1. My Great Aunt -- Nellie Pauline -- was a gentle lady who thought that she would keep all the facts of the family. Thank goodness she did. (June H.)
2. "Aunt Nellie told me that the SUTTON relatives in the Eastern Townships used to send, or bring in, Maple syrup / sugar for the family to sell. They had a bit of a secret recipe to make MAPLE BUTTER, It was profitable. I am, sure a lot of families depended on ways to get a bit more money somehow. I do not know what years this took place but I would not be surprised if it were in the "Dirty Thirties"." (June H.)Ellen married 1 Frederick Keeler on 14 Jun 1904 in Toronto, York Co., Ontario, CAN.

23. Obit: The Late Valorous Truell
The death of Valorous Truell occured suddenly at Way's Mills early Saturday morning, March 13th, 1909. He had not enjoyed the most robust health for some time, and on Friday Dr. Brown was called in to see him, but no one had the faintest realization that the end was so near; in fact the physician did not consider the patient's condition at all serious. A sudden change for the worst came during the night and he answered the final summons at 4 a.m. His death was due to heart failure. Deceased was a son of the late George Washington Truell, and was born in St. Johnsbury, Vt., Jan 9th, 1837. When two years of age his parents removed to Barnston, which became the family home for many years. In 1882 Valorous Truell went to Lawrence, Mass., and for many years was associated with his brother, Hon. Byron Truell, one of the largest retail merchants in that city. Deceased, however, retained possession of the home farm in Barnston and some two years ago returned there to live the remainder of his days.
In earlier life he had taken an active part in political and municipal affairs, serving his town as a magistrate, a municipal councilor and in other capacities. He was a life-long Conservative, but never allowed his political faith to bias his judgement in any respect. Deceased was twice married, his first wife being Caroline Yemans Hollister, daughter of the late Harry Hollister of Barnston. This union was blessed by four children, Messrs. H.V. Truell of Montreal, Mr. N.T. Truell of Winnipeg, Mrs. D. L. Chamberlin of Carlisle, Mass., and Miss Fannie J. Truell, who died several years ago. Valorous Truell's second wife was Ada Sutton, daughter of the late Dr. Sutton of Mansonville, by whom he is survived. There is also one daughter, Miss Mabel B. Truell, by this marriage.
Of the seven sons of the late G.W. Truell but one, Hon. Byron Truell of Lawrence, Mass., survives. There are two sisters, the eldest of the family, Mrs. S. Ray of Rock Island, whose health is still good, and the youngest, Mrs. C.W. Vaughn, of Ayer's Cliff. The funeral took place on Tuesday and was largely attended. Among the relatives present from a distance were; Mr. and Mrs. D.L. Chamberlin, Carlisle, Mass., Mr. and Mrs. H.V. Truell of Montreal, Mrs. Gertrude Butler, niece, and Mrs. Dr. Dow, niece, both of Lawrence, Mass. (Stanstead Journal, Mar. 18, 1909)24. LAWRENCE
Valorous Truell, brother of Hon. Byron F. Truell of this city, died at his home, Ways Mills, P.Q., last Saturday. Deceased was widely known and highly respected in this city where he had lived for about twentyseven years, being connected with the store of Byron Truell Company up to about two years ago. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Mary Chamberlain of Carlisle, Mass., and Miss Mabel, who teaches at Ways Mills, and two sons, Harry V. Truell, a practicing attorney at Montreal, Can., and Newton T., who was a leading educator at Sherbrooke academy until recently, when he went to Winnepeg to engage in business. Mrs. Truell died several years ago at their home on Bailey street in this city. The funeral took place Wednesday and interment was at Ways Mills, P. Q. (The Andover Townsman, March 26, 1909, p. 7)

