"John has lately married, her name is Mary Brown. Has his claim [Donation Land Claim] all fenced and a good framed barn, a log house, and with his mother's help, good decent beds to bring his wife into. Has plenty of stock and his grain sowed except for a piece of ground broke to plant in corn and grain a plenty in his barn and as neat a one horse buggy as need be and not much to do but to ride about with his wife in his buggy. If he cannot take pleasure in this life now, he need not ever expect to."

John died from typhoid fever as well as his children, America, Sarah and James.
He shares his headstone with his son, James B. Sutherlin. His daughters America and Sarah lie beside him and his son.
