Death of Hon. Lucius F. Suthon. - Hon. Lucius F. Suthon, a prominent lawyer 
and planter of Terrebonne parish, died at the Hotel Dieu, New Orleans, on 
the 22nd of January, 1905, from the effects of a carbuncle with which he had 
been afflicted about ten days, and his remains were interred at Houma, La., 
where he had resided and practiced law since 1874. Mr. Sutbou was a native 
of Assumption parish, aged 57 years. He was educated at Bingham High School, 
near Raleigh, N. C.; received the degree of master of arts from the 
university of Edinborough, taught Latin in the Bellevue High School of 
Bedford county, Va., and graduated in law at New Orleans.

In politics Mr. Suthon was a Republican and occupied a leading position in 
the councils of the party for a number of years. He ran for attorney general 
on the Pharr ticket in 1896, and was a delegate at large to the Republican 
national convention last year. He was president of the Greenwood Planting 
Company and of the Houma Fish and Oyster Company, and attorney for the two 
banks at Houma.

In common with a host of admiring friends, The Chief profoundly regrets the 
demise of this estimable gentleman and tenders assurance of sympathy to his 
bereaved relatives, the nearest of whom comprise his aged mother, Mrs. 
Lucius Suthon, of New Orleans; two brothers, Walter J. Suthon, a Terrebonne 
sugar planter, and Hugh S. Suthon, superintendent of the United States Mint 
at New Orleans, and three sisters, Misses Georgiana Suthon, a missionary of 
Japan, Mary and Fanny Suthon, of New Orleans.