1. (first wife)
Truel.—Died at Way’s Mills, Barnston, P. Q., Friday, February 27th, 1880, Caroline, Hollister, beloved wife of ValorusTruel, Esq. aged 41 years and ten days.
Thus “ Carrie,” the Christian wife and mother, has left a husband, twosons and two daughters, who bear the impress of her character, to mourn their great loss; yet they “ sorrow not ” without “ hope,” for her life from her youth up was marked by consistent devotion to God and his truth; from a child she has a known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make wise unto Salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” Her piety was not of the kind that “ ebbs and flows,” but the constant, unvarying, every day kind that made her a “ living Epistle— read and known of all ” about her, yet far removed from ostentatious show. !So when, as the result of lingering disease
she sank suddenly and unexpectedly into the repose of death. On being told that she had but a few moments to live, she spoke of her children calmly, and, as her husband and another sung sweet trusting words, a halo of glory lit up her pallid features as a testimonial of the peace that reigned within, and lingered until her burial, on Tuesday, P. M., following. Her funeral was attended by a large concourse of deeply sympathising relatives and friends, who Listened attentively to a sermon by the writer based upon Bev. iv-13; also beautiful songs were sung by the choir, and we buried her cold and pallid form in “ the sunshine ’’ of hope, to await the Resurection to life eternal, and to ever be with the Lord,” and receive from Him “ the reward
of the inheritance ” promised to “ the meek,” (Mat. v-5), which was the faith in which she died.

31. Truce in Warfare of Noise
On Saturday evening the medicine men on Rupert street carried on their little business without being interupted by the Salvation Army. Of the three attractions Prof. Sutton drew the largest crowd. The Army was well patronised on Pacific avenue and when it marched to its citadel the medicine men paused in their lectures untill all the soldiers were safe within their building. The services of the army were well attended, but the two crowds outside were very unequal. Mr. Sutton had increased his staff of entertainers by two colored gentlemen and a ventriloquist as well as a small boy with a harmonium. His opponent has sold a big book, the cheif virtue of which appeared to consist in ots weighing four pounds, with his medicine. He was handicapped with his spiel, however, and as beaten blocks, easily, by the smooth-tongued Mr. Sutton who described at length the symptoms, causes, effects and actions of most of the diseases of the stomach. His quaker rival had an unattractive monologue and was also at a disadvantage on account of his stand being in the middle of a mud puddle caused by the heavy rains of the afternoon. The crowds deserted him in large numbers and could not be drawn away by his entertainers. The trial was interesting but without the noisy Salvationists it was somewhat featureless when compared with the battle of noise waged on Friday evening. (Manitoba Free Press, 4 Jul 1904)32.

How to get Clean Joints
By Chas. Sutton, Coaticook, Que.I have often read statements in the journals that the way to get clean joints is to grind closely, or to insert plaster, cement, etc., between the joints. Yet in spite of instructions, joints do come out with those reproachful dark lines which offend the eye. I do not pretend that I have made an original discovery, but I worked out the matter for myself, and I never have a dark joint, and this is the way I avoid it:
1. I never let wax get between the joints in preparing the set for the flask. I never melt the wax before or behind, where the blocks meet.
2. One of the last things I do when the case is waxed up, is to remove each block, one at a time, rub the joints on a piece of fine and clean sandpaper and replace them, taking care never to melt the wax where the blocks meet.
3. I then flask the set as usual, and when opening it, I avoid heating it so much that the wax will melt and run into the clean joints. I then pick out all the wax possible, especially in the vicinity where the blocks meet.
4. Now comes the secret. If you have not melted the wax into the joints before flasking, or when heating it to separate the flask, you have now perfectly clean joints. But you have to pour hot water into the case to melt out wax you cannot pick out, and when you do that, you just run the melted wax into those joints, and even if you boil for an hour, and pour gallons of boiling water into the case, you can never cleanse them of foreign matter which not even boiling water will remove.
Now after you have picked out all the wax possible, just run into the joints thin plaster of Paris, and wait till it hardens. Then you may pour on your boiling water to remove the vestige of the wax ; but neither the wax nor the water can get between the joints, and neither can the rubber. It is not the rubber that dirties the joints. It is the wax, and the foreign matter in the wax which you run into them when you think you are running it out.7. [advertisement]

