14. Equine Strategy -— The Nevada Transcript of February 10th is responsible for the following : P. Sutton, who resides upon a ranch about two miles from town, rode into the city on last Wednesday evening for the purpose of attending service. He tied his horse in an out of the way place and went into the Methodist Church. After service he returned to the place where be tied the horse and found the animal missing. He went home on foot and retired to rest satisfied that the animal was stolen. When he went out in the morning his horse was quietly grazing in the yard. He was saddled and bridled as he left him, but he carried in addition three shoulders of bacon suspended from the pommel of the saddle. Such a horse is worth having. It is probable that the owner of the bacon is the fellow who rode the horse off; but we doubt if the thief could "save his bacon" even if he made application to Sutton. We suppose that the horse by a "strategic movement" on the road compelled his unknown rider to suddenly "change his base" from the saddle to the mud, and carried off the bacon in triumph. It was an act of horse-tility which the rogue deserved. (Sacramento Daily Union, Feb. 11, 1865)

P. Sutton died night before last at the residence of R. E. Robinson in this city. He had been ill for some two weeks, and during the last week had been in a state of unconsciousness. His wife went to Canada four weeks ago, and he was to follow her there this month. A letter was written to her after he was stricken down saying he was ill and unable to travel, but she did not know of the seriousness of his condition till yesterday when she received a telegram announcing his death and inquiring as to what deposition should be made of his remains. Up to a late hour yesterday afternoon the question had not been definitely settled, but it was thought that the burial would take place here.
Mr. Sutton was in all respects a model citizen, and his death will be mourned throughout the wide circle of his acquaintances. He bore a reputation for integrity and industry that was above reproach.
He was born in Canada in 1823, and in 1850 came Nevada county. He mined here till 1852 and then went back to Canada, where he engaged in farming and boot and shoe manufacturing until 1857, in which year he returned to this county. He has been principally engaged in farming, his farm consisting of 280 acres of land being midway between this place and Grass Valley. For two years he conducted a grocery store at this city. About three years ago he went to Canada, and last summer came back here. He was married in 1865 to Miss Agnes, daughter of James Fraser of this city. Mrs. Sutton and two daughters survive him. (The Daily Transcript (Nevada City) Sept. 29, 1887, p. 3)37. A Pioneer's Death

The Nevada County Land and Improvement Association on Saturday purchased from Mrs. P. Sutton the famous Sutton Ranch on Glenbrook avenue between this city and Grass Valley. The Association propose to subdivide the property into twenty and forty acre lots and handle them in connection with the proposed new hotel at Ismert’s Grove and the electric railroad to be built between this city and Grass Valley. The ranch consists of 200 acres of as good land as there is in the foothills. All of it is fenced and the major portion is under cultivation. From a fifteen acre lot 75 tons of clover was cut last year. There is a large amonnt of free water on the place, and the South Yuba Company’s system of irrigation ditches reach the highest portions. There is a good dwelling house, a barn and other buildings. A warm belt extends through that section, and taken all in all the place is one of the most desirable in this part of the State.—Transcript.

Mr. A. D. Sutton is the brother of the late Philander Sutton, the father of Miss Margaret Sutton, of the Derby Line post office clerical staff. Miss Sutton was willing that we should publish the following letter she received from her uncle. Comment is quite unnecessary and we publish it for its effect upon the "old timer" class, those who were dishonest and have so far failed to return their stealings with interest.
Nevada City, Cal.
Mr. A. D. Sutton, Dear sir;
Many years ago, while you and your brother were in the
grocery business, I defrauded you out of fifteen dollars.
I now return you thirty dollars to make amends as much
as possible for my dishonesty. I trust you will make it all
right with your brother's family.

The school building to which reference is made, and which bears a somewhat
“far-fetched” appellation, is an old landmark and received its name from the fact that it was erected by the late Philander Sutton, of Barnston, a son of the late Joshua Sutton, one of
the early pioneers of Stanstead county, upon his return from a stay of several years in the Golden State. (Sherbrooke Daily Record, July 31, 1917, p. 2)4. Hatley

SUTTON—In Saratoga, Santa Clara county, July 16, 1919, Mrs. Agnes Sutton, formerly of Nevada City, Nevada county, a native of Quebec, Canada, aged 72 years. (Sacramento Union, 20 July 1919)25. Hatley
The death of Miss Agnes Winn Fraser, of California, widow of the late Philander Sutton, formerly of Barnston, is much regretted by former friends and co-workers in this place, who, in past years, were assisted by her in the temperance work of Stanstead county, in which the late Mrs. Sutton always took a prominent part. (Sherbrooke Daily Record, July 30, 1919, p. 2)26. Obit: MRS. PHILANDER SUTTON
Saratoga, Calif., July 19 - (Special Correspondence) - Mrs. Agnes Frazer Sutton, mother of Miss Margaret Sutton, a former resident of Derby Line, died here last Wednesday night, at 10:30 o'clock, of hardening of the arteries. She had been seriously ill since last November, and her daughter was in almost constant attendance to the end. The remains were taken by Miss Sutton to Nevada City, Calif., where the final funeral services were held Saturday afternoon. Interment was made in the family lot where Mrs. Sutton's husband, Philander Sutton, a native of Stanstead, Que., was buried thirty-two years ago. Miss Sutton is greatly in need of rest and will remain a short time with her aunt, Mrs. Victor Sauvee, who lives near Nevada City, before returning to Saratoga. Mrs. Agnes Fraser Sutton was born near Beebe, Stanstead, Que., Feb. 16, 1847. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. James Fraser. Her father came to California in the early days. When ten years old Mrs. Sutton came to California from Beebe with her mother, by way of the Isthmus of Panama. Two months were required to make the journey. The family settled in Nevada City, but for a considerable period Mrs. Sutton made her home in San Francisco with an Uncle, and attended school. In 1865, Mrs. Sutton was married to Philander Sutton at Nevada City. It was a remarkable coincidence that although Mr. and Mrs. Sutton both were born in Stanstead they knew nothing of each other until they met in California, 3,000 miles or more from the place of their birth. From this union came four children. The two sons were killed in accidents. It was another coincidence that the accidents were similar - arising from the hauling of wood. There were two daughters, Mary and Margaret. Mary died in 1903 at Coaticook, Que., where the family has settled in 1883. Margaret, the surviving daughter, left Derby Line in 1914 with Miss Mary Chase. After Margaret and Mary selected Saratoga for a home, Mrs. Sutton came to live with them. In addition to her daughter Margaret, Mrs. Sutton is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Phil Goyne, and Mrs. Victor Sauvee, who reside near Nevada City. Mrs. Sutton was a woman of great intellect and physical energy. Prior to losing her health she was prominent in Y.M.C.A work. (Stanstead Journal, Jul. 31, 1919)

