recovery. Considering her age of 66 it is a miracle. (The People's Press, Sept. 1, 1899)

S. 1831. Rosa Flake, of Sunnyside, Wash., applied for pension (No. 815113) as the widow of Levi Flake, who served as a private in Company A, Tenth Regiment Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. Her application was rejected on the ground that she could not prove her title as soldier’s legal widow by proving the death or divorce of a former husband.
The military records show that Levi Flake enlisted in above organization August 14, 1862, and was honorably discharged August 19, 1865, having served over three years. He was pensioned under the general law at $4 per month from March 4, 1882, and $6 from May 14, 1890, for disease of eyes and injury of right clavicle and left knee, which originated in the service. On July 14, 1890, he was pensioned under the act of June 27, 1890, at $12 per month, granted him on account of total inability to earn a support by manual labor. He died September 18, 1904.
The evidence shows that claimant and soldier were duly and ceremonially married March 23, 1876, and that they lived and cohabitated together as husband and wife until soldier’s death. Soldier had been previously married and it is shown that his first wife died July 14, 1875. The claimant had been twice previously married, first on February 22, 1849, to one, Charles Wesley Warwick, served in the Mexican War and was honorably discharged. He enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War and the official records show that he deserted at Huntsville, Ala., March 14, 1865.
Claimant states that she heard that her first husband Warwick had died in Cincinnati, Ohio, about 1865, or 1866 and believing him to be dead married April 21, 1870, her second husband John Eichler, who, as before stated, died July 21, 1874. It appears, however, that Warwick did not die until January, 1907, that after his desertion from the Army in March, 1865, he remained in Alabama or Tennessee, twice remarried and was for a long time confined in an insane asylum. He was a man of bad repute, was guilty of much crime and deserted his second wife as he had done his first wife, the claimant under this bill.
It is beyond doubt that Warwick never returned to his first wife, the claimant, after his service in the Army, and that claimant had no knowledge whatever of him or his whereabouts after the war. That he had no intention of returning to her and considered his marital relations with her terminated is evidenced by his twice remarrying after his desertion of her.
It appears that claimant married the soldier believing her first husband to be dead and that she was capable of entering into the marital contract. Prior to such marriage she had been once married and widowed. She lived with the soldier from the time of their marriage and was his recognized wife for upward of 28 years. Soldier in his reply to the marriage circular from the Pension Bureau in July, 1898, recognized claimant as his lawful wife.
Claimant is about 87 years of age and evidence accompanying the bill shows that she is an invalid and confined to her bed, also that she is very poor and without means of any kind for her support.
Your committee recognize this claimant as the soldier’s lawful widow and report the bill favorably with recommendation for pension at $25 per month, which is the rate she would now be receiving had her claim been allowed at the Pension Bureau.

3. Deserted the Army in March, 1865.
4. Pension Records; (Partial): "It appears, however, that Warwick did not die until January, 1907, that after his desertion from the Army in March, 1865, he remained in Alabama or Tennessee, twice remarried and was for a long time confined in an insane asylum. He was a man of bad repute, was guilty of much crime and deserted his second wife as he had done his first wife, the claimant under this bill.
It is beyond doubt that Warwick never returned to his first wife, the claimant, after his service in the Army, and that claimant had no knowledge whatever of him or his whereabouts after the war. That he had no intention of returning to her and considered his marital relations with her terminated is evidenced by his twice remarrying after his desertion of her." (S. 1831. Rosa Flake, of Sunnyside, Wash.)5. Misfortunes of a Veteran

Warwick has petitioned the Superior Court to be appointed guardian of Charles Wesley Warwick, a veteran of the late Civil War, who, on account of age and injuries, has become incompetent to manage his own affairs.

Mrs. Lois Warwick, Formerly of This City, Gowned in $20 Pieces, Insane
[ Special Dispatch to The Call ]
FERGUS FALLS. Minn.. July 6.—An insane woman dressed almost in rags. $12,000 sewed up in her skirts, was taken in charge by Sheriff Billings of this county today. Miss Lois Warwick. 75 years old, is alleged to have created a disturbance on the Great Northern eastbound oriental limited train from the Paclflo coast today and as it was believed that she was mentally unbalanced, the conductor put her off here and turned her over to the Fergus Falls authorities. She was taken to the detention ward at the county jail and a casual examination of her clothing resulted In the finding of $480 securely sewed up in a piece of cloth, a diamond ring, two loose diamonds and another precious stone were found sewed up in another pocket, and besides this she had a certificate for $2,000 worth of stock in the Rex crude oil company and about $225 in bills.
She said that she was for years engaged in millinery and dress making in San Francisco and had saved up a large amount of money, but was burned out in the big fire. She then went to Everett, Wash., where she had relatives. These relatives, she says, were determined to get her money, and did get some of It. She says that she turned over $2,000 to them. They were constantly demanding more, according to her story, and she finally left them and started for Chicago.
The matron finally persuaded her to change her clothing and go to bed. As the matron lifted the woman's skirts she was astonished at the weight. The clothing was miserably poor, but a brief examination showed that it was a veritable gold mine. Tier after tier of $20 gold pieces were sewed up in the skirts and in a sort of sack made for the purpose, and amounted to $7,800. (San Francisco Call, July 7, 1911)8. News Notes
Fergus Falls - Miss Lois Warwick, who was taken from a train here a few days ago because she refused to show the conductor her ticket and acted queerly, was adjudged insane in the probate court.

