JUDGE [SUTHERLIN] DIES AT HOME IN DE SOTO PARISH.
Widely Known Justice Succumbs Suddenly at Mansfield.
SHREVEPORT, La., Oct. 22. - Judge E. W. Sutherlin, 73 years old, prominent in Louisiana politics, court and legislative affairs, died suddenly at his plantation home near Mansfield, Desoto parish, yesterday. He made his home in Shreveport until last April when he removed to his plantation home where he was reared.
Educated at Louisiana State University, Judge Sutherlin began the practice of law in Mansfield in 1873 and rapidly became prominent in state politics. He was elected a delegate to the state constitutional convention in 1879 when only 28 years old. In 1884, he was elected to the state senate, where he devoted most of his talent and energies to legislation relating to the educational system.
Judge Sutherlin served a term as judge of the court of appeal from Desoto parish and later moved to Shreveport and entered private practice with Judge W. P. Hall as his law partner. He was elected district judge for Caddo shortly afterwards, from which office he resigned before his term expired.
Judge Sutherlin was married twice, first to Miss Mollie Elam of Mansfield, a daughter of the late J. B. Elam, a former congressman. His second wife was Miss Marie Williamson, daughter of the late George Williamson of Shreveport. He is survived by three daughters, Margaret, Mary and Sarah, and two sons John and George, who reside at the plantation home.
Judge Sutherlin was the son of the late John H. Sutherlin, for many years clerk and later district judge of Desoto parish. Funeral services will be held in Mansfield this afternoon.
Judge Sutherlin was married to Mary "Mollie" Elizabeth Elam and after her death married Mary Leigh Marshall Williamson.