2. ELIZABETH M. SAUVEE — In writing the biographical history of Placer and Nevada Counties we find that they retain within their confines a greater number of pioneer families and their descendants than perhaps any other two counties in the State, and it is decidedly interesting to compile their life stories, to find where the families originated and what blood has gone into the upbuilding of these more rugged, and from necessity more enduring characters. In most instances their forebears came into the State during the early days, when GOLD was the talisman beckoning adventurous spirits from all corners of the globe to come here and try their hand at mining for the precious metal; and the more sturdy among them, the ones who stayed and did their share toward giving our wonderful State its start toward prosperity, are the ones whose family names are still found on the honor roll of the State’s citizenship. Elizabeth M. Sauvee was born on December 9, 1861, in Nevada County, on the old Fraser homestead, four miles from Nevada City, the daughter of James and Catherine (Geddes) Fraser, both natives of Scotland. James Fraser was born in 1821, and remained there until 1831, when his parents migrated to Canada, and there engaged in farming. In 1852, he came to Nevada County, via Panama, and engaged in mining until 1860; he then located on the place where Mrs. Sauvee was born, and farmed thereafter during the balance of his active life. His marriage had united him with Catherine Geddes, and six children were born to them, two of them now living, our subject and her sister, Mrs. Sarah Goyne, of Nevada City, who was born in November, 1849. Elizabeth M. Sauvee was reared on the home ranch, and educated in the rural schools of Nevada County, and in November, 1905, at Sacramento, occurred her marriage to Victorien Sauvee, a native of Brittany, France, where he was born on July 22, 1850, the son of Francis and Maria Sauvee. Francis Sauvee was a baker by trade, and he came to California in the fifties and settled in Grass Valley. In 1861 his wife and family followed him to Grass Valley, where the home was made from that time on; four children comprised their family: Victorien, Alcide, Alexander, and Marguerite.

3. Nevada City Pioneer Gone
Another of the beloved old-guard whose memories ran back to the early days of the California gold fields died recently in Nevada City. She was Mrs. Sarah Goyne who was born in Stanstead, Canada, in 1849, the daughter of Scotch Highlanders, James and Catherine Fraser. It was from them that she inherited the sturdy strength of character, the rugged honesty and the directness of purpose that distinguished her in California history. Her father was one of the pioneers of Nevada City, interested in the gravel mines and properties near Selby Flat and the family was established at the old Fraser Ranch near Blue Tent. It was here in the picturesque environment of California's placer mining that Sarah Goyne spent her girlhood. School teachers in that day were scarce and the need for instruction great. So she found employment at various district schools at Willow Valley, at Rough and Ready and finally at Omega. While she was a school marm she met and married Philip Goyne, a young English miner and musician who was the leader of the miners' band. Later the family moved to Nevada City where Goyne was to distinguish himself in musical circles. (Oakland Tribune, May 5, 1929)
They had the following children:
93 F i Mary Sutton was born 1 on 12 Apr 1866 in Nevada City, Nevada Co., CA. She died 2 on 3 Jul 1903 in Rock Island, Stanstead Co., PQ. She immigrated in 1886 to to Canada. She was buried 3 on 5 Jul 1903 in Crystal Lake Cemetery, Stanstead, Stanstead Co., PQ. She was employed as 1891;teacher,1901;Dress Maker.

8. We regret to record the death of Miss Mary Sutton, eldest daughter of Mrs. Agnes Sutton, on
Thursday morning last. Miss Sutton has been a great sufferer for some years past with heart trouble, but was in her usual health till within a few hours of her death. She was buried on Sunday. There was a short service at the house conducted by the Rev. A. Stevens, when the body was conveyed to Stanstead for burial, Rev. Ellery Read taking charge of the burial service. (Sherbrooke Examiner, July 8, 1903)
9. Obit:
On the afternoon of Sunday, July 5th, the interment of Miss Mary Sutton, daughter of Mrs. P. Sutton of Coaticook, and only sister of Nurse Margaret Sutton, took place in the Crystal Lake Cemetery. The service which was conducted by the Rev. G. Ellery Read, was very simple; but the casket laden with flowers and the large gathering of sympathetic friends, considering the heat of the afternoon, spoke of the sympathy felt by many for the bereaved mother and sister, as well as the esteem in which the departed one was held. A short service in Mrs. Sutton's home was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Stevens before the funeral cortege left Coaticook for the long drive to Stanstead. Although Miss Sutton has suffered from heart disease for several years, her departure was not looked for at the present and when, after a few hours' suffering she suddenly and gently slipped away on Friday morning, the 3rd inst., the news came as a great shock to her large circle of relatives and friends. The father of the deceased was P. Sutton, a native of Barnston, who when a young man went to California, where he owned for many years a fruit ranch in Nevada county. There in a land of fruit and flowers, surrounded by the picturesque beauty of the foothills Mary and Margaret were born and resided until in their teens when, upon their father's death, they settled in Coaticook, Mary Sutton had a nature of unusual reserve and dignity, with a mind of exeptional quality. She was respected by a large circle who admired her gentle and upright Christian character, and held very dear by the ever small inner circle who are able to know intimately. Much sympathy is felt for the mother and sister in their loneliness. (Stanstead Journal, July 23, 1903)94 F ii Margaret "Maggie" Christie Sutton was born on 23 Feb 1868 in Nevada Co., CA. She died 1 on 17 Jan 1941 in Saratoga, Santa Clara Co., CA. Margaret was employed as 1891;teacher,1900;Attendant, 1910;Post office clerk.

Mr. A. D. Sutton is the brother of the late Philander Sutton, the father of Miss Margaret Sutton, of the Derby Line post office clerical staff. Miss Sutton was willing that we should publish the following letter she received from her uncle. Comment is quite unnecessary and we publish it for its effect upon the "old timer" class, those who were dishonest and have so far failed to return their stealings with interest.
Nevada City, Cal.
Mr. A. D. Sutton, Dear sir;
Many years ago, while you and your brother were in the
grocery business, I defrauded you out of fifteen dollars.
I now return you thirty dollars to make amends as much
as possible for my dishonesty. I trust you will make it all
right with your brother's family.

