Catharine Mahala 'Kate' (Shirer) Sutton |
Catharine Mahala "Kate" (Shirer) Sutton was born on Oct. 16, 1848 in Adams Township, Muskingum County, OH, the daughter of Valentine and Hester "Esther" (Gaumer) Shirer Jr.
When she was 19 years of age, on Dec. 22, 1867, she was united in marriage with Samuel W. Sutton (1845- ? ). The ceremony may have been performed by J.M. Shirer.
They resided on a farm near Adamsville and had three children,
among them Bertha P. Sutton, Mary E. Sutton and Alice M. Sutton.
In the 1890s, they provided a home for Kate's widowed mother on the home farm, and the mother eventually died on Sept. 7, 1897.
By 1900, census records show that the Suttons had migrated to a farm in Washington Township, Marion County, IN.
Kate was felled by a stroke at the age of 79 and died on Aug. 17, 1928. Burial was in Indianapolis, IN. A.E. Hanks of Adamsville was the informant for her official Ohio death certificate.
