   JULIAN L. SUTTLE, an enterprising young merchant of Blocton, Bibb county,
Ala., is a native of the town, and was born August 28, 1864. His parents, John
W. and Mary A. (Goodwin) Suttle, were pioneers of the county, and became the
parents of a large family of children, of whom the following six are still
living: John C., Annie E., wife of Dr. Davis, of Montevallo, Ala.; E. L. and
Mary E., unmarried and living with their mother; M. A., Margaret Henry and her
son, Julius, also live with their mother, Mrs. M. A. Suttle, on the old farm.
The father, John W. Suttle, was a farmer by vocation, and was a very popular
citizen of the county. For many years he served as sheriff, and subsequently for
eighteen years he was judge of probate. The latter office he finally resigned in
order to be able to devote his, entire attention to agriculture, which he
followed until his death. His son, J. C. Suttle, still conducts the farm, which
is situated near Centreville. His widow is a consistent member of the Baptist
church, worshiping in that town. J. L. Suttle was reared on the home plantation,
and was educated at Selma. His first business experience was as a clerk for his
uncle, John K. Goodwin, of Selma, in whose employment he remained from 1872 to
1884. While in this position he acquired a thorough business knowledge. From
1884 to 1888 he was engaged in business for himself as a merchant. In 1889 he
formed a co-partnership at Blocton, Ala., with E. N. Chattingham, and this firm
now deals in general merchandise and miners' supplies. He is a member of the
Knights of Pythias, of the Odd Fellows, of the Red Men, and of the Knights and
Ladies of Honor. He is unmarried, and one of the rising and promising young men
of Bibb county.