The funeral was held in St. Peter’s Church,Cookshire, at 10 o’clock on Monday morning, where a requiem service was held, after which the body was taken to Waterville and laid to rest in the cemetery there beside her late husband. The Woman’s Auxiliary, of which Mrs. Robertson was president for a good many years, and the Junior Auxiliary, turned out in a body to the funeral. The floral offerings were beautiful, among them a large cross of blue and white forget-menots, from the Woman’s Auxiliary. Mrs. Robertson was also president of the Homemakers’ Club last year, and was a member of the Woman's Patriotic Society, in both of which she will be greatly missed. When in good health she seemed tireless, in any work pertaining to the welfare of the country or community. Relatives from outside attending the funeral were her cousin, Mrs. Wiggett, of Lennoxville; Mr. and Mrs. John Robertson, of North Hatley, and Mr. J. Robertson and daughter of Montreal.

2. "The Bishops College missions of Sand Hill and Johnville were attached to the parish of Eaton; and the Rector, with his assistant, Mr. Thos. Lloyd, had the pastoral charge of the townships of Eaton and Newport, with five churches. In September, 1887, the Rev. Alex. Hume Robertson, of Bishops College, replaced Mr. Lloyd as assistant to Mr. Judge. On January 1, 1888, Mr. Judge left Cookshire for New York. The township of Newport was then detached from Eaton and formed into a new mission with Mr. Robertson as rector of Eaton. Mr. Falconer resigned on account of ill health May 25, 1890.
On October 1, 1890, the Rev. Alex H. Robertson became rector of Eaton. When the church at Eaton Corner was burnt, in 1828, services there were given up. After an interval of sixty-five years, Rev. Mr. Robertson, at the request of the church people in Eaton Corner, agreed to hold a service there on Sunday afternoons. A congregation was organized. In December, 1894, a building was purchased and fitted up as a mission chapel. It was dedicated on October 3, 1895, by Right Rev. Bishop Dunu, under the name of St. Andrew's Chapel. Upon the death of Hon. J. H. Pope, a legacy of $4,000 was left to the church, the interest of which is to augment the clergyman's stipend.
Rev. Alex. H. Robertson, the present incumbent, was born in Glasgow, Scotland. Came to Canada in 1864, and lived in Montreal, studied at McGill and took his divinity course at Bishops College, Lennoxville. He was ordained in 1887." (p. 70, History of Compton County)
Christ's church, Island Brook—This church is a wooden structure, consisting of nave and chancel. It was built in 1875, the principal movers in the work of building being Messrs. S. Wood, Wm. Dawson, R. H. Wilford and James Weston. The Rev. K. C. Parkin was missionary of this district at the time. The cost of the building was upwards of $ 1,000. It has just been thoroughly renovated inside, and is now a very pretty and thoroughly churchly structure. Messrs. Geo. W. L. French and R. H. Wilford are the present wardens, and the Rev. A. H. Moore, B.A., is the incumbent. Past incumbents: Revs. H. C. Parkin, A. H. Judge, A. H. Robertson, T. Rudd, and H. A. Dickson, M. A.

The Churchwardens report: The Lord Bishop of the Diocese nominated the Rev. A. H. Robertson, Rector ol'Durham, and the Jiev. Canon Foster, M.A., Rector oif Coaticook, as Chaplains at Cacouna, for the Summer of 1890.
The Rev. A. H. Robertson conducted the services from Sunday, the 29th June, and the Rev. Canon Foster from Sunday, the 3rd August to Sunday, the 31st August. Morning-Prayer, or Litany,was said dailyin the Church, and early Communion celebrated on St. James' Day. (p. 52)
DURHAM
The Rev. A. H. Robertson reports: The Parish of Durham is now without a Clergyman, as I left there at the end of September, for Cookshire, after a stay of two years and three months. I left Durham with great regret, and I must thank all my friends there for their hearty unvarying kindness to me and mine. There is but little to report in about nine months of
quiet parish work. All the services were kept up with the exception of a Sunday or two last winter, when the clergyman and many of his parishioners were laid up with "La Grippe." At Kirkdale there was a celebration of Holy Communion
every Saints day or festival, in addition to the usual monthly celebration. The Sunday School was kept up under Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Trenholme; and Miss Stevens was a very efficient organist.
At L'Avenir Mr. McCaig kept up his Bible class and it would be a good thing if we could have such a class in every congregation. At South Durham I regret to say that a number of faithful members of the Church have left for British Columbia, and both spiritually and financially, their departure is a sad loss to the parish. I cannot close this brief report without an earnest wish that a clergyman may soon be found for this large and scattered parish. The church population are not many in numbers, but there are many Godly members among them, and their Prayers and hearty good will are a great help to their clergvman. I must also say that in financial matters, the people of Durham give most liberally according to their means and the cheerful willing way in which they contribute to the support of the C'hurch, made my residence among them very pleasant.

EATON.
The Rev. A. H. Robortson reports: As I have only been in charge of the Parish of Eaton since 1st October, I am not able to give a full report of the work of the Church in this Parish for the past year. My first regular work, after my ordination, was in the Parish of Eaton,where I was appointed Assistant to Rev. A. H. Judge,and therefore on my return to the Parsonage
of Cookshire as Rector, I did not feel that I was going among strangers. Rev. Mr. Faulconer, my predecessor,left Cookshire about the end of May, and during the Summer months Mr. Norman Bayne, of Bishop's College, acted as Lay Reader, and did his work well and to the satisfaction of the people. A Parish so large as Eaton, always sullers during a vacancy, and I trust that we may soon get into good working order again. The services are fairlv well attended, and we have good Sunday Schools at Cookshire, and at the Stations of Sandhill and Johnville. At Cookshire, the head and "chef-lien," we have Morning and Evening Service on Sunday, and special services on Saints' Days and Festivals. A good Sunday School with a Staff of earnest lady teachers, and a Woman's Guild, Women's Auxiliary, and Girls' Friendly Society in full working order. The Guild has worked quietly during the year and has raised $65 for various objects.The Women's Auxiliary meets monthly and by its means a Missionary Spirit is kept alive in the Parish. Contributions have been sent to Rev. Mr. Stuart's Indian Missions and to the Shingwauk Home. The Girls' Friendly has worked diligently during the year, under the presidency of Mrs. Trigge, and is always ready to help both in the Parish and out of it. Amongst other good works, a fence has been put round the old Parish grave yard, where so many of the old settlers lie buried. At Sandhill the Women's Guild has supplied both money and labour to paint the Church, My thanks are due to Miss Racey for her earnest and self-denying labour in the Sunday School. At Johnville our Church people along with others have refitted the Hall in which the services are held, and when completed it will be a credit to the place, and a model Hall. Next year I hope to be able to report more fully. Enclosed find financial statement, which is as near as I
can get it.