5. OBITUARY
WARWICK.- Mildred Warwick was born in Horicon, Dodge county, Wisconsin, April 21st, 1854 and died at the home of her mother, Mrs. Flake, Richland, Minnesota, May 16th, 1892, aged 38 years. She was married in 1886 to Frederick Molm, who together with her mother and two sisters, now mourn her death. In 1888 they moved to Washington state where they resided until the autumn of 1891, when because of failing health, her physician advised a return to Minnesota where it was soon discovered that she was a victim of internal cancer, and despite the best medical skill and the loving attention of husband and friends the disease continued its deadly work until, after eight months intense suffering, death come to her relief. During those months she was enabled to surrender herself to God and during the administration of the Sacrament of Baptism, by the writer, she became consciously reconciled to her Saviour and was filled with the "peace that passeth all understanding." Her only regret was that she had not made the consecration earlier in life. She took great delight in the 14th chapter of John's gospel and was sustained to the last by the hope of going to be forever with Christ. She also found much comfort in Cowper's memorable lines:
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste
But sweet will be the flower.
On May the 18th her many friends and neighbors followed the remains to the Richland cemetery where they were deposited in hope of a glorious resurrection.

Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Bixby, eldest daughter of John and Christina Eichler, died March 24th,
1879, at her home in Aurora, Steele county, Minnesota. She was born at Lafayette, Onendagua
county, N. Y., September 27th, 1843. Came to Wisconsin with her parents, and in the year
1856, while but a girl of 13 years of age, was converted at Dell Prairie, Wisconsin, at school,
where daily prayer meetings were held, and a number of the scholars were led to the Savior by one of their associates. She united with the Baptist church at that time, and afterwards removed with the family to Geneva, Freeborn county, Minn., in 1861, and joined the Methodist Episcopal church, at Blooming Prairie, in 1862. She was married to Jacob S. Bixby, Nov. 29th, 1866. Her religious life was deep and fervent: ever ready to cheer and comfort the afflicted. When sorrow came to her own home, in the death of her two Infant children, she bore it with Christian resignation, looking forward to the glorious reunion in the resurrection morn. She had not been in firm health for years, consequently unable to attend the house of God as she would like, but the blessed Bible with its promises and encouragements was a jewel which she very much prized. I remember so vividly the last time she attended church, of expressing, publicly, her desire to live for God in such a way that she might be a help to her husband, as a help-meet. She is gone to sing the song of redemption forever. Her funeral obsequies were attended by a large concourse of people. The text for the occasion was from Heb. 13:14, “For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.” She leaves a husband and three little children to mourn her loss; but their loss is her infinite gain. Her memory to them will long continue to be “as ointment poured forth.” “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.”

Died: Sept 18, 19042. Pension Record; (Partial): "S. 1831. Rosa Flake, of Sunnyside, Wash., applied for pension (No. 815113) as the widow of Levi Flake, who served as a private in Company A, Tenth Regiment Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. Her application was rejected on the ground that she could not prove her title as soldier’s legal widow by proving the death or divorce of a former husband.
The military records show that Levi Flake enlisted in above organization August 14, 1862, and was honorably discharged August 19, 1865, having served over three years. He was pensioned under the general law at $4 per month from March 4, 1882, and $6 from May 14, 1890, for disease of eyes and injury of right clavicle and left knee, which originated in the service. On July 14, 1890, he was pensioned under the act of June 27, 1890, at $12 per month, granted him on account of total inability to earn a support by manual labor. He died September 18, 1904.
The evidence shows that claimant and soldier were duly and ceremonially married March 23, 1876, and that they lived and cohabitated together as husband and wife until soldier’s death. Soldier had been previously married and it is shown that his first wife died July 14, 1875. The claimant had been twice previously married, first on February 22, 1849, to one, Charles Wesley Warwick, served in the Mexican War and was honorably discharged. He enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War and the official records show that he deserted at Huntsville, Ala., March 14, 1865."

