HENRY SUTTLE.

  Henry Suttle was born in Belleville, Ontario, Canada, February 14, 1840, and
died in Bismarck, N. D., December 18, 1905. Both his parents were born in
Ireland, his mother's maiden name being Sarah Hanna. His father was a Methodist
clergyman and died in 1849, his mother dying some years later.

  Mr. Suttle came west in the early 60's, and from Kansas City, Missouri, he
passed up the Missouri to Ft. Pierre and Ft. Rice, finally reaching the place
where Bismarck now stands in 1869. He was one of the first settlers in this part
of the state and the trees he set out on his claim were among the first of the
kind in North Dakota. On March 1, 1875, he filed on the seventh homestead
entered in the western land district of the upper Missouri country, comprising
that part of the present state west of Stutsman county.

  For many years he had a wood yard on Sibley Island where he sold wood to
passing steamers and to commandants of the U. S. army post, old Ft. Lincoln. He
knew all the steamboat captains of that time and knew intimately the details of
this very interesting period of our state history. On the Sth of March, 1877, he
married Eliza M. Lee at her home in Brighton, Ontario. After his return to
Bismarck soon after this he engaged in farming on his homestead. During the boom
times of 1883 he bought a lot in Bismarck and erected a house where he lived
until his death.