11. THE LATE RURAL DEAN ROBERTSON
Many Attend the Last Sad
Obsequies of a Beloved
Pastor at Cookshire
LORD BISHOP DUNN AND LEADING
CLERGY OF DIOCESE
ATTENDED THE SERVICE
Cookshire, May 19. —(Special)— Cookshire has never witnessed a day of such universal mourning as was evidenced on Friday when the last sad obsequies of the late Rev. Rural Dean Robertson were performed at St. Peter’s Church, his church, where he bad faithfully served for twenty-three years. Holy Convininlon was celebrated at eight o’clock in the morning as a memorial to the late Dean, his dead body, which had been lying in state in the Church adding very greatly to the occasion. À large number of communicants partook of the Sacrament, the celebrant being Rev, C. T. Lewis of Bury, assisted by Rev. I. N. R. McDonald, of Angus. The funeral service was held at one o’clock when throngs of people, in all walks of life, regardless of creed or denomination, assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to one so highly esteemed and beloved by the whole community. The sacred edifice was crowded to its utmost, the additional seats which had been supplied being insufficient to accommodate the mass of sorrowing friends. The procession entered the church headed by the following clergy, robed in their vestments: The Rt. Rev. the Lord Bishop of Quebec; the Ven. Archdeacon Balfour; the Very Rev. Dean Williams, Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Quebec; Rev. F.J.B. Allnatt, D.D., University Bishop’s College, Lennoxville; Rev. R. A. Parrock, Principal Bishop’s College; Rev. Canon Shreve, St. Peter’s Church, Sherbrooke; Rev. Rural Dean Stevens of Coaticook; Rev. Rural Dean Hepburn, Richmond; Rev. G.H. Parker, Rev. F. G. Vial, Rev. R.W.E- Wright, Lennoxville; Rev. Messrs. H.F. Fuller, Megantic, C.T. Lewis, Bury, H.S. Laws, Sawyerville, I.N.R. Macdonald, Angus, E.B. Husband, North Hatley, F. G. Legallais, Johnville, G.H. Murray, Danville, G. P. Pye, Kingsbury, Rev. P. Callas, Thetford Mines, Rev. J, F. Dickson, Scotstown; Rev, P. Roy, Melbourne, Rev. Ernest Roy, Bishop’s Chaplain, with Rev, Johnston representing Bishop’s College, Rev. A. E. Rellit representing Montreal. The service was conducted by His Lordship, the Bishop of the Diocese, assisted by the Ven. Archdeacon Balfour, Rev. Dr. Allnatt, and the Rt. Rev. Dean Williams, who delivered a most eloquent and touching address, God.’’ The whole assemblage was visibly moved by the Dean’s beautifully worded reference to the sterling character and unselfish disposition of the late Rector. The Choir, which had been strongly reinforced by members of the Methodist Church choir and Choral Society, rendered the following hymns most feelingly: “Who Are These Like Stars Appearing,” “On the Resurrection Morning,” “When the Laborer’s Task is O'er.” The body of the late reverend clergyman which had been placed in the Church which he loved so well and had so long and faithfully served, on the day following his death, lay embodied in a mass of beautiful flowers, sent in loving sympathy by many loving friends. The bearers were the following reverend gentlemen: Rev. Canon Shreve, Sherbrooke; Rev. Rural Dean Stevens, Coaticook; Rev. H. F. Fuller, Megantic; Rev. E. B. Husband, North Hatley. Among the mourners were: Mrs. Robertson, widow of deceased; Mr. and Mrs. John Robertson, Mr. T. Robertson, East Hatley; Mr. and Mrs. James Robertson, Mr. H. Robertson, the Misses Robertson, Mr. T. Caverhill, Montreali the Masses Ball, Waterville; Mrs. J.A. Wiggett, Mr. Norrey Wiggett, Sherbrooke, besides hosts of outside friends. At the conclusion of the beautiful Anglican burial service, the cortege left the Church, the choir chanting the “Nunc Dimittis,’’ and reformed, headed by the pupils cf Cookshire Academy, followed by the clergy and many sorrowing friends, who accompanied some distance in the direction of Waterville, where all that was mortal of a kind and loving husband, true friend and beloved Pastor, was gently laid to rest: “Gone out on the tide of that unknown sea, “Whose waves wash the shores of eternity.” The following are a few of the beautiful floral tributes, offered in loving sympathy: Pillow, Ladies’ Guild of St. Peter’s Church; wreath, Farmers’ Club; wreath, Cookshire Academy; cross, Compton Co. Women's Instituts wreath, Literary Club; wreath, CookshireChoral Society, besides a mass of cresses, anchors, sheafs, sprays and cut flowers from friends. The Rev. Alexander Hume Robertson was born in Scotland in 1851. He was tiie son of the late Thos. Robertson of Montreal, and came to Canada with his parents atout fifty years ago. In his early manhood Mr. Robertson was for some time engaged in mercantile pursuits, for a time in the Bank of Montreal, and later with a lumber firm near Rawdon, Que. A few years later, feeling that this employment did not reach his ideal of life, decided to offer himself to the Church, and for that purpose entered Bishop’s College, Lennoxville, in 1885. His first work after leaving the college and taking orders (1889) was at the newly formed mission of Newport, which included Kandboro, Sawyerville and Island Brook. The next year he was moved to the Mission of South Durham and Kingsbury. In 1891 he was appointed to Cookshire where he was inducted into the Parish of St. Peter's, which he held up to the tims of his death. The late reverend gentleman was an indefatigable worker and in addition to his Parish work held the position of Secretary of the Diocesan Board of the Diocese ol Quebec, also Secretary of the Dominion Sunday School Alliance of the Anglican Church in this section, and since the sub division of the Deaoery of St. Francis has held the appointment of Rural Dean of the sub-deanery of Cookshire. These duties entailed much heavy work from which he never flinched. His death will be a severe loss to the Diocese in many ways. In his Parish Mr. Robertson was a faithful and untiring worker for the Master he loved so well, and in every mr'jvement that tended to the elevating and improvement of the condition of the people, Mr. Robertson was foremost. Mr. Robertson was a man of most amiable disposition, broad-minded and sympathetic. It may be truly said that he was the personal friend of every one of his people, both old and young, and not only among his own people but the genuine sorrow of the whole town is seen and heard on all sides, for to meet Mir. Robertson was to know him, and to know heavy work from which he never t him was to respect, revere and love him. About the year 1888 he married Miss S. Jennie Sutton, of Hatley, who survives him. He also leaves to mourn his loss three brothers, John Robertson and Thos. Robertson, of Hatley, and James Robertson, of Montreal. The deepest heartfelt sympathy goes from the many sad hearts of Cookshire to the stricken widow and other relatives in their irreparable sorrow. (The Sherbrooke Daily Record, May 19, 1913, p. 6)

[Reverend Lorne Pierce, book steward of the Methodist Church and chairman of the Committee on Rural Life of the Department of Evangelism and Social Service]
"As Pierce observed, "there is a general feeling that the rural work is not a man's job." Although progressive clergyman often paid lip-service to the shibboleth of rural democracy and local control of community development, whereby the farmers themselves would "diagnose their own ailments, balance their own social accounts, mobilize their own resources," in reality, as Pierce stated, the ideal end was that they would eventually call in the expert, namely the local clergyman. One of these was the Rev. A. H. Robertson of Compton, Quebec, who after studying the principles of scientific farming believed he possessed the requisite knowledge to assume the mantle of community leadership. In 1912 Robertson organized a farmers' club and a women's institute, and he used his pulpit as the primary stimulus to awaken public opinion to the need for rural improvement. Adhering to the view that farmers were far too individualistic in temper to organize themselves properly in terms of their group interests as modern society dictated, one writer for Conservation deprecatingly noted that "farmers as a rule, do not lead farmers, and that is the minister's opportunity."

