Patience Emily Sutton

Patience Emily Sutton was the daughter of Rev. Daniel B Sutton and Mary J Roberts. Known all her life as "Emily," she was born 27 Dec 1840 in Greene county, Ohio. Her father was a minister and engaged in farming. He moved their family to Jay county, Indiana when Emily was still young and settled in Richland Township. It was in Richland, that she met Thomas Hall and married him in 1856, at the tender age of 15. Evidence suggests that Thomas had been previously married, and Emily set up household with him and two children from his first marriage.

According to the 1900 census, Emily was the mother of 6 children of her own, 5 of which have been identified. After her husband died in 1903, Emily remained in Dublin near her son, O.D. Hall. As a widow in 1910, she lived on Maple Street and had her own income. She was an ever faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church.

Mrs. Emily Hall passed away at the age of 78 on 19 Jun 1919 while visiting her son-in-law in Indianapolis. She is buried beside her husband in the South Lawn Cemetery, in Dublin, Wayne, Indiana.

   Emily Patience Hall, daughter of Rev. Daniel B. and Mary Sutton was born near Xenia, Green [sic] County, Ohio on December 27th 1840. When a child about five years of age her parents moved to Redkey Jay County, Indiana where she grew to womanhood and where in 1856 she was united in marriage to Thomas Hall. To them were born 3 sons and 3 daughters.
   
   About 26 years ago, she with her husband moved from Redkey to Dublin where in 1904 Father Hall passed to his reward.
   
   Mother Hall (as she was familiarly known) was converted in childhood and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in which her father was an honored and self-sacrificing pioneer preacher. There is no doubt that the religious spirit permeating the home of Mother Hall in her early childhood and to which she heartily responded made possible her early conversion and in maturer years the patient, prayerful, cheerful loving and victorious Christian which all who knew her, know her to have been.
   
   The following few lines are copied from her diary, written in December 1817: "To-morrow is my birthday - 77 years old. Those days have gone never to return. Some have been very happy ; others have been very sad. I would not recall them if I could. I gave my life into my 'Heavenly Fathers' hands to do for me as He sees best. The Calmly in His will I rest. Jesus understand it all. His ways are the best."
   
   Whe was always praising Her Savior. There was nothing wanting in her love and loyalty to her church and her Lord. It can truly be said of her as of Abraham of old, She "... staggered not at the promises of God through unbelief."
   
   Mother Hall was everybodies [sic] friend and she seemed never to weary ministering to others : helping she was happy.
   
   On Wednesday June 11 she went to Indianapolis for a few weeks visit with her daughter and family but on the morning of June 17th was stricken with apoplexy and, after a little less than three days severe sickness, peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, to awake in the Land of Music and Flowers and little Children she loved so much and meet the loved ones gone over.
   
   The Kindred which remain are one brother, two sons, one daughter, fifteen grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
   
   Mother Hall leaves to her loved ones the goodly heritage of a Godly life.

    Henry A. Sutton, M.D., eclectic physician at No. 1506 Jeffries avenue, Marion, Indiana, was born in Jay county, Indiana, November 2, 1847, and is a son of Daniel B. and Mary J. (Roberts) Sutton, natives of Ohio and Pennsylvania, respectively.
    
    Daniel B. Sutton was of English descent, was a farmer by calling and a minister in the Methodist Episcopal church, but is now living at Muncie, Indiana, with his son Samuel, and is eighty-six years of age ; he lost his wife at Redkey, Jay county, just as she had attained the age of eighty-six.
    
    To Daniel B. and Mary J. Sutton were born four children, of whom
    - Samuel, a carpenter and contractor at Muncie, is the eldest ;
    - Emily is the wife of Thomas Hall, a farmer at Redkey ;
    - William was a farmer, enlisted in the Thirty-sixth I.V.I., in the Civil war, and incurred disease which eventually resulted in his death at the age of thirty-three years, at which time he was drawing a pension ;
    - Dr. Henry A. Sutton is the youngest of the family.
    
    Dr. Henry A. Sutton was primarily educated in the common schools of Jay, Delaware and Grant counties, Indiana ; he began the study of medicine in Jay county, later pursued it in Delaware county, and lastly studied under D. Ellsworth, at Lowell, Michigan. Dr. Sutton began practice in Delaware county in 1884 ; moved thence to Michigan, then to Wabash, Indiana, and in 1894 came to Marion, engaged in general practice, and has been very successful professionally, and consequently, financially.
    
    The marriage of Dr. Sutton took place near Bethel, in Delaware county, Indiana, April 2, 1868, to Mrs. Melinda E. Wright, widow of Elisha Wright, who was a soldier in the Civil war for three years and died from disease contracted in the service. Mrs. Sutton is a daughter of John W. and Elizabeth (Reeves) Vincent, ...
    
    To the marriage of the Doctor and Mrs. Sutton have been born four children, namely:
    - Charles, who married Miss Cora Priest, and is engaged in business in Marion ;
    - Mrs. Mary Hodson, who passed away, leaving one daughter, Goldie Hodson, now a member of Dr. Sutton's family ;
    - Frank, who married Ada Parott, in Wabash county, and has two daughters ;
    - Mattie is married to Albert Jackson and resides in Marion.
    
    Dr. Sutton and wife are members of the United Brethren church, in the faith of which their children have been reared, and all have been active in church work. The family is most highly respected, and in his profession the Doctor has but few equals in any part of the state. In politics the Doctor is a Republican, but has never accepted public office.
