Mr. Sutter is the son of John and Elizabeth (Tinsley) Sutter, and was
born September 7th, 1842, in Clay County, Missouri.  His father was
born in Lorraine, France, but his parents soon after moved to Paris,
where he took the position of butler for a nobleman, and traveled all
over the old world with his employer.  He went to Clay County, Mo., in
1837, and followed farming extensively until his death in October, 
1860.  His wife died when Lewis was but three years old.  She was of
the family of Tinsleys, of Kentucky, that produced so much tobacco. 
Lewis was educated in Clay County, and remained at home on the farm 
until his father's death.  In February, 1862, he enlisted in Company F
Missouri State Militia, at Plattsburg, Missouri, and was mustered out
at Springfield, April 9th, 1865.  He was married July 13th, 1865, in
this city, to Miss D. E. Britte.  Their union has been blest with two
children, one son and one daughter.  Soon after his marriage he went
back to Clay County, where he lived until October, 1867, and then re-
turned to Springfield, where he has been in the grocery business ever
since.  He is the senior member of the large grocery house of Sutter 
& Bryan on Boonville street.