Charles Forbes Baldwin of Coaticook, who has been in failing health for several years, dies at his home there on Sunday Oct. 25th, and was buried on the following Tuesday. Mr. Baldwin was well known in his vicinity having taught singing schools in nearly every neighborhood in his county; he was also a first-class painter and decorator until old age and failing health forced him to retire from active labor. He was one of Coaticook’s oldest and most respected citizens having resided there for over 40 years. He was upright and exemplary in all his relations, domestic, moral and social, honest and conscientious in all his dealings, he won the respect of the whole community and will be greatly missed. He leaves one son, Mr. Albert Baldwin of this place and one daughter, Miss Minnie Baldwin, who has cared for him with untiring devotion for many years. We do not think of him as taken from the circle of loving ones here as much as being gathered into the larger and more loving circle on the other side. Since his health became impaired he has borne with patience his affliction and was entirely ready when the summons come. Rev. Mr. Williams conducted the funeral services in the Baptist church. A large number of friends and neighbors were present to show their sympathy for the loss of one so dear. The remains were laid to rest beside his wife’s in Barnston Corner cemetery. Mr. Albert Baldwin and Miss Minnie Baldwin wish to extend their heartfelt thanks to their friends for the many kindnesses shown to them in their late bereavement.

The mission in Canada became very interesting. In 1838, six missionaries were appointed to that field alone, five of them labored through the entire year, and the sixth, four months. They reported nine churches and four hundred members. Edward Mitchell and Jonathan Baldwin were especially useful through this period. Mitchell laboring for the most part in Canada, and Baldwin both in Canada and in the northern part of Vermont. (p. 455, HISTORY of the BAPTISTS in VERMONT, Henry Crocker, 1913)8. In 1839, the Danville Association, composed of the Baptist churches in Caledonia and Orleans Counties, and a part of the eastern townships of Canada, "feeling the need of an institution for the education specially of young men, for ministerial and other professions, chose a committee to locate such an institution under their care and direction."

1. MRS. ANNIS BALDWIN FOUND DEAD
Mother of F. W, Baldwin - Randolph, Jan.17 -- Mrs. Annis Baldwin, mother of F. Wayland Baldwin, general superintendent of the Central Vermont railroad, was found dead in her bed yesterday morning at her home in Braintree about three miles from this village. Mrs. Baldwin, who was about 80 years old, lived alone in the house on the farm she was born. Every morning one of the neighbors came and built her fires for her. The night before she retired feeling as well as usual and probably in better spirits for she had just signed that afternoon vouchers for a mother's pension on account of her eldest son, who died immediately after the war from diseases contracted there. It is thought that this was too much excitement for her causing heart failure. When the neighbor called the next morning he heard no response from his raps and the key was in the door. He forced an entrance, finding her dead in her bed. Mrs. Baldwin was the widow of Rev. Jonathan Baldwin, a prominent Baptist clergyman in this part of the State years ago. Superintendent Baldwin is the surviving son of the family of two sons and a daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin came as soon as possible after receiving notice, of his mother's death. The funeral will be held Saturday forenoon. Rev. Seward Robson of the Baptist church will officiate. The remains will be interred at the family cemetery nearby by the side of her husband.

Mr. L. G. Bigelow, who has been for some time in failing health, died at his home on Monday, August 3rd, and was buried the following Wednesday. Mr. Bigelow was one of the oldest and most respected men of this place. He was upright and exemplary in all his relations, domestic, social and moral; honest and concientious in all his dealings; intelligent and sound, he won the respect of the entire community and will be greatly missed. He leaves his wife, two sons and four daughters to mourn his death. We do not think of him as taken from the circle of loving ones here, so much as being gathered into the larger and more loving circle on the other side. Since his health became impaired he has borne with patience his affliction and was entirely ready when the summons came. Rev. Mr. Davies conducted the funeral services. A large number of friends and neighbors were present to show their sympathy for the afflicted family for the loss of one so dear, and the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Ruiter's Corner burying ground, there to await the Saviour's call at the reurrection.

Barnston, Dec. 15. — The sad death of Mrs. Gardner Smith occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ernest Decoteau, on Tuesday, November 27. With the exception of a few years spent in Manchester, N.H., and Coaticook, Mrs. Smith had spent her entire life in Barnston. She was an active member of the Barnston Baptist Church since she became an adherent at the age of fifteen years and only abandoned her Church work through illness. Mrs. Smith suffered considerably during the past year and was tenderly cared for by her daughter and daughter-in-law. Mrs. Smith was born Nina Converse, daughter of Jonathan and Mary L. Converse, and had celebrated her seventieth birthday on July 7 last. In 1885 she was married to Bert B. Baldwin who passed away in 1890. Five years after his death she was united in marriage to Gardner Smith who predeceased his wife eighteen months ago. Left to mourn are her daughter, Irma, Mrs. Ernest Decoteau; one son, Clarence, and a granddaughter, Glenda Decoteau. The funeral was held at her daughter’s home and was attended by a large number of friends. Rev. Harris Wallace officiated and the bearers were Messrs. Fred Gilbert, Frank Bishop, Eugene Bishop and Joseph Grady. Two favorite hymns of the deceased, “In the Garden” and “Abide With Me” were sung by a quartette composed of the Misses Eleanor Rose, Ruby Rose, Lillian Wheeler and Meryl Pye. Interment took place in the family lot in Coaticook. (Sherbrooke Daily Record, Dec. 15, 1934)

