Angola Herald
Wednesday, January 30, 1878


              We are under obligations to Elder W. P. Aylsworth,
            who attended the funeral of the late Rev. T. P. SUTTON,
            whose death occurred at Butler, De Kalb county, on
            Thursday of last week, for the following particulars
            concerning the life work of the subject of this sketch:
            
              Eld. THOMAS P. SUTTON was born in White Eyes township,
            Coshocton county, Ohio, July 29th, 1840, and died Jan.
            24th, 1878, at Butler, Indiana.
              He entered the army in 1863, remaining in the service
            until the close of the war. During a part of the time
            he acted as chaplain of the regiment to which he belonged.
            After his return home he purchases a small farm in Gratiot
            county, Mich., where he remained only a short time, having
            determined to devote his time wholly to the ministry. 
            Since that time he has been laboring in the ministry of
            the Christian Church in the vicinity of his home. His
            ministry has been one of marked success. At the time of
            his death he was president of the Northern Indiana
            Ministerial Association of the Christian Church, which
            position he filled with entire satisfaction. At the last
            meeting of the State Mission board of his church he was
            employed for one-half his time to act as State Evangilist
            and had begun his work with success.
              Rev. Sutton had for some time suffered from cancer in
            the face and it was the effect of that which finally
            caused his death.
              His funeral last Friday was largely attended. Several
            clergymen, both of his own and other churches were pre-
            sent to testify their respect. The sermon was delivered
            by Eld. W. P. Aylsworth of this place.