Some Thoughts in Connection with Amalgam.
By Chas. C. SUTTON, Island Pond, Vermont.In a country practice we must necessarily be guided by certain circumstances, which may have little or no existence in a practice in a large city. I am led to this remark since coming to reside permanently in this pleasant place and observing the results of many years' practice of older and contemporary dentists in the mouths of many of the inhabitants. Over forty years ago my father practised extensively in this state in Newport, North Troy, Westfield, and in the bordering villages of Canada, and it has been my good fortune to see hundreds of amalgam fillings doing good service, which were inserted by him many years before I was born. I have also seen many fillings inserted about the same time by Dr. Jas. Lewis, of Burlington, Dr. A. J. Parker, of Bellow's Falls, and others, which were better than the day they were put in, because years of mastication had given them surfaces like polished steel. At the same time we must admit that we see in much modern work in amalgam of a very inferior character, and the question naturally arises, "if we are forced in country practice, or by reason of structural frailty, or of other circumstances, to use amalgam, can we explain why this generation of dentists shouldn't do better for the patients than the last?"
1) The Material: Have we, as the result of scientific experiments by scientific men, produced a more durable amalgam than that used half a century ago? To-day most of them are trade secrets. We are told that they have been tried by experts and not found wanting; but are the tests of a laboratory equal to the tests of the mouth? I maintain that the former are absolutely worthless. The conditions of the mouth are not those of a test tube. Expansion and contraction which appears after awhile in the former may be never visible in the latter. We know very well that we can make an amalgam that will expand or contract almost before our eyes; but it is needless to say that I do not allude to such a material. Laboratory tests give many amalgams a satisfactory color, while the mouth test turns them as black as ink. My father used to file down a half-dollar, pass a magnet through it, and adding mercury, use that for years. Then he used as long ago as 1845, a formula, four parts silver to five parts tin, and I have seen more than a hundred of such fillings in all parts of the mouth put in by him, which had a record of over forty years! As to gold, of which I am not writing, and which has its indispensable preference in so many cases, the record of soft foil is proportionately the same. With reference then to the material, I question if we are any better off to-day as to durability, even though we may be as to color.
2) Manipulation: There was not much ceremony in the old days on this score. It was entirely guess work, and whether you put in too much mercury or not, the question was as to the quantity you squeezed out. My father believed it was a mistake to file or cut the alloy too fine, or work it too long, and he always finished the surfaces by rubbing in as much of the dry alloy as possible. We may get an ideal alloy, the physical properties of which may be destroyed by the manipulation, and it would be well if some one would institute a series of scientific experiments with various alloys to prove which is the best way of preserving these properties for our purpose.
3) Margins: I sometimes think that it would be better for our patients if the dental engine had never been invented; while oftener I feel that it is as good for them as for us that it was invented. The older dentists depended upon files and chisels to trim the margins of cavities, and excavators exclusively to get at places inaccessible to hand drills. To-day we can dispense with files; and it may be that we are not as careful as our fathers were to do our work thoroughly, because we let the engine do a good deal that once our own hand did. It may be, too, that many dentists have not the perfect outfit for the engine which the depots are now able to supply, and having, perhaps, lost the art of using files, or perhaps not having the proper files on hand, we use neither the best of the old methods nor the best of the new.
4) Fees: The older dentists lived calmer and cheaper. They made many of their own instruments, alloys, etc. They were not in such a rush. The patients, too, lived simpler lives, and used simpler food, and the homes of the farmers and the village people did not contain the many destructive constituents of diet which help to predispose the teeth to decay today. My father, for instance, got as good fees forty years ago as the average Vermont, Quebec, or Ontario village dentist gets today. The cost of materials were very much less; the temptation to expenditure, professional and personal, were less than one-half; the credit system was unknown, and was regarded as a sort of proposed burglary; the dentist every week was able to pay for what he bought, and to lay aside his savings. Is it not true that in city, town and village the average dentist is to-day struggling for a bare existence, and that he is in debt, and is not saving money? It may be that this condition of affairs is largely responsible for the poor character of a great deal of the artificial work and operative work we see, and that the dentist, living in a rush, with increased expenses and decreased fees, is not able to give the proper time to his labors. If the patients fairly realized this, both they and we would be better served. During several visits to Montreal and Boston, I was amazed to witness the way in which the public is humbugged by the show-case and golden tooth fraternity, who it seems to me, come sufficiently within the reach of your law to have legal restraints placed upon them in the interest of the public. The modern craze for cheapness degrades dentistry more than it degrades trade, and these vulgar quacks - for they are nothing better - place the profession before the public on a level with the trader, and people go shopping for teeth, as they go from stall to stall in the markets, beating down the market women in the price of a cabbage. Then again, we have a class of men who condemn these show-case frauds, while they themselves resort to unprofessional and untrue circulars, pamphlets and advertisements, puffiing up their own qualifications and running down those of their neighbors. If we could get the public to recognize that dentistry is not a trade these trade tricks would only hurt, their authors, and as a regular reader of your journal, you will excuse me for saying that if the respectable portion of the profession would more generally follow the lead in these questions while you have editorially so long pointed out, the quacks and loose fish of the profession would find their level with the public as they long ago have found it in the profession. Medical men of any pretence to decency do not resort to these trade tricks. Even medical quacks rarely, if ever, use them. They may lie by the yard, but they rarely offer reductions in fees as the chief bait to the ignorant and unwary. Our gutter dentists, as you very properly styled them, can equal them so far as deliberate falsehood goes, but they beat them all hollow so far as offering ten dollars' worth for two. I find I have been led away somewhat from my subject, but these considerations have a direct influence upon the question of amalgam, and, in fact, anything else in practical dentistry.