7. Mlle Susan Sutton, de Barnston. qui est une fabricants de fromage emerite, a fait une experience l’autre jour. Avec 200 livres de lait de vaches de M. Hall, elle a fait 26 livres de fromage, tandis qu’avec la memo quantite de lait des pures Jerseys de M Hanson, elle n’a
obtenu que 23 livres de fromage. Cependant, ce dernier lait, a l’epreuve de l’instrument Babcock, donne beaucoup plus de gras pour le beurre. Cette experience a ete faite deja ailleurs et il est bien compris qu’une vache pmit produire plus de beurre que de fromage et vice versé, suivant les proprietes dominantes de son lait; c’i st aux cultivateurs, quand ils achetent un troupeau de vaches, a se renseigner et a acheter en consequence, suivant qu’ils portent
leur lait a la beurrerie ou a la fromagerie. (Le Prix Courant, Aug. 16, 1895)- Miss Susan Sutton, of Barnston. who is a famous cheese maker, had an experiment the other day. With 200 pounds of milk from Mr. Hall's cows she made 26 pounds of cheese, while with the same amount of milk from Mrs. Hanson's pure Jerseys she made 26 pounds of cheese.
got that 23 pounds of cheese. However, the latter milk, tested by the Babcock instrument, gives much more fat for butter. This experiment has already been done elsewhere and it is well understood that a cow can produce more butter than cheese and vice versa, depending on the dominant properties of her milk; it is up to the farmers, when they buy a herd of cows, to find out and buy accordingly, depending on what they are looking for, their milk at the butter or cheese dairy.8.

10. “Vital Statistics” available from the North Hatley Historical Society
Interesting glimpses into days of yore
The joys and sorrows of the Eastern Townships community have been recorded in The Record since its inception. Notices of births, marriages, anniversaries and deaths are sometimes simply worded. But, on other occasions, they provide interesting glimpses into days of yore, thanks to the way they are worded.
The North Hatley Historical Society recently published Volume 1, Sherbrooke Daily Record Vital Statistics for the period February 8, 1897 to December 31, 1901. Compiled by Elane Wilson and edited by Terry Skeats, this document is a treasure trove of information on Eastern Townships families. In some instances, the text presents details about circumstances causing death, place of origin or occupation - which may have been unknown to descendants.
The 3671 entries are listed in chronological order. An index of family names facilitates finding specific names. On this day, in the years 1897-1901, these were the family changes printed in the Sherbrooke Daily Record:
1485. Death. 16 June 1899.

(The Record, June 16, 1998, p. 2)11. Deaths
SUTTON - At Barnston, June 2, Susan M. Sutton, aged 69 years. (THe Herald, June 17, 1899, p. 8)
Notes:
Susan M. Sutton was born 2 September 1830; she died in 1899.
Susan did not marry. Family tradition as related to B. Hunter, (the author of this piece) by Marion Poole Sutton is that she was engaged to be married to a Mr. Tyler and became pregnant. However, another woman also became pregnant by him and Susan dissolved the relationship.
[The 1861 Canadian Census, Quebec, Stanstead County, lists a William Tyler, age 33]
[The 1871 Canadian Census, Quebec, Stanstead County, lists a William Tylers, age 42]
Susan's son, Elbert Joshua, was born 10 September 1862 when Susan was 32 years old -- an advanced age for a first child at that time.
Again tradition is that she ran the farm. However, in the 1871 Census where she is listed with her mother Sarah, Susan's occupation is listed as "school mistress." She apparently held some type of supervisory or administrative position in the school system. Marian Haines' diary for around 1890 indicates that she delivered a portion of her check to Miss Sutton. Deeds indicate (1) that the farm passed to all the heirs (one-tenth each) when her mother died without a will in 1874; (2) Philander Sutton acquired the one-tenth share of Allured and Myra and obtained Power of Attorney for his brother Daniel and Daniel's wife Camira Boynton, living in Newell, Iowa; (3) Philander deeded Elbert Sutton 29 acres on September 14, 1885; and (4) in December 1886 Philander, acting for himself and Daniel and his brother Charles deeded their collective five-tenths interest in the 31 acres in Lot 10 2nd range of Barnston to Susan. (This land was bounded on the north by land of John Grism who was married to Susan's sister, Sarah, on the east by land of the late Lucius Sutton and on the west by the public road.) By the 1930's Margaret Sutton remembers the "Grism Place" was part of the Sutton farm.
It is also interesting to note that although Susan was a twin, this did not reoccur until 109 years later when her granddaughter, Mary Louis Sutton, had twins. (Bob H)
Susan married William Tyler (NOT WED). William was born 1 about 1826 in Quebec, CAN. He died 2 on 12 Nov 1894 in Ayer's Flat, Hatley, Stanstead Co., PQ..