63. DIED IN KANSAS
Daniel Sutton, Brother to A. D. Sutton, Has Passed Away.
A. D. Sutton, the Glenbrook dairyman, has received the sad intelligence of his brothers death, which occurred near Saltville, Kansas, last Tuesday. Deceased was Mr. Sutton's eldest brother and was named Daniel C. Sutton. He reached the ripe old age of eighty-two years and was born in Canada. Some twenty years ago the deceased and his family resided on the Sutton ranch near Glenbrook, which was conducted by them for a few years, after which they moved to Kansas, where he engaged in farming. Mr, Sutton was highly respected by all who knew him and was a good man. Besides a wife, three grown children are left to mourn his loss. (The Morning Union, Jan. 19, 1902, p. 5)64. Obituary -- Daniel C. Sutton.
It is with sadness that we record the death of Daniel C. Sutton, of Round Spring, this county, which occurred on the 14th inst., at his late home. He was born in Barnston, Stanstead county, Canada, Feb. 27 1820. When he was about 18 years of age he united with the Baptist church at Barnston and was one of the charter members of that organization there and his name still remained until his death. Thus, for over 60 years, his membership with the church of his first choice was kept unbroken. He was the last, pi that band of charter members to pass away from earth's scenes to the eternal rest. He secured a good education which fitted him for a useful life together with his natural abilities and nobleness of heart. In the year 1842, on the 18th day of October, he was married to Miss Cemira Boynton, of Coventry, Vermont. To this union were born five children, of whom only three survive -- G. B. Sutton and Mrs. J, F. Robinson, of Round Spring, and Mrs. P. H. Judge, of Newell, Iowa. The aged wife also survives him and will make her future home with Mrs. J. F. Robinson. Deceased lived in Canada until Dec, 1864, when he removed to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin and in April, 1865, removed to Floyd, Iowa, where he and his family remained until Oct., 1875, when they removed to California; but, thinking that Kansas was a better place in which to establish a home and the business that was much to their liking, the family came to Round Spring in 1878 where, by industry and honesty they, have carried on the dairy and cattle business that has grown to large proportions as well as profitable business. He was always identified with the interests of his community in every way that would promote the good of his fellow men. In charities to the needy and help to the church, he was always a large giver. It was a great pleasure for him to do so. The home of which he was a member, has always been known for its broad charity and hospitality. For 23 Years he lived at his late home and his neighbors and many friends are mourning his departure. He was a man of sterling character and scorned all kinds of wrong-doing. Although not attaching himself to any organization other than the one of his first choice, yet he always attended and supported religious services wherever he resided. To the writer of this and his family he was doubly kind and many expressions of good will and encouragement came from his lips to cheer and brighten our hearts and and home. In the hearts of all will linger memory of this good man, but especially those, who knew him best. In the last few weeks of his life he suffered much in body, but the full assurance he had of his acceptance with the Lord, softened the pain. His last words to dear ones was that all was well and to his friends not present with him, messages of love were sent telling them also the same good news. Thus passed away this excellent and good husband, father and friend at the ripe old age of 81 years, 10 months and 13 days. The burial services were conducted by his old friend, Rev. B. F. McMillan, of Glasco, at the home, on the 15th inst. and the burial in Elmwood cemetery at Beloit the next day. The large attendance at these services, gave evidence of the high esteem in which deceased was held. The text chosen, for the occasion was the 90th Psalm, 10th verse. Mr. Sutton had passed beyond the "four score years." but it was largely "labor and sorrow," and at last he was "cut off " as the sheaf of ripened grain, but truly ripe for God's garner. The bereaved families extend their thanks to all who so kindly assisted in the sickness and at the funeral. (The Beloit Weekly Times, Jan. 23, 1902, p. 4)65. Death of D. C. Sutton
H.A. Harvey received news last week of the death of D.C. Sutton, which occurred at his home near Beloit, Kas., Wednesday, Jan. 15, 1902. Mr. Sutton was in his eighty-fourth year. His death was caused by heart trouble and the infirmities of old age. He suffered greatly the last few months of his life. Mr. Sutton has visited his daughter and family in our town every year for a number of years. He was well known by many of our people and was highly esteemed for his many excellent qualities. he was genial and pleasant, a man of good education and was an agreeable conversationalist. he leaves to mourn his loss his wife, who is also well advanced in years, one son and two daughters - G. B. Sutton and Mrs. J. F. Robinson of Beloit, Kas., and Mrs. P. H. Judge, of our town. (The Newell Mirror, Jan. 24, 1902, p. 5)66. Obituary
Died, at his home in Round Springs township, Mitchell county, Kansas, on the 14, day of January, 1902, Daniel C. Sutton, aged 81 years, 10 months and 13 days. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. B. F. McMillan of Glacso, at the late residence on the 15th, and the large attendance gave evidence that the deceased was held in high esteem. The burial took place the next day at Beloit in Elmwood cemetery, where the family own a beautiful plat of ground. He was born in Barnston, Stanstead county, Canada, February 27,1830. At the age of 18 he united with the Baptist church of that place as a charter member, and during all these years he continued to hold his membership there. He out lived all who were charter members of that organization in his native town. He secured a good education in his younger days which helped him to a more useful and broadened life. He was possessed with natural gifts of head and heart that made him the good citizen, the kind husband and father and the true friend and sympathizer. On the 18th day of October, 1843, he was united in marriage to Miss Cemira Boynton of Coventry, Vermont. To this union was born five children, three of which are living, Mr. Sutton and Mrs. Robinson of Round Springs, this county and Mrs. Judge of Newell, Iowa. The aged wife still survives and will make her home with her daughter Mrs. J.F. Robinson. Deceased lived in Canada until December, 1864, when he removed with his family to the United States, settling first at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, but in April 1865, removed to Floyd, Iowa. There he settled down and lived until October 1875, when he removed to California and was there until 1878, when he came to Kansas and took a claim in Round Springs township. Here he continued to live with the exception of a few months at a time when he visited in Iowa, until his final and solemn departure. It came peacefully to him for he was well prepared to go. Everything was in readiness for the departure, earthly business was all straight and the soul was clothed with the proper garments to admit him to the presence of the king. It was the going out from earthly estate to that of royalty. Deceased was a man of uprightness in all of his dealings. Many have been the praises of his good name since he came to Kansas, by all who knew him. While not a member of the local religious organization in the places he lived, yet he always assisted in the support of the cause of Christ, assisting often largely in a financial way, as well as by his attendance at services. The writer of this memorial remembers well the many kind acts performed and words spoken to cheer our hearts and home. Our intercourse was always pleasant and in the days to come we will miss him in the home where he lived and was honored and loved so dearly. The thanks of the bereaved family are extended to all who assisted in the sickness and at the funeral. (The Western Call, Jan. 24, 1902, p. 5)67. Found on the 1917 Platt Map Twnshp 9, south range 8 West of 6th principle meridian, Round Spring; 160 acres southeast part of section 25 labelled Sutton & Robinson. The 160 acre northeast part of section 36 is also labelled Sutton & Robinson.