The Tricks of the "Cheap Jacks."
By Charles C. Sutton, Island Pond, Vermont.As an illustration of the low tricks to which some practitioners resort to get business, let me mention a few facts, to show the discouragement to those who are anxious to do the honest thing, and the dangers to which an unsuspecting public are exposed.
1) The local anaesthetic humbug. Not even every member of the profession, much less the public, is aware of the exposure made of the nostrums which are advertised and used so much. Dr. Ed. C. Kirke, of New York, showed that the proprietors of these secret remedies told falsehoods as to their composition, and that the percentage of dangerous results in dentistry was much greater than in general surgery ; that death had occurred from doses that were supposed to be harmless. There is no secret in the composition of a good local anaesthetic. Dr. Del Solar published the following, to be applied to the gum for one minute, and not to be used with the hypodermic syringe : Alcohol, 98 percent, f g ij ; chloroform, fjiv; ether sulphuric, fgiss; camphor, g i. The dentists who tell their patients that they have the only reliable
anaesthetic ought to receive the title of " D.L." dental liars.2) Artificial sets. The public gets its knowledge of dentistry from the dentists. If a dentist is unscrupulous enough to make
them believe that he has a monopoly of purchase of certain teeth, vulcanite, etc., and that he can do what no other dentist can do - especially the dentist who is nearest to him - he simply tells falsehoods. One party is in the habit of telling his patients that he carves his own gum for teeth, that he invented his own vulcanizer. We would suppose that this would be the very reason why patients would avoid, as neither by education, manners or cleanliness can he offer inducements. But he can offer one inducement - that last resort of the dental quack - cheapness, and the public are
humbugged by the belief that though they cannot get twenty dollars' worth of hay for eight dollars - unless the hay is spoiled - they can get ten dollars' worth of dentistry for five. Of course they can, too. They can get inferior materials and inferior workmanship. They can get dirtily-done dentistry, filthily-made sets of teeth, teeth extracted with dirty and infected forceps, teeth filled with dirty amalgam while the saliva is stopped with foul napkins, operations performed in dirty chairs with dirty hands, and infectious diseases carried from one mouth to another. These Cheap Jacks cannot afford to do anything else, and they do not know enough to do any better. One of these parties was lately asked by a patient why the red rubber showed so much between the joints of her set, and was told that it was " an improvement to strengthen the set, and it will fill up with food and be covered "!9. Dr. Chas. Sutton of Island Pond, formerly of Coaticook was in town recently and reports business good. (Sherbrooke Examiner, Aug. 23, 1895, p. 8)

This house occupies lot 5 in block number 25 of the Berlin Heights Addition subdivision (Plan D) of 1892. William Perkins purchased the land from the Berlin Heights Addition on February 2, 1894 and sold it the same day to Mildred Pitkin of Somerville, Massachusetts (Coos County Registry of Deeds Book 72, Page 281). Mildred Pitkin, a divorced woman, subsequently married Charles Sutton in June 1900. The building appears to have been constructed as a two-family investment property. Sutton was a dentist who came from Canada to Colebrook in 1900. The present building had been constructed by the time of the Jan. 1901 Sanborn map. It does not appear that the couple ever occupied the house. In 1903 Charles and Mildred Sutton of Colebrook sold the land with buildings to Elmire Dechamps (Elmer Deschamps) for $1,100 (Book 114, Page 105). Deschamps’ occupation has not been determined.

27. Obit: Dr. Charles C. Sutton, aged 80 years, passed away on Monday, July 13, at his home on Main street following a short illness. Dr. Sutton was Canadian born, but had spent most of his life in the States. He came to Colebrook about 35 years ago, where he established a fine dental business. He was a quiet, unassuming man and very popular throughout the North Country. His pleasant manner and genial smile will be greatly missed. He is survived by two children, a son, John P. Sutton, who resides at the Sutton home and a daughter, Lucille (Mrs. Shumway Marshall), who has recently moved to Conway, and a grandson, Charles Sutton Marshall, also a sister, Mrs. Bertie Conger of Montreal but who has resided in Colebrook for the past two years to be near her brother.