(Drouin; Barnston Methodist Church Record)5. KINNEY, of Worcester, broker and dealer and sporting goods, was born in Barnston, Stanstead County, Canada East, September 25, 1840. He is of Scotch origin. His grandfather, the Rev. Oliver Kinney, who was a Baptist minister of New England, married a Miss Peck, of Rhode Island. They became the parents of six children, and lived to be octogenarians. Oliver Kinney, son of the Rev. Mr. Kinney and father of Albert, was born at Woodstock, Vt., in 1806. When a boy he accompanied his parents to Canada, and subsequently became a worthy and prosperous farmer. He married Sarah Banfield, a school teacher of Bolton, Vt. ; and they reared fourteen children, eight sons and six daughters, of whom Albert was the sixth child and third son. The greater number of these children married and had families. All the daughters became teachers. Five of the sons and three of the daughters are still living. Both parents are now deceased, the father having passed away at the age of seventy-three, and the mother some years later, aged seventy-eight. Strict Baptists in religion, they died triumphant in the Christian faith, and were laid to rest in Barford Cemetery at Barford, which was formerly a part of their farm.
ALBERT BENJAMIN FRANKLIN KINNEY was bom in Barnston, Stanstead County, Canada East, September 25, 1840. He died at his home in Worcester, Massachusetts, on July 1, 1912. His father, Oliver Kinney (born in Woodstock, Vermont, June 23, 1806), was the son of Rev. Oliver Kinney. He was a farmer by occupation and distinguished for his industry, generosity and piety. His mother, Sarah (Banfill) Kinney (bom August 8, 1812), was a school-teacher, a woman of much more than ordinary influence. The family is of Scotch and English origin. Mr. Kinney developed very early a great fondness for fishing and hunting and other out-of-door recreations. He never outgrew this love. It rather grew with his years until he became skilful in following every species of game on land and sea. He was instrumental in founding the Worcester Fur Company and the Worcester Sportsman's Club, and their efficiency is largely attributed to his agency. Mr. Kinney put the company on a firm basis and was its efficient president for eight years. He was also the president of the National Fox-Hunter Association, of the Worcester Sportsman's Club and of the Worcester County Game Protective Association. His experience in hunting was not confined to a single line or locality. In its interests he traveled all over the United States and shot all kinds of game, from the 700-pound grizzly bear in the Teton mountains of Idaho to smaller animals and birds near at home. Thomas Martindale says of him in his "Sports Royal": "To A. B. F. Kinney, a friend of thirty years, acquaintance and the best all-round sportsman I have ever met, a man equally expert with the rifle, gun and fly-rod, who has killed game of every species that the American continent affords —from the grizzly bear to the ubiquitous rabbit, from the wild goose and its rival in migratory flight — the mysterious trout —to the solitude-loving woodcock, and who is, besides, what the world most affectionately calls 'a royal good fellow.'"
He shot grouse on Scotch moors and made a tour in Great Britain and France in the sportsman's interest. He was highly eulogistic of the Scotch people and of the courtesy which rendered his hunting trips there among the rarest and most enjoyable of anything of that nature in his life. His collection of birds, furs, heads, horns, etc., is one of great variety and extent and is perhaps not exceeded by any private collection in the country. All of this he regarded his recreation. Mr. Kinney's early education was secured at Bamston Academy, to which he walked a distance of several miles every Monday morning, returning in the same way every Friday evening. He entered his brother's store in Lawrence, Massachusetts, when seventeen years of age and remained there from 1857 to 1860. In 1860 he accepted a position as clerk in a large dry-goods store in Portland, Maine, and finally became a partner. In the great fire in that city in 1866 he lost everything. He then became the traveling representative of the Dillingham Paper Company of Boston, manufacturers and wholesalers of wrapping paper. Later he bought the wholesale department of this establishment and for two years conducted the same under the firm name of Kinney, Harding & Company, corner of Franklin and Federal Streets, Boston. Then the Dillingham Company desiring to regain this business consummated its purchase, and Mr. Kinney moved to Worcester, where for thirty-six years he conducted a gun, ammunition and general athletic supply house, the first to open between Boston and New York. Mr. Kinney's motive in his devotion to hunting and fishing was recreation and health. In his earlier days of trout fishing Moosehead Lake was his favorite camping ground, while his salmon fishing has extended to Vancouver's Island, British Columbia. He was an enthusiast in these sports and often said: "This is the most healthful recreation parents can give their boys, and no better missionary work can be done than along these lines. Give a boy a dog and gun and fishrod and get him out into the woods and fields, the lakes and brooks where he can commune with nature, which brings him nearer to the Maker. It is easier to make better men of these boys than of boys who have formed the habits that boys are liable to form in the city streets." Mr. Kinney was safely adjudged a man of tact, of mature judgment, indomitable perseverance, and optimistic but solid faith. His contributions to literature are a number of hunting stories. He was a Republican in politics, and a prominent official in the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church of Worcester, which is the foremost church of the denomination in New England; for thirty-five years he was a valued member of the board of trustees, frequently presiding at its business sessions, and for the last three years of his life he was its president. He was four times elected delegate to the General Conference of his denomination, which meets quadrennially for the election of Bishops and other general officers, to supervise and make laws for the government of the Methodist Episcopal Church in all the world. This was in 1896, 1900, 1904, and 1908. When the Worcester Methodist City Mission and Church Extension Society was incorporated in 1892, he was elected its president. At that time there was not a dollar in the treasury of the society, and the united indebtedness of the English-speaking Methodist churches of the city was $53,000. During the next eleven years two new churches were built, another bought and all three fully furnished and equipped at an expense of about $60,000. The deeds of these debt-free churches were turned over to the New England Conference, at which time Mr. Kinney was publicly thanked by the Conference for accomplishing this great undertaking. During these same eleven years under Mr. Kinney's inspiration and skilful management the $53,000 debt on the old churches was paid, in addition to considerable sums spent in improvements. He was a trustee of the Wesleyan Academy, Wilbraham, Massachusetts; a member of the New England Methodist Historical Society; one of the Board of Managers of the Home Missions and Church Extension Society of the New England Conference; treasurer of the City Evangalization Society of the New England Conference; member of the Bureau of Conference Sessions; member of the Board of Church Location; and a member of the Commission on Conference Claimants. He was president of the Sterling Camp Meeting Association for eight years. It has been said of him, "Perhaps it is not too much to say that no layman in New England has done more active work in the Methodist Episcopal Church than Mr. Kinney." June 1, 1868, he married Mrs. Angle McLellan, daughter of George and Sarah (Tower) Jordon of Westbrook, Maine. One child wasborn to Mr. and Mrs. Kinney, Edith, wife of Mr. Chester W. Doten, of Worcester. She was a Radcliffe student and has been prominent in Worcester Methodism, and in the Woman's Club. Rev. V. A. Cooper, D.D., said of Mr. Kinney: — "I have known Mr. Kinney intimately for almost forty years. The multiplied forms of his activities as enumerated in the foregoing sketch reveal but in part Mr. Kinney as I knew him. He was indeed a bright illustration of that large body of citizens who have ever been the strength and glory of our commonwealth. A man with an almost absolutely independent spirit, self-poised and well-balanced, no creed hampered him, no fad engrossed him, no political cyclone ever swept him off his feet. And yet such a gentleman was he as to be the most companionable of men. Full of the progressive spirit of his times, industrious, alert, decisive, coming a stranger among us, he came to be a loyal, trusted and honored citizen. Beginning a poor boy, 'he elbowed his way along the crowded paths of life ' to competency and to a very popular and honorable social position. " There were other phases to my friend's life. He was a most generous and hospitable host to a wide circle of endeared friends. His elegant home was the scene of many a happy occasion. Presided over by a brilliant wife and since her death by his accomplished daughter, in these social functions Mr, Kinney revealed a nature for fellowship akin to kinship. There was no restraint to the young, no formality other than good breeding fosters. Amid his guests at the bounteous table he was the happiest of men. That silent reserve, born in him, melted away in the genial warmth, and the quiet restraint usual to his tongue was gone. Wit, anecdote and glad merriment became natural. The reserved, keen business man of the market and street was gone. Good fellowship overflowed. Mr. Kinney was transfused with the love of nature. His relation to sporting clubs and game associations grew out of his love for God's outdoors. I have canoed and camped with him in the great wilderness many times. He always pitched his tent on some bend in the river where there was a view of it, up or down; or, if on the lakes, on some point or bluff where the landscape was most impressive. When the sun went down, and the afterglow quivered on forest and mountain, he was awed into silence and gazed in wonder. He appreciated with poetic taste the glory of the dying day and felt, as did Whittier:
Touched by a light that hath no name,
A glory never sung,
Alike on sky and mountain wall
Are God's great pictures hung.
" The simplicity and sincerity of his religious life were beautiful. It rooted and grew from a profound reverence of God and all that appertained to his word and worship, and permeated his whole life. It could not, with his retiring nature, be demonstrative. It was not so much a profession as a manner of life. Not so much the doing of specific, conventional duties as just steadily doing right in a most natural way. His conversation was alike pure and chaste in festive gathering and in the wilderness; his moral conduct just as consistent in vacation freedom as at home. In our camp no line was wet or gun fired on Sunday. When that day came we had a service of reading the Bible and prayer. At the close of one such he said, with unusual fervor: 'If we could have such a service at home, our churches would be full.' " On July 1, 1912, fully conscious of his approaching end, he died as he had lived, calm, self-poised and trustful."