Notes:
1. Hundredth Anniversary Marked By Barnston Township Council At Session Held Last August
On Monday, August 1, 1955, the Municipal Council of Barnston held its regular session presided over by Mayor Norbert Gosselin, with Councillors Leopold Veronneau, Emile Simoneau, Adelard Tremblay, Ernest Houle, J. E. Morin, Herve Routhier and Robert Breault, secretary treasurer. It was exactly 100 years ago to the day that the Municipality of Barnston in the County of Stanstead saw its first session of the Town Council which met in the little red schoolhouse. The six men, previously elected to form the first Municipal Council Board for the Township of Barnston who met together were A. A. Adams, Mandy T. Cushing, Oscar McConnell, Daniel Sutton, Jesse W. Heath and Alpheus Parker. Many changes have been seen in this small community since that eventful day 100 years ago. The plodding ox had given way to the iron plow, and then to the modern tractor; the crooked hand scythe had been replaced by the modern hay harvesting equipment; the tallow candle had become the tin-framed lantern and then the electric lights. But changes were not confined only to material things in a growing world, for in the short space of 100 years, the municipal government had seen some of its biggest alterations. When the six men met in the barren schoolhouse, their proceedings went something like this:
It was moved by Councillor Adams and seconded by Councillor Sutton that M. T. Cushing act as chairman pro-tem. It was then moved by Councillor Parker and seconded by Councillor McConnell that John Humphrey be appointed secretary-treasurer for the council. There was still no mayor, so Councillor McConnell and Conncillor Parker moved that Conneillor Adams act as mayor. This was carried unanimously. Mayor Adams then appointed a committee of three to select municipal valuators. The committee, consisting of Councillors Cushing, Sutton and Heath, recommended Samuel A. Humphrey. Paige Remick and Hiram Davis for valuators, which recommendation was carried by vote. These were the proceedings of the first council meeting. For the Council meeting 100 years later, under the chairmaniship of Norbert Gosselin, the
principle of its organization had changed very little, although the procedure of election has changed somewhat. At first, and for a number of years, the councillors were still elected at the same time, meanring that a new set of councillors; were all elected at one time. Consequently, this new council would know very little about the dorings or plans of the previous board. In looking over the minutes of the first meeting and the second election, it is shown that Oscar McConnell was the only councillor from the original group who was re-elected. This was eventually remedied by arranging it so that only part of the council board was elected at one time. Originally the ratepayers elected the seven councillors, who in turn elected the mayor. This procedure lasted for about 50 or 60 years. Then Quebec legislation ruled that the ratepayers would elect the mayor by public vote, as well as the six associating conncillors. History of road-building in the Township contains many interesting facts.
For the first 60 years, very little is recorded aboul the establishment of roads and bridges in the Townships, except that each settler agreed to build a road by his allotment and was to keep the same in repair. It is recorded that the Voyers, representing the Quebec government, laid out and supervised the building ot a number of roads. Two of them were the road from Stanstead Plain to Mosher Corner, and eastward to the Bartlett Clearing, a section that later was called Bickford Corner; and the road from Holland, Vt., to Compton. Que. The road from Mosher Corner was soon continued across the Township of Barnston to Charleston in Hatley Township, which was at that time a military centre. This road may have been laid out by the Voyers, but is credited to a great extent to the soldiers serving in the war of 1812 to 1815. It is spoken of as The Soldiers Road. Other roads that have played an important part in this section of the country are the one from Stanstead Township line through Fairfax, crossing the Negro River by what was called the Standish Bridge and eventually passing by Kingscroft and then on to Charleston, which is now Hatley Village; a second road of considerable consequence ran from the Stanstead line east at first ending at the Bartholomew farm, and eventually carried on to the River, later known as Coaticook. Up until the turn of the century these roads and bridges were built to accommodate oxen and horse-drawn vehicles, but early in the 20th century, powerdriven vehicles travelling the highways soon demanded wider and smoother surfaced roads, with stronger bridges. The roads have been widened and many surfaced with gravel, and the bridges made stronger with steel girders. To make it possible for municipalities to meet the demands of travel and transportation, the Quebec Government arranged it so that money could be obtained at a low rate of interest to improve the roads. In some eases they make direct grants and when the roads have been built to a certain standard, the government takes over full control and maintenance. To some it would seem impossible that the smooth surfaced road from Stanhope and Norton Mills to Magog, which was completed this year, was one hundred years ago one of the bumpiest of corduroy roads. The same road was at times spoken of as The Jiggy Road. It has been the privilege of several council boards over the term of years to grant licences to individuals to keep places of entertainment. with or without the privilege of selling intoxicating beverages. In the latter part of the 19th century the ratepayers of the Township, acting in connection with the Scott Act with its privilege of local option, voted publicly to authorize the Council Board of Barnston to refuse the granting of licences to sell intoxicating beverages anywhere in Barnston Township. The Council Board has deemed it wise to aid the needy and infirm and has in many ways served the public. This to a degree is some of the story that could be told of the municipal doings of the several Municipal Councils of Barnston Townships over one hundred years from 1855 to 1955 a story which would never have been believed by the first Board of Councillors in 1855.

