                Final Rites For Daniel Thomas Sutton.
   Mr. Daniel Thomas Sutton, an honored citizen of Rochelle for sixty years, 
died at his suburban home Thursday evening, November twenty-seventh.  Funeral

   Grandsons served as pall bearers:  James Sutton, George Sutton, Leroy

   The remaining nineteen grandchildren, twenty-three great grand children and 
one great, great grandchild were honorary pall bearers.
   Interment was in Morningside Cemetery, Rochelle.  Dorsey Funeral Home in

   Mr Sutton was a descendant of Rev. Zacharith Sutton and his wife, Frusannah 
Askew, of North Carolina, pioneer settlers of Dooly County, where Mr. Sutton 
was born.  His father was Marcus Sutton, who gave his life serving with the 
Confederacy during the Civil War, and his mother was Edna Jane Futrel.  He 
was  married to Miss Georgia Lou Royal, also of pioneer Dooly county 
families.  She survives her husband.
   Of their fifteen children, seven are yet living:  John D. Sutton, Victor R.

Rochelle; Fred Sutton, of Columbus; Mrs. Edwin A. Beeks, of Spartanburg, S.C.

   Mr. Sutton was a retired planter and turpentine operator.  He would have 
been 96 years of age on his approaching birthday, January 13, which date would 
have marked his seventy-fourth wedding anniversary.  He and his valued wife, 
who is ninety years of age, have lived a long and useful life in the 
community, and are leaving descendants who are perpetuating their fine 
Christian ideas.