14. Obituary
Foreword: Several years ago, “Millie”, as she was familiarly known to her friends, called me on the telephone and complimented me on a tribute which I had written to a departed friend. She said, “I want you to promise to write my obituary when I die.” I believe I replied that she might have to write mine instead, but I promised, of course, hoping that I should never be called upon to fulfill that promise,—And now the years, in their passing, have gathered her to her fathers, and I am left, and in my feeble way will attempt to carry out my promise to a friend.
Iva H. Drew.MILDRED (PITKIN) SUTTON
Mrs Mildred P. Sutton was bom in Colebrook, October 9, 1867, the daughter of Samuel and Arvilla (Piper) Pitkin and passed away on December 27, 1937. Most of her early life was spent in Colebrook where she lived with her family, Mr. and Mrs. Seneca S. Merrill and a half-brother,
Seneca S. Merrill, Jr. She received her education from the village schools and Tilton Seminary from which she was graduated. Later she went to Boston where she entered the Curry School of Speech and Expression; it was there that she took up elocution and became a reader of
marked ability. She often appeared before the public and helped many a boy and girl to appear creditably in prize-speaking or at graduation. She was married on June 12, 1900 to Dr. Charles Cobb Sutton. Three children were born to them, a daughter Mima Anne, having died in infancy. The other two, John and Luciile, live in Colebrook at the Sutton home and both have been untiring in their efforts to comfort and cheer their mother during her long illness. Mrs. Sutton was stricken with diabetes about seven years ago and the skill of the most gifted specialists could not affect a cure. She had many friends, for she made friends readily and kept them. She had a keen sense of humor and a ready wit. She did many acts of kindness unknown to the general public for she did not make a display of her good deeds. Life was sweet to her. She had everything to make one happy, —pleasant home surroundings, a devoted husband and children —and yet earthly ties could not hold her and the blessed Christmas season brought sorrow instead of joy to this home circle; but her sweet counsels are secure in the storehouse of memory to cheer and comfort those left. She had lived out the allotted years given to mankind, three score and ten, and now she has solved the great and inevitable mystery that through all the passing years still remains the greatest mystery of all. Mrs Sutton was a member of the Episcopal Church and for many years was a member of Colebrook Grange, m which order she held many offices, also a loyal worker in the W. C. T. U. For many years she was the town agent for the S. P. C. A. As I saw her last lying there so calm and peaceful, surrounded by beautiful flowers, it would almost seem like desecration to disturb that sweet stillness, and as the pastor so feelingly rendered that immortal poem of Tennyson’s "Crossing the Bar,” which was a favorite of the deceased, it almost seemed that I saw a flicker of content pass over her quiet features, as though, indeed, she had "met her Pilot face to face." Besides her husband and children, she leaves several cousins and many more distant relatives. Funeral services were held from her late home bn December 30. An Episcopal minister, Rev. Leslie Hodder, of Hanover and a friend of Mrs. Sutton, officiated. Mrs. George Ramsay played softly on the piano several wellknown hymns. The bearers were Clark G. Norris, Fred Gould, Dean Gilkey, and Charles O. Stevens. (The News and Sentinel, Jan. 6, 1938, p. 1)
Notes;
1. Previously married to a judge, Everett Fletcher, b. 21 Dec 1848, Colebrook, NH., he died; 18 Aug 1900, Lancaster, NH. They were married, 19 Sep 1888 in New hampshire, (probably Lancaster, NH). They lived in a hotel in Lancaster, N.H.
2. Her name was originally Almeria but she changed her name to Mildred. She was diabetic and overweight later in life and snuck chocolates when she was not supposed to have them apparently. She also was very funny. (L.S)
3. Seneca Sargent Merrill; "He was a man of good judgement, a close buyer, an exact collector, scrupulously honest, and punctilious in all details of his business; his word was as good as his bond, and he won the confidence and patronage of the community and of the surrounding towns; at the time of his death he was the wealthiest man of his age in Colebrook."…………"Mr. Merrill married, January 10, 1871, Emma, daughter of Dr. Lyman and Betsey (Loomis) Lombard. She died in March, 1872. In February, 1876, he married Arvilla, daughter of Thomas and Esther (Beecher) Piper, and widow of Samuel P. Pitkin. To his step-daughter, Millie, Mr. Merrill manifested the tenderness of a parent. His only child is Seneca Sherburn Merrill, a bright lad of nine years."