This Morning Mrs. Cemira Sutton, widow of the late Daniel C. Sutton, passed peacefully away at ten minutes after four o'clock this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. F.

Sutton, of Barnston, Stanstead county, Lower Canada, In October 1842.

At 4:10 o'clock Tuesday morning the spirit of Mrs. Cemina Boynton Sutton; passed from the mortal body to that sphere of existence about which we all are wont to speculate but claim to know nothing yet each one who knew Mrs. Sutton will unhesitatingly accord to her soul a resting place of happiness and joy for the simple reason that none ever found anything but pleasure and comfort in knowing her, and that she seemed to be perfectly happy if she could make others happy. Her life from girlhood was christian in every sense of the word. A church member and a Christ-like life. Mrs. Sutton died at the home of her dauhgter, Mrs. J. F. Robinson, with whom she has lived for many years. Until the latter part of last week, Mrs. Sutton never knew what it was to be sick; during the eleven years she had lived in Beloit, Sunday morning was the first time she did not breakfast with the family at their table. Death was the result of advanced years, nothing else. Cemira Boynton, was born in Coventry, Orleans county, Vt, on July 6th, 1823, where she made her home until Oct. 1842, when she was married to Daniel C. Sutton, of Barnston, Stanstead, Canada, in the province of Quebec. The Suttons made their home in Canada until 1864, when they removed to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, where they lived until they moved to Floyd, Iowa, the following spring. They made their home in Iowa until 1879, coming in March of that year to Round Springs township, Mitchell county, Kansas, home-steading what ultimately developed into the Sutton-Robinson ranch now operated by her son, G. B. Sutton, and her son-in-law, J. F. Robinson. Her husband died in January, 1901, and was buried in the Elmwood cemetery in this city. In the spring following her husband's death, Mrs. Sutton and the Robinson family came to Beloit to make their home. Her son, G. B. Sutton, of the firm of Sutton & Robinson, has always made his home with his mother. With Mrs. Sutton at the time of her death were three children, Mrs. P. H. Judge, of Newell, Iowa; Mrs. J. F. Robinson and G. B. Sutton, of Beloit. The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church; she joined that body in Iowa and retained her membership. She was originally a Congregationalist.

