The TALES you probably never heard about

ADA MAY SUTTON

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 12 May 1921]

A sad death occurred at the Welland County Hospital, on Friday morning, May 6th, when Ada May (Phillips), beloved wife of Warren Sutton, passed peacefully to rest.  Of a kind and loving disposition, highly respected by all who knew her, and passionately fond of little children, she leaves a gap in family and church circles hard to fill.

Mrs. Sutton was born in Thorold Township, a short distance from Welland, and educated in Welland High School and the St. Catharines Business College; taught school in Crowland, O’Reilly’s Bridge and Forks Road, and St. Catharines Business College in the course of her studies.

Mr. and Mrs. Sutton were married on Dec. 1, 1909. She has resided in Welland ever since with the exception of two years, when she resided at Chantlers, Ont.

She leaves besides a mourning husband, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Phillips, of Thorold township, and two brothers and two sisters, L.W. and H.T. of Welland, Mrs. D. Flick, Welland and Mrs. Harry Poth, of Chantlers.

The funeral was held on Monday, May 9th on which day she would have been 34 years of age had she lived, meeting at the residence at 2 o’clock, the funeral proceeding to the Methodist Church, where fitting service was held by the Rev. Mr. Neal of Fenwick after which the remains were laid to rest in Fonthill cemetery.