2. 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)

12. Cincinnati Hams
J. G. Worthington has just received a car load of choice ham and bacon direct from Cincinnati, the great porkopolis of the world. They are splendidly cured and are the best Eastern hams and bacon that have found their way to Nevada county. They are for sale cheap for coin, and can be had at R. Finnie's store, Mill street. (Nevada Democrat, April 9, 1872, p. 3)13. SALE OF WORTHINGTON RANCH
— A few days ago the Worthington Ranch, situated a mile from Grass Valley, on the Nevada road, was sold to Richard Noell of this place for $6,000. The Worthington place has been known here as the Pie Plant ranch, because old man Worthington first introduced the Victoria Rhubarb into this part of the country. His action in that matter has proved a public good, for now the planted is cultivated in all the gardens here and much of it is shipped to the markets below. The soil and climate here make the Victoria variety of rhubarb attain great perfection, and cause a demand for the Grass Valley article. Mr. Noell has made a good bargain in getting the old ranch at the price he paid for it. (Morning Union, May 21, 1872, p. 3)14. Family Groceries.— J. G. Worthington has purchased the grocery store and bakery of J. Johnson, on the corner of Main and Church streets, and will continue to keep on hand a first class stock of groceries, etc., which he will dispose of to the former customers of the store, and others at prices to suit the times.

19. Mining News Nevada County. — We find this notice of the Buckham mine in the Grass Valley Union of April 30th:
This mine is located southwest from Grass Valley, near Bear river. The location was made years ago and the ledge has been worked whh good success. The rock had to he hauled to Grass Valley in order to have it tested, and it has, been worked through two or three different mills in separate lots. The ore has paid all the way from $15 to $29 per ton, by mill process, and without estimating the sulphurets. The averape of all the ore worked has been something over $20 a ton. The Iedge averages over two feet in thickness, and has been tested to the depth of 97 feet. A letter from J. G. Worthington, received yesterday from the Buckham mine, states the the rock is improving rapidly in the shaft, showing free gold, a thing that has seldom been seen in the rock which has been worked, and plenty of sulphurets. The mine only needs mill on it to prove a success. This thing of hauling quartz from ten to fifteen miles is not economy. The owners are men without capital and they would like to arrange for a mill. They can show the certified figures for the yield of the rock, and from the best and most careful millmen in this district. (Sacramento Daily Union, May 8, 1875)20.

The Transcript says that it is an error that James Worthington attempted to commit suicide at that place on Saturday last. He was drunk and his pistol went off accidentally and shot him in the hand, A loaded pistol in the hands of a drunken man is next thing to throwing a torch into a powder magazine-somebody is liable to get hurt.

Notes:
1. In the mid-1850's Timothy Worthington came west from Ohio and cleared the land the golf course (Nevada County Country Club) now occupies. He was joined by his brother James. The brothers pastured their horses here and took them over the hill to race them at the Glenbrook race track. After Timothy died, James married Luvia Damon. In 1862, they called their property Pie Plant Ranch. They built a pretty home (now the clubhouse) and operated a dairy. James is credited with planting the palm and magnolia tress on the site. The property was sold in 1875 and was later known as the Noell home. In the early 1920's a group of golf enthusiasts planned the Nevada County Country Club. Longtime Nevada City community leader Elza Kilroy and his wife Luvia (grand-daughter of Luvia (Damon) Worthington) were among the first members.
They had the following children:

Mrs. B. F. Hartman of this city, a past president and prominent member of Laurel Parlor, No. 6, Native Daughters of the Golden West, is a candidate for grand trustee of the order at the grand parlor session, which commenced yesterday at Fresno... Mrs. Hartman has the hearty endorsement of the local parlor and the four delegates are making a lively fight for her election. Laurel Parlor is one of the oldest and strongest in the order and the members feel that they are entitled to recognition at the hands of the grand parlor. Mrs. Hartman is a hard worker in the order and has always taken a decided interest in its welfare. That she is being prominently regarded in the face for grand trusteeship is evident from the following, taken from yesterday’s Examiner: “Another interesting personality at the convention is Mrs. B. F. Hartman of Laurel Parlor, No. 6, Nevada City, who is a candidate for grand trustee. Mrs. Hartman is a lineal descendant of John and Priscilla Alden of Colonial story and song.” (Morning Union, June 14, 1916, p. 5)

The same evening that Mr. Hartman arrived here he witnessed a cutting affray between two of the gamblers who frequented the tent. It was his first introduction to the place, but it did not scare him away, as his forty years residence here clearly proves.” The deceased is the father of Frank Hartman, who has charge of the concentrators at the North Star mill, in this place.

