... Harold Sutton (1905-1986), son of Emerson Otto and Margarete, was a well-known West Creek farmer like his ancestors, and lived and retired on the old farm established by his grandfather, Gabriel Sutton, in 1862. He was very active in his community. For 62 years he was a member and representative of the Gleaners Life Ins. Society and is well-remembered for his participation in Lowell Lions Club projects, including the construction of the football field on South Nichols St. in Lowell during the 1940's. He served on the Board of Governors of the Three Creeks Historical Assn. as a representative from the West Creek area and was active in establishing and performing the work of the historical group.
Harold's grandson, Kenneth Sutton, wrote this about him in 1976: "He is one of the most knowledgable people I know. He has built up our farm very much since his father died, adding such things as a sawmill, shop and modern barn. He is famous for all of these. People still come to have lumber sawed at his sawmill, things made from his large assortment of machines which include a milling machine, a metal lathe, and a planer, or to see a silo unloader in operation."
On Jan 14, 1933, Harold Sutton married Lillian Stuppy, born in 1912, daughter of John and Dora Stuppy and granddaughter of Phillip and Bridget Murphy Stuppy, who came to Indiana from Pennsylvania in about 1871. ... [article includes living descendants]
