Rose Lincoln Sutton, the daughter of Isaiah and Anna Sutton was born in Parke County, March 21, 1862 and died June 10, 1919 aged 57 years, 2 month and 20 day. She was one of a family of 8 children: one brother, M.A. Sutton; the sisters, Mrs. Josephine Hester of Wintertown, Ill; Mrs. Laura McMullen of Crawfordsville; Mrs. James Jarvis and Mrs. Scott Jarvis of Guion and Mrs. Eliza Ware of this place, Mrs. Sanford Carrington of Dana, all of whom survive her. She received her education in the common schools, and after the death of her parents, made her home with Mr. and Mrs. William Jarvis and her sister, Mrs. James Jarvis. The past 24 years, with the exception of about two years, were spent with Mr. and Mrs. William Jarvis. Miss Sutton was of a timid and reserved disposition, not caring to meet strangers, but those to whom she extended her friendship, found her a true and lovable friend. Aunt Virginia and Uncle Will Jarvis, as she called them, accepted her as one of the family, and she was untiring and devoted in her service to them. The nieces and nephews can testify to the many loving deeds bestowed on them by Aunt Rose. For some time she has been sorely afflicted but bore her sufferings with great patience, and was always considerate of those who cared for her. In the last few months she has expressed her belief in the Christ and on the Sunday preceding her death she confessed him as her Lord and Savior. Such is the life of one given out in service to others. Funeral services at the home on Thursday morning were conducted by Rev. E. E.. Moormans of Englewood Christian Church, Indianapolis. Interment at Maple Ridge Cemetery. - kbz