The amusing inconsistancy of a woman ordering her husband to leave home and then charging him with desertion was heard this afternoon in Judge Jones' court. The case was Amy A. Norton against Michael Norton for divorce on the grounds of desertion and failure to provide. The plaintiff testified that she ordered the defendant to get out and never to set foot in her house again. This caused a titter in the court room.

FORTY-NINER AT REST IN GRAAVE
Funeral of Late J. J. Rogers at Berkeley Last Wednesday.
The funeral of the late John James Rogers, forty-niner, took place Wednesday afternoon from the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. S. Folger, 1608 Grove street. Berkeley, and Interment was private. The news of Rogers’ death will be felt particularly in Nevada and Marin counties, where he was active in mining and political circles. In Marin county he engaged in mining pursuits and later established a mine implement and supply store there, in Nevada county; where he lived later, he was a factor in the political movements, and, during his residence there was entrusted with several of the leading county offices. Moved by the spirit that caused many of the Missouri farming folk to stake their all and come west at the announcement of the discovery of gold at Marshall’s creek, Rogers, with a party, embarked in a prairie schooner. The several months occupied in crossing the plains, replete with Indian hostilities, dangers from encountering beasts of the prairies and threats of water and food famines, form a chapter of memorable incidents in the life of the late pioneer. Rogers has published the details of the journey in a volume entitled “My Trip Across the Plains in ’49.” The story has been reprinted by several of the leading California and Nevada newspapers.
Was Strong Democrat.
Engaging for a time in prospecting, Rogers afterward established a mine implement business and was later drawn into the vortex of political excitement. He contributed his best to the welfare of the place and people among whom he had established bis home. Politically, Rogers was a strong supporter of the democratic party. He was the chairman of the memorable county convention held at San Rafael in 1860. At the time he served the United States as deputy sheriff for Marin county. Later he migrated to Nevada county, where he stepped'into a position ot social and political prominence. He was elected county clerk and served from 1869 to 1871. Later he was elected county recorder, serving in this office from 1875 to 1877. He continued his efforts in the interest of the Nevada county people until advancing age Compelled him to retire from active life. Rogers was a member of a notably large family, a reunion of which was held in St. Louis three years ago, with more than 100 relatives in attendance. His wife died at Grass Valley fifteen years ago.

The funeral of Albert F. Albert, stepson of John J. Rogers, took place yesterday. The youth, who was but thirteen years, met with an accidental death at Sioux City, lowa, on Tuesday of last week by being run over by a street car. He had gone in May last from California to make a visit for the Summer with his aunt, Mrs. Stillman, residing at Sioux City. The Journal of that place relates the manner of the accident. The boy was riding on the platform of a street car, and on the approach of another car coming from an opposite direction he stepped off to ride hack. In doing so he miscalculated the distance, and stepped just in front of the team of the coming car, and was knocked down. This frightened the animals, and they jumped to one side, dragging the car from the track, and the wheels of the car passed over the prostrate body of the boy, inflicting injuries from which he soon died. The remains of the unfortunate youth were sent home for burial, and arrived here on Tuesday. Religious services were held at the M. E. Church yesterday afternoon. The bearers at the funeral were young acquaintances and playmates of the deceased. (Morning Union, Aug. 5, 1886, p. 3)

