- Death of George Sutton.
Died, this morning, in West Pittston, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. S. K. Barbar, after a brief illness, George Sutton, in the seventy-ninth year of his age.
The deceased was born in Towanda, Feb. 6, 1807, but since six years of age he has resided in this county, first on a farm in Ransom and afterward in Exeter, until he removed to West Pittston, twenty-one years ago. For the past two years he has been afflicted mentally, so that he has been as helpless as a child, and with the failure of his mind his strength has gradually given way, although he was confined to his bed less than a fortnight.
Throughout his long and active life he bore the name of an industrious, upright citizen, a good neighbor and a kind husband and parent. In his infirmity and last illness he received the most considerate attention of his daughter with whom he made his home. He leaves ten children, three by his first wife and seven by his second, viz., Mrs. David Berlew, of Exeter, Mrs. Jas. Vosburg, of Dorchester, Nebraska, Charles, of Paw Paw, Ill., Mrs. Alice Washburn, of Masonville, N. Y., George, of Union City, Ind., Mrs. Lizzie Polen, of Nurthumberland, Eugene, of Moosic, and Lester H., Mrs. Lydia Ann Tompkins and Mrs. Mattie Barber, of West Pittston.
The funeral will take place on Sunday at 2 p. m., from the residence of Mr. Barber, on Luzerne Ave. Interment in West Pittston Cemetery.