Her life from girlhood was christian in every sense of the word. A church Pedigreed member and a Christ-like life. Mrs. Sutton died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. F. Robinson.

22. AMONG OLD FRIENDS
Enough Mitchell County People Live in Pasadena, Calif., to Make the Atmosphere of a Home-Like Nature to Visitors from Beloit
This office was pleased to receive a letter today from J. F. Robinson, who, with his wife and brother-in-law, G. B. Sutton, are spending the winter in Pasadena, Calif. As will be noticed in the letter which we take pleasure in publishing, the visitors from Beloit are meeting many old friends from Mitchell county, who are either, like themselves, sojourners in Pasadena, or are making that city their permanent place of residence. However, we will let Mr. Robinson tell the story in his own words, which are as follows:
Pasadena, Calif., Feb. 3, 1914.
Mr. A. B. Adamson, Beloit, Kas.
Dear friend; - I have had it in mind for some time to fulfil the promise made to you, while visiting at Oroville, Calif., of writing to you when we had reached the place where we were to sojourn for the remainder of the winter, and notwithstanding the fact that we have been in Pasadena about seven weeks … [he continues to lengthy discuss his sights and attendance at an annual Kansas picnic at Long Beach] (The Beloit Daily Call, Feb. 12, 1914, p. 7)

It was thought by his family and friends that this was his last illness. Mrs. Judge's health was not such as to permit her going to see her brother. The news of Mr. Sutton's dangerous illness will be received with genuine sorrow by his many friends in Newell. Mrs. Gladys Harvey Hoch of Storm Lake is assisting in the store during the absence of her parents. (The Newell Mirror, May 16, 1918, p. 5)

28. In Memoriam
Greenleaf Boynton Sutton was born July 10, 1849, at Barnston, in the province of Quebec, Canada, and fell asleep at 5:40, Sunday morning, May 19, 1918, in Beloit, Kansas, aged 68 years, 10 months and 10 days. At the age of 14 years, he came with his parents and family to Iowa. For three years, from 1875 until 1878 he lived in Nevada City, California, when he returned to Iowa and in 1879 came to Mitchell county, Kansas, and with Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, settled on what is known as the Sutton & Robinson ranch. Here they lived until together they moved to the city of Beloit, in 1902. In October of 1901 he was married to Miss Jennie L. Austin of Middletown, Conn. Mrs. Sutton died within a year, on June 15, 1902. He leaves his two sisters, Mrs. J. F. Robinson, with whom he lived all his life, and Mrs. P. H. Judge of Newell, Iowa, one niece, Mrs. H. A. Harvey of Newell, Iowa; one nephew, H. E. Judge of Sioux Falls, S. D., together with many relatives in Canada and California. He was converted and joined the methodist Episcopal church in 1884. He loved his Christ supremely and was very fond of his church. He was always at the place of worship when it was possible for him to get there and as long as he was able to go. He loved the worship of God and was especially fond of male quartet music. He is gone, Earth is poorer, but heaven is richer. To know him was to admire and love him. He has joined the loved ones gone before. He fully expected to meet them. He is now waiting for those still here. The funeral services over the remains of the deceased gentleman will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Methodist church, the Rev. G. W. Martin, pastor of the church, conducting the services. Interment of the remains will be made in Elmwood cemetery. (The Beloit Daily Call, May 23, 1918, p. 7)

