General Notes: Husband - James M. Sutton


He spent his boyhood days on the home farm and at the age of twenty years started to learn the milling trade with his uncle, James Sutton, with whom he continued for two years. He was next employed one year at the H. Gibson Mill in Allegheny Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, conducted by William Turner, after which he rented and operated for two years an old mill at Maple Furnace. After spending three years in the oil fields, he was employed successively at the Courtney Mill in Mer-cer County, the Cornelius Mill at McCoytown, the Rogers Mill owned by Robert Gilkey in Mercer County, the old Campbell Mill owned by Thomas Elliott, the Fisher Mill near Eastbrook, in Law-rence County; the Hope Mill near Mercer County, the New Hamburg Mill owned by John Wheeler and the Old Etna Mill owned by Shepherd & Daugherty near Slippery Rock. In 1895 he moved to Harrisville and began work in the mill in the employ of Samuel B. Bingham. He purchased this plant in 1903, increased its capacity from ten to twenty barrels per day and established a thriv-ing business, having his son, J. Chalmer, as his partner.
