"Newsy Notes From Whigham"
Mr. O. N. Sutton died very suddenly Sunday evening while enroute home from a 
visit to his sister, Mrs. John Garland.  He got back to the home of Mr. Tom 
Harrison, about six miles from town, and after having passed there, Mr. 
Harrison noticed the buggy standing in the road for some time, and knowing it 
was Mr. Sutton's buggy, went to it and found him out on the ground with his 
face in his hands, and on speaking to him as he walked up and there was no 
reply, Mr. Harrison raised him up and found that he was speechless.  In the 
meantime, preacher Merritt drove up, and assisted in carrying him to Mr. 
Harrison's residence.  The news was hurried to his sister Mrs. Gene Thomas in 
Whigham, and other nearby relatives.  He was buried with Masonic honors in the 
cemetery at Whigham Monday afternoon.  Funeral services were conducted by his 
pastor, Rev. N. G. Christopher.  Mr. Sutton held a responsible position with 
the G. D. McNair Co. for several months.  He leaves two children to mourn his 
death, who did not get the news in time to get here to the interrment.  They 
are with relatives in Tallahassee.  He also leaves three sisters, Mrs. Gene 
Thomas of Whigham, Mrs. John Garland of Reagan and Mrs. Charlie Chason of 
Calvary.  Mr. Sutton was connected with the most prominent families of Grady 
and Decatur, and the families have the heartfelt sympathy of their many 
friends.