2. A Gift
The members of the Beloit Horseshoes association were carried back in retrospection to old-times yesterday, when they were notified by H. S. White, the treasurer, of the receipt of a gift of one dollar to the organization from Mrs. J. F. Robinson, a gift which she offered in memory of her brother, Greenleaf Sutton, an old resident of Beloit, who, after many battles on the old pitching grounds back of what was formerly Wlliams' Gun Shop, was worthily called to the joys of Heaven, about two years ago. The younger generation will not remember Mr. Sutton very clearly, but the writer had the pleasure and honor, just after his high school days, of being admitted to that circle of gentlemen who never thought a shoe very close pitched unless it fell a ringer. He remembers him as a sportsman of the highest order and can easily recall several instances when, as that expert's partner he made one point, while Mr. Sutton scored the other twenty necessary to win. Love such as that, gentleman had for the game for its own sake is the spirit that makes any contest worth while. Some time before his death, Mr. Sutton conceived the idea of combining the unorganized pitchers in the vicinity into cohesive association and the result was the formation of Beloit Horseshoe association. From its inception and until his death he acted as its treasurer. The members of the association desire to thank Mrs. Robinson for her kindly remembrance. They believe that were Mr. Sutton still living her act woud have the stamp of his highest approval. (The Beloit Daily Call, June 12, 1920, p. 1)Greenleaf married Jennie L. Austin on 22 Sep 1901 in Beloit, Mitchell Co., KS. Jennie was born on 4 Aug 1860 in Floyd, Floyd Co., IA. She died on 20 Jun 1902 in Beloit, Mitchell Co., KS. She was buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Beloit, Mitchell Co., KS (I).
1. Daughter of William A. Austin and Lucinda Butterfield.
- Died, on the 2d day of August, 1896, in Lincoln, Kansas, Judge William A. Austin, well known in Mitchell county, aged 65 years, 8 months, 16 days. Deceased was born December 16, 1831, in Newport, Rhode Island, but lived most of his life in Providence, that state. He removed with his family to Lincoln, Kansas, eleven years ago and had a continuous residence there until his death. He held the offices of police, judge and justice of the peace, also that of city clerk, for a number of years with credit and ability, and was known as just in the arduous duties of each of them. He was universally beloved by all and the large attendance at the funeral gave evidence of the high esteem in which he was held. Many were the expressions of respect and sympathy shown the bereaved wife and daughter who survive him. He was a member of the Masonic order and was buried according to the beautiful ritual of that society. The burial took place at the Lincoln cemetery, on the 3d inst. Rev. B. F. McMillan preached the funeral sermon from the text, "If a man die, shall he live again?" The desire on the part of man to live eternally and the promise of Holy Writ that he would if he made Christ his only hope, was dwelt upon in particular. A number of old-time friends of the family from Mitchell county were also present at the funeral. Deceased leaves behind a wife and two daughters, Miss Jennie, now at home, and Mrs. W. H. Fagan, and also a sister, the last two living in Middleton, Conn., and who could not be present at the funeral. Mrs. James M. Burnham, of Beloit, Kansas, who is a sister of the bereaved wife, could not be present with her words of comfort in the dark hour of sorrow. The life of the deceased was a busy one and he will be missed not only in the home, but also in the business of this life. He was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church at the time of his death.

- RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE.
Whereas: It has pleased the Supreme Architect of the universe to remove from our midst our late brother William A. Austin and
Whereas: It is but just that a fitting recognition of his many virtues should be had. Therefore, be it.
Resolved, By Lincoln Lodge, No, 154, on the register of the grand lodge of Kansas of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, that while we bow in humble submission to the will of the Most High, we do not the less sincerely mourn for our brother who has been taken from us.
Resolved, That in the death of brother William A. Austin we lament the loss of a brother who was ever ready to proffer the hand of aid and the voice of sympathy to the needy and destitute; a friend and brother who was dear to us all. One who never permitted his physical sufferings or business cares to tinge with gloom his hearty and cheerful greeting, but who at all times reflected the sunshine in his heart upon those about him. A citizen whose upright and noble life was a standard of emulation to his fellows. A brother who remembered his obligation to his family, to his neighbor and to his god.
Resolved, That the heartfelt sympathy of the members of Lincoln Lodge, No. 154. be extended his family in their bereavement and sorrow. That a properly engrossed copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the family of the deceased brother, that a copy be sent to the papers of the city for publication and that this lodge room be draped in mourning lora period of 60 days. F. H. Dunham, C. M. Heaton, W. H. Cecil, Committee. (The Lincoln Sentinel, Aug, 20, 1896, p. 1)
- Mrs. W. A. Austin, Lucinda Butterfield was born in Waukegan, ILL., August 22, 1838, and when a young girl came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Butterfield, to Floyd, Floyd county, Iowa, in the early fifties, where she resided until after her marriage to W. A. Austin, and while there their children, Gussie and Jennie were born. In 1861 the Austin family moved to Providence, Rhode Island, where they resided for a number of years, and then moved to Middletown, Conn., where they lived until the fall of 1879 when the family moved to Round Springs township, Mitchell county, for the purpose of caring for her parents, who moved there in 1875. Here her mother died, shortly after their arrival, and her father made his home there until he passed away about two years later. From Round Springs township the Austins moved to Lincoln, Kansas, where they resided for a period of about two years when the husband and father died. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Austin and her daughter, Jennie, moved back to Middletown, Conn., where the oldest daughter, Gussie, lived. After their return to Middletown, the oldest daughter died and in 1901 Mrs. Austin and Miss Jennie returned to Kansas and took up their residence in Beloit. In June, 1902, Jennie died, and Mrs. Austin went to the home of her sister, Mrs. James Burnham, who was in poor health, and she cared for her until her death, which occurred in 1905. After the death of her sister, she kept house for Mr. Burnham until his death in 1913. The following year she accompanied Mr. and Mrs. W. S. McCleary to Filer, Idaho, where she was tenderly cared for by Mrs. McCleary until she was called home on December 4, 1916. The remains were brought to Beloit, Kansas, and tenderly laid to rest in Elmwood cemetery, on December 9th. (Dec 1916)