Messrs. Goodhue & Lovell of Barnston Corner, have just closed their sugar trade for the season. Several years ago the senior partner of this firm, commenced the sugar trade on a small scale,
with a yearly increase, until this year, when the above firm bought 4,000 gallons of syrup and 30,000 lbs of caked sugar amounting to some $5,000. Sugar making, coming as it does in a season of the year when farmers have not much else to do, is quite remunerative to them
and we presume more extensive preparation for making and care as to quality will be made the coming years. The same firm have an extensive trade in butter and are taking it in weekly at
different points in this county. Mr. Samuel Goodhue first started the butter trade in this county (that is on extensive scale) and probably has done more than any other man, by offering premiums, &c., to encourage good butter making in the townships. Eastern Township’s butter , is highly recommended both in England and the United States and it should encourage farmers to spare no pains in making a choice article, as good butter will always find a ready sale at a
fair price. (Weekly Examiner, June 18, 1880)12. Found in the 1881 Canadian Census Quebec, Stanstead Co., Barnston, Film C-13199, Dist 56, SubDist F, Div 1, p. 55 Family 266, age 53, with wife Deborah (48) and children, Fred (12), Charles Kenney (21), and Gertrude Kenney (19)

Coaticook, June 18--(Special) Olive Morrison, wife of the late Charles A. Sutton, of Barnston, died on June 11 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ernest Parker, Coaticook, after an illness of ten days. She had failed in health for years past, but death resulted from shock, slight at first, which was followed by another six days later, after which she never regained consciousness.
She was the daughter of the late Caleb Morrison and Abigail Horner, his wife, of Lowell, Mass., later of Barnston. Born in Lowell, she came to Canada when a child and lived in Barnston until the death of her husband in 1903, after which she made her home with her daughter. Early in life she united with the Barnston Baptist Church, of which she remained a member. She sang the alto in the choir of that church from the age of fourteen on through many years, and her kindness and helpful sympathy were extended to all who needed her. Especially she loved purity and truthfulness. Always she served her dear ones faithfully and lovingly and was rewarded by the deep affection of husband, children and friends.
The funeral was held at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Parker, on Thursday. A large number gathered to pay their last tribute of respect and love. The service as conducted by Rev. Ellis Fray, who spoke from the text, "I shall be satisfied when I awake in Thy likeness." The hymns sung were; "Nearer my home," "The home call," "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," and "Saved by Grace". Among the lovely floral offerings were a wreath of roses from her children, heart of pansies, spray of roses, carnations, wreath of tea roses, peonies, sweet peas, forget-me-nots and others. They seemed to testify mutely to a fragrant life, a reverent trust in God, and a very tender heart.
Those present from out of town were her eldest son Edward C. Sutton of Providence R.I., her second son Stanley, of Cookshire, a brother, Mr. George Morrison of Newport, VT., also many relatives from Barnston and Hatley. The youngest son, Earl, has for two years past served his country in France and England. (Sherbrooke Daily Record, June 18, 1918)17. Passing of Former Resident.

NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), Oct. 8. —Thirty years ago A. D. Sutton & Bro. conducted a grocery store on Commercial street in this city. Last night Mr. Sutton received a letter from some party unknown, signing himself as “Old-Timer.” Accompanying the letter was a check for $30. The letter stated that the said party had owed this firm $15 for groceries all this time, and as it had been so long overdue, he inclosed the other $15 as interest. (Sacramento Union, 9 Oct., 1910)31. "Town Topics"
Mr. A. D. Sutton is the brother of the late Philander Sutton, the father of Miss Margaret Sutton, of the Derby Line post office clerical staff. Miss Sutton was willing that we should publish the following letter she received from her uncle. Comment is quite unnecessary and we publish it for its effect upon the "old timer" class, those who were dishonest and have so far failed to return their stealings with interest.
Nevada City, Cal.
Mr. A. D. Sutton, Dear sir;
Many years ago, while you and your brother were in the
grocery business, I defrauded you out of fifteen dollars.
I now return you thirty dollars to make amends as much
as possible for my dishonesty. I trust you will make it all
right with your brother's family.

Respected Citizen Passes Away at His Home After a Brief Illness.
When at ten minutes past five o’clock yesterday morning Allured D. Sutton passed suddenly away Nevada City lost one of its most highly respected and well known citizens. News of Mr. Sutton’s death comes as a distinct shock to his legion of friends, for, although he had been confined to his home by illness for about a week, this fact was not generally known. Death was due to heart failure. Allured D. Sutton was born in Barnstum, Standstead county, Canada, on the 24th day of March, 1843, and at the time of his death he was past seventy years of age. He came from his native country forty-two years ago and settled in this county. He went to work with his brother and drove milk wagon for a number of years, his brother at that time owning what is now known as the Sutton ranch. Later the deceased went into the grocery business in this city, conducting it with success for a number of years. Retiring from the grocery business he engaged in mining, taking up his home in Willow Valley. The next scene of his activity was this , city, where he engaged in the wood business, floating his wood through the old V flume for delivery in this city. About twenty years ago he bought a portion of the old Philander Sutton Ranch and engaged in the milk business, which he followed until he sold out a few years ago to C. E. Emmons. He purchased the beautiful home of B. F. Snell on Broad street and settled down in this city to spend the remainder of his days in quiet retirement. A. D. Sutton was a man who numbered his friends by the score. Possessed of a genial, sunny nature, always looking at the bright side of life, and trying to make his fellow men see life in the same way, he endeared himself to all. His word was as good as his bond and his name stood for uprightness and fair dealing in every sense of the word, Mr. Sutton is survived by his widow and the following sons and daughters: Carl Sutton of this city, Earl Sutton of the Forest Service, Mrs. John R. Ivey and Mrs. Albert R. Ivey of this city and Mrs. John Ogden of Yuba City. A sister, Mrs. Robinson, of Oroville, also survives. The funeral will probably take place from the Methodist Church tomorrow afternoon. (Morning Union, July 4, 1913)38. DIED