Rogers, who is well-known in Nevada City and served a term at San Quentin for robbery, had been drinking heavily and went into Dave Stewart’s saloon. He began abusing everybody and especially the boys who worked at Towle’s mill. No one paid much attention to him until he said that he was looking for a man named Pittman, whom he would shoot on sight. Louis Spangler asked him why he wanted to shoot Pittman and Rogers said ‘‘are you a friend of Pittman?” He replied “yes” and Rogers pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Spangler,who caught his arm just as the shot was fired, the bullet barely missing his head.
Constable Gleason arrived on the scene, and started for Rogers, who rammed the pistol into the Constable’s mouth, but fortunately was unable to pull the trigger. Gleason had a tooth knocked out and his lip badly cut. A half dozen men succeeded in taking the gun away from Rogers and he was taken to Worthley’s hotel, where Deputy T. E. Peck took charge of him while Gleason went to get a pair of handcuffs, Gleason did not return for over an hour and when he came back Rogers had gone home. The Constable was badly scared and did not attempt to go to Rogers’ house, thinking that the latter would use his Winchester rifle. So he was left alone until morning, when he tried to form a posse to go to the house. No one cared to venture and Rogers consequently skipped out. Sheriff Douglass arrived Sunday evening and was surprised to learn that Rogers had gone. On leaving Rogers said to his mother, “I have been to San Quentin once and I know that if I am caught this time I will go for life.” He also said he would never be taken alive. Rogers took with him a Winchester rifle and a small bundle. As no one knew in what direction he went it was useless for the Sheriff to hunt him and he returned here last evening. It was at first thought Rogers was in hiding in this city but a thorough search failed to reveal the fact. The whole fault of his escape lies with the officers at Washington, who had the man under arrest and let him go. It may be some time before he is apprehended. (Morning Union, Oct. 8, 1895)

4. Death: BARNSTON
A sad accident happened at Norton Lake on the 6th inst., by which William Sutton of this town lost his life. It appears that he and Mr. Walter Lovell had been out fishing on the lake, and landed just at night. Mr. Lovell stepped from the boat first and as Sutton stepped out he reached down for his revolver, and either the hammer caught on something or he let it fall, and it went off, the whole charge passing through his body. He fell into Mr. Lovell's arms and died in a short time. Mr. Sutton was a son of the late Luman Sutton, and leaves a wife and one child. (Stanstead Journal, Oct. 15, 1885)5. Killed by his Own Revolver.
Norton Lake, Oct. 6th, 1885. A sad and fatal accident occurred here today, caused by the accidental discharge of a revolver, resulting in the death of Mr. Wm. Sutton, of this place, formerly of Barnston. It appears that Mr. Sutton and his uncle, Mr. Walter Lovell, had been out fishing and hunting, and when returning in the evening had loaded and taken their packs from the boat and deposited them upon the shore. Mr. Sutton, it is supposed, while picking the revolver up dropped it from its case and striking the hammer on a stone or other hard substance caused it to explode the cartridge and the contents were lodged in Mr. Sutton’s left side. He fell into his uncle’s arms, who was just behind him, exclaiming: “My God, I am shot through the heart.” These were the only words uttered, though he lived for nearly two hours suflering the agonies of death. Deceased was a young married man, and leaves a wife and one child and a large circle of friends to mourn his loss. (Weekly Examiner, Sherbrooke P.Q. Oct. 16, 1885, p. 3)6. NORTON
A sad accident happened near Lake station on Tuesday of last week. Mr. D. W. Sutton in company with Mr. W. Lovell, of Coaticook, had been hunting and fishing. On their return

discharge of a pistol. He leaves a sorrowful wife and two children who have the sympathy of a large number of friends. (Essex County Herald (Guidhall, VT) Oct. 16, 1885, p. 3)

You will no doubt be a little surprised to get a letter from me but I have something to tell
you that is of great importance to me also ask your consent to that which is very dear
to me and it is this I have for a long time thought very much of your daughter Ella and it
has come to live of the kind which will last as long as I live and I believe it is returned and
I have her answer that makes me very happy now I ask your consent to an engagement
with her and a wedding in the near future. Yo may think me rather bold but it is what my
whole life depends on I have been with her at Charlie's and it understands it and I have his
full consent. I will admit that my circumstances are not what I would wish but with her love
to help me I can or will try my whole life to make her happy and by doing that I will be so to.
I know you will be lonesome without her but I would not wish you to think you have lost her
for I would not do anything to make you think so and i will with god's help be what a true
husband ought to be. Hoping to hear from you either by letter or by way of Ella in the near
future I am ever yours with best wishes for a happy new year to all. from your friend and
hoping for something nearer.
Yours truly

Mrs. Webster, with her daughters, Mrs. C. A Hodges and Miss Webster, were alone at the time in the home on Burnap street, the former’s brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Sutton, being absent. Mr. and Mrs. Sutton were, however, on their way home, fortunately in a closed car, and were able to reach there in safety.

The only damage resulting to Mr. Sutton’s property was the loss of a portion of the ridge pole. Mrs. Webster and Miss Mildred returned to “The Locusts'’ on Friday evening.