6. Obit: Jennie Austin Sutton was born August 4, 1860, at Floyd, Iowa; removed with the family when only six months old to Providence, R. I., and in 1879 removed to Mitchell county, Kansas. In 1886 she removed with her parents to Lincoln, Kansas, and lived there until 1897. During this residence at Lincoln the family was called upon to mourn the loss of the husband and father in August, 1896. In the following spring deceased and her mother removed to Middletown, Conn., to be near to, and assist in the care of, an invalid daughter and sister living at that place. A short time after her death the mother and daughter returned to Kansas and made their home together in Beloit, and had a residence here most of the time until the death of this last surviving daughter, which occurred on last Sabbath night, the 15th day of June, 1902, She was unusually bright the day before her death. Of her home and heart life much can be said to lead us to love and honor her memory. Her sun went down while it was yet day, but a halo of celestial light lingers to drive away to some extent at least, the darkness and gloom that this sudden departure has brought to all hearts who knew her only to love her. The end came so unexpected to the husband and mother that it was a shock to them and their many friends. Deceased was united in marriage on the 22d day of September, 1901, to Mr. Greenleaf B. Sutton, with whom she had lived a happy life for the short time of only eight months and twenty-three days. The joys of married bliss had, as it were, just begun when death, the despoiler, wrecked the bright dream of life. One thought comes to us today to bring relief to wounded hearts, and that is, she was a true Christian. She united while at Lincoln, Kansas, with the Presbyterian church there, and after concluding to make a permanent homo in Beloit she with her mother, Mrs. Austin, was expecting to unite with the First Presbyterian church in Beloit, Rev. Louis H. Shane, pastor, from a little child she was of a religious turn of mind, and it grew more intense with the years as they came. The writer of this memorial knew her for the past twenty-two years, and brings his humble and loving tribute to her memory. In faith and good work she was a bright example, and in mind she was brilliant, thus making her a recognized leader in the good society in which she moved, and in church work abundant whenever opportunity presented itself. She was a devoted daughter, a kind and loving wife and. a true friend to all who knew her. Thus passed away one who will be missed by all who knew her in life; but what is our sorrow is her joy, and our loss, her eternal gain. The funeral services were held at the home. Rev. Louis H. Shane, the pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Beloit, conducting the services, assisted by Rev. B. F. McMillan, of Glasco, Kansas, who read the memorial of her life. There was large attendance at the funeral, and the floral and other tributes, among which was the "Eastern Star," representing the order, bore evidence of the high esteem in which the deceased was held. The burial took place in Elmwood cemetery on the 18th inst., the grave so trimmed and decorated that it was more like a paradise than a grave. B. F. McMillan.

Lower Canada, In The Queen's Bench, Appelant Side: Alba Wyman, Plaintiff, Appelant; Alexander Edson, Defendant, Respondent.
Appellant's Factum
This was an action in the Circuit Court, Stanstead. The demande was for damages, £50, for unlawfully taking away a quantity of manure and certain fixtures from a certain parcel of land being north half of south half of lot 4, in second range Barnston, of which appellant was proprietor. Appellant bought the land in queston of respondent 25th October, 1856. Notarial copy of deed filed. Respondent, by verbal understanding, remained in occupation till ensuing spring, when he left. On leaving, respondent removed all the manure accumulated on the farm prior to the deed, as well as the manure made by his own stock during the winter subsequent to the deed. The judgment of the Honorable Edward Short in the Circuit Court at Stanstead, on 4th May, 1859, rejected appellant's demande so far as the same related to the manure -- old as well as new -- and simply gave judgment for the value of a sink attached to the farm house removed
by respondent. The judgment is in the following terms :
" The Court having, &c., doth adjudge and condemn said defendant to pay to said plaintiff seven shillings and sixpence currency for damages, occasioned by taking away and removal by defendant of a sink belonging to said plaintiff, attached to the farm house and premises mentioned and described in plaintiff's declaration in this cause filed, with interest and costs of suit. As to the rest of Plaintiff's demande, the Court doth hereby dismiss the same considering that the old manure, namely, that made on the premises prior to the purchase thereof by said plaintiff, was taken away by defendant with the permission and consent of said plaintiff; that the new manure, namely, that made after the said purchase, being the produce of the cattle and stock of said defendant, the said plaintiff had no right or title to whatsoever; and that said plaintiff has failed to establish by legal evidence any of the wrongs complained of in his said declaration save the taking away of the sink aforesaid."
