Jacksonville Journal - 13 Jun 1893
"Last night at 10:40 o'clock Stephen Sutton died at his home on south Main 
street.  He had been sick for about four years off and on, and had not been 
able to be down town since last fall, except one day that he rode as far as the 
square on the streeet car.  He had been confined to his bed only one week and 
his death was caused by a general breaking up from old age.  He was born at 
Newark, New Jersey, January 18, 1815, and removed to this city in 1837.  For a 
number of years he was circuit clerk.  He came here in company with John W. 
Goltra, who was buried yesterday.  In the early day they came together and 
settled here and now within a few days of each other they pass away.  Owing to 
the lateness of the hour last at which he died we will have to defer full 
particularrs and the hour of the funeral until tomorrow."

Additional Comments:
Buried at Diamond Grove Cemetery, Jacksonville.
