Fred was the son of Edward J Sutton and Lucretia A Morris. He married Etta Smith on April 15, 1869 in Vermont. They did not have children.
STORM LAKE PILOT TRIBUNE - Fri, Jan 7, 1921 - F.E. Sutton was brought in from his farm to the Swallum hospital on Tuesday in a very serious condition with pneumonia. His many friends hope that he may soon regain his health. Mr Sutton has lived on his farm for 50 years, scarcely leaving it during that time and he came to the hospital very reluctantly.
STORM LAKE PILOT TRIBUNE - Fri, Jan 14, 1921 - Buena Vista college will receive approximately $35,000 and the aged and infirm of Buena Vista county the same amount from the estate of Frederick D Sutton, according to the terms of the will which have been made public.
With the exception of two small bequests, one to the son of a niece in Vermont and another to a friend, H.J. Sutton, the whole estate amounting to approximately $110,000 will be divided into three parts. A third goes to Buena Vista college, a third to the Christian home at Council Bluffs, and the balance is to be used in establishing a trust fund the income of which is be used for the aged and infirm of Buena Vista county.
Mr Sutton was one of the real pioneers of Buena Vista county coming here in 1872 from Vermont. Mrs Sutton died in 1889. As there were no children, Mr Sutton lived a rather lonely life from that time on. He stayed close to his farm and improved it.
Since his death it has become known that during this time of his life he spent a great deal of his income helping various worthy causes. At the time of his death he was paying expenses for some poor girls at a negro college in the south.
On Tuesday Jan 4, Mr Sutton was brought to a local hospital suffering with pneumonia. Very reluctantly he left the farm that he had lived on for so long, as though he had a premonition that he was never to return to it. His old age and the fact that his case had come to be serious gave him little chance for recovery and he died on the following day.
His funeral was held from the Lakeside Presbyterian church on Saturday morning. He was laid by the side of his wife in the Storm Lake cemetery under a beautiful stone erected in her memory.
This brief record of the life and death of Mr Sutton was taken from the biographical sketch found in the late history of Buena Vista county, compiled in 1909...
Past and Present of Buena Vista County, Iowa.
Chicago: S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1909, p. 616-17. - After a long, active and useful life identified with the agricultural interests of Buena Vista county, Frederick E. Sutton is practically living retired in Sioux City, where he owns a nice residential property, but still gives supervision to his extensive landed interests. Mr. Sutton was born in Oxford, New Haven county, Connecticut, June 10, 1844, a son of Edward J. and Lucretia A. (Morris) Sutton, the former a native of Chittenden county Vermont, and a son of James Sutton, of English ancestry. Mrs. Sutton was born in Connecticut and by her marriage became the mother of three sons: E. M., who was married and spent his entire life in the east, passing away in 1907; F. E., of this review; and C. J., a resident of Chittenden county.
Frederick E. Sutton was quite young when the family removed from its native state to Vermont and there he was reared and educated, being given good school advantages. He remained on the home farm during the period of his boyhood and youth and farmed in Chittenden county for several years.
In 1872, however, believing that the new and rapidly developing west offered more opportunities than east, Mr. Sutton removed to Buena Vista county, Iowa, and purchased eighty acres of land on section 13, Maple Valley township, on which stood a small house but was otherwise unimproved. He broke the land with an ox team and in due course of time had the soil in a fine state of cultivation, so that he harvested plentiful crops each year as a reward for his care and labor. He later remodeled his pioneer home and eventually replaced that structure with a modern two-story residence.
He also enlarged the boundaries of his farm by adding eighty acres, so that the old home place now embraces one hundred and sixty acres of rich and valuable farm land. Moreover, he purchased twenty acres of land in Sulphur Springs, which tract is supplied with a good residence, also owning two business houses there, and in that city he made his home for several years.
As his financial resources increased he invested in three hundred and twenty acres of land in Beadle county, South Dakota, which is improved with a fine dwelling and substantial outbuildings. For a long time Mr. Sutton was actively engaged in general agricultural pursuits but for the past few years has made his home in Sioux City, Iowa, merely looking after his invested interests, for the competency that he has acquired now enables him to rest from his former toil.
Mr. Sutton was married in 1864 to Miss Etta Smith, who was born and reared in Vermont. After a happy married life, covering a quarter of a century Mr. and Mrs. Sutton were separated by the death of the latter in 1889.
Mr. Sutton formerly gave his support to the democratic party but is now a republican, casting his last presidential votes for Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt. His activity in business has not only contributed to his individual success, but has also been a prominent factor in the development of Buena Vista county where he has so long made his home and although he now resides in Sioux City, where much of his interest centers, he still maintains a deep concern in the section of the state which he saw grow and develop from a wild region into a rich agricultural district and his labor was an important means in bringing this about.
