Sutton Dr. Levi L Sutton, a farmer and practicing physician, and one of the first settlers in this part of the county, died at his home, seven and one-half miles east of Hatton, Thursday, November 22, 1906. He was born in Orleans County New York, Sept 1, 1835. His early education was secured in the schools of Laper, Michigan, and later he took a course in the Rome academy. Upon arriving at his majority, he left school and engaged in teaching. Later he took up farming and practicing medicine. He had a reputation as a physician in pneumonia and typhoid fever cases that might well be envied by any member of the medical proffession. In 1887 he came to Adams County Washington, direct from the east, and settled where he lived up to the time of his death. He was the first settler in that township, and his was the first house built in that vicinity. There were no roads in that section of the county at that time and the nearest water was a distant eight miles. He first took a homestead and timber culture and improved these claims, then as circumstances permitted he purchased more land, until now his estate comprises a section and a quarter. His has one of the largest and handsomest houses in the vicinity. It contains fourteen rooms and is modern throughout. He raised a great quantity of fruit each years and his wheat crop sometimes ran as high as 18,000 bushels in one year. To Dr. and Mrs. Sutton were born four children: Elmer G. Sutton, now in Seattle; Ida B. Hackett, now in Walla Walla; William J. Sutton, exp-pricipal of the normal school at Cheney and Byron L. Sutton, now one of the largest farmers and land owners on Rattlesnake Flat. Dr. Sutton was an active Democrat, at the hands of which party in Michigan he held office for seven years. In fraternal circles he was known as a member of the F. & A. M., and Mrs. Sutton is a member of the Eastern Star. Both were members of the Methodist Episcopal church.

He was born in Orleans county, New York, September 1, 1835, the son of John and Susan (Williamson) Sutton, the father a native of Pennsylvania and the mother of New Jersey.

Dr. Sutton received his early education in the country schools of Lapeer county, Michigan, and later he took a course in Romeo academy. Upon arriving at his majority he left school and engaged in teaching. Later he took up farming and practicing medicine. He followed this dual occupation a number of years, when, in 1887, he came to Adams county, Washington, direct from the east and settled where he still lives. He was the first settler in that township, and his was the first house to be built in that vicinity. There were no roads in that section of the county at that time, and the nearest water was distant eight miles. He first took a homestead and timber culture, improved these claims, then as circumstances permitted, he purchased more land until he now owns a section where he lives, and a quarter section just across the road from his home. All of his land is fenced, improved and under cultivation. He has one of the largest and handsomest houses in the vicinity. It contains fourteen rooms and is modern throughout. Other improvements on his farm include a large barn, repair shop, tool house, etc. In addition to his own land he has a lease on three hundred and twenty acres, making a total of eleven hundred and twenty acres which he farms. He raises a great quantity of fruit each year, and his wheat crop runs as high as eighteen thousand bushels in one year. In 1859 Dr. Sutton was married to Sarah J. Goodenough, daughter of James and Mary (Hiller) Goodenough, natives of New York, who settled in that state after their marriage, and remained there until 1834, when they removed to Michigan, and there spent the remainder of their lives. They were parents of seven children, John, Josephine, Josephus, Sarah J., Joanna, Mary M. and William. To Dr. and Mrs. Sutton have been born four children; Elmer G., in Seattle; Ida B., married to John Hackett, of Adams county; William J., ex-principal of the normal school at Cheney, whose life is sketched elsewhere in this volume; and Byron, who lives with his parents.
