The chimney had been causing trouble and he had climbed onto the roof of the house to make some repairs. Mrs. Sutton was at home but she did not know what he was doing. On going into the yard she found his body lying on the ground. Mr. Sutton was a truck service man for the county garage located at White Cloud, where they had resided for several years. Mr. Sutton was the son of Benjamin and Mattie Sutton, and was born on a farm northwest of Hillsboro. He was married to Zeta Snyder, of Hillsboro more than 30 years ago.
