**********************************************************************

E. E. Sutherland, a widely and favorably known farmer and stockman of
Jefferson township, Johnson county, is a member of one of the highly
honored and most prominent pioneer families of Missouri, a representa-
tive native son of Johnson county.  Mr. Sutherland was born September
25, 1888 at the Sutherland homestead where he still resides, in Jeff-
erson township, a son of Daniel Logan and Mary Elizabeth (Garrett)
Sutherland, both of whom are natives of Missouri.  Daniel Logan Suther-
land was born in St. Clair county, Missouri in 1846, son of Uriah L. 
and Margaret J. Sutherland.  The Sutherland family is of Scotch lineage
and different members of the family were prominent in the colonial 
history of our country, the father of Uriah L. Sutherland, Daniel 
Sutherland, Sr., giving faithful and effective service in the War of
1812.  Elizabeth (Garrett) Sutherland is the daughter of J. W. and Ann
Tanda Garrett.  To Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Logan Sutherland have been born
the following children: James O., representative from Johnson county to
the Missouri State Legislature, a successful farmer and stockman of
Windsor, Missouri; Leland B., Windsor, Missouri; Sam H., Windsor, Miss-
ouri; Mrs. Walter Botts, Mangum, Oklahoma; Mrs. W. G. Ruffin, Windsor,
Missouri; E. E., the subject of this review; and Roland G., of Pettis
county, Missouri.  The Sutherlands resided at the old Sutherland home-
place for thirty-five or forty years and in December, 1907, Mr. and 
Mrs. Sutherland moved to Windsor, Missouri in Henry county, and in this
city they are now making their home.  A more comprehensive sketch of 
the Sutherland family appears in connection with the biography of D. L.
Sutherland, which will be found elsewhere in this volume.  At Sunnydale
school house in Jefferson township, E. E. Sutherland obtained his 
elementary education.  He is a graduate of Windsor High School, Windsor
Missouri and after completing the high school course he attended the
Missouri State University, at which institution he completed a short
course, and entered William Jewell College, for one term.  When Mr.
Sutherland was twenty-one years of age, he began life for himself 
engaged in farming and stock raising on the homeplace, where he has 
since remained.  He is an industrious, intelligent, young husbandman
and is making a marked success in his chosen vocation, following in the
footsteps of his father who was one of the leading and most prosperous
agriculturists and stockmen of western Missouri for many years and is 
still a man of influence and prominence in his community.  The marriage
of E. E. Sutherland and Nelle Grace Yunker was solemnized September 29,
1909.  Mrs. Sutherland was born at Nevada, Missouri, but from infancy
until the time of her marriage she lived at Sedalia, Missouri.  To Mr.
and Mrs. Sutherland have been born three children:  Frances Jane,
Marjorie Leone, and Ernest Eldon, Jr.  The Sutherlands have long main-
tained a high standing, financially and socially, in Johnson county and
Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland are very popular with a large and ever widening
circle of friends in Jefferson township.  They are faithful workers and
valued members of the Baptist church.  Politically, Mr. Sutherland is
a stanch Democrat.
