AN old
PIONEER.
SKETCH OF WIN. II, H. sUTLIFF, OF
WELLINGTON.
Birth-Early Life+ Eardshlps Endured
Came from Large Family Faith
er Of Another Large FamiIy-Trips to
Michigan-Final settlement Here.

The subject Of this sketch was born
in Erie county, New York, July 22d,
1915. He was a son Of Salmon and
Anna Beeman) Sdtif. In August,
1920, when William was five years old,
the family emigrated to Ohio. The
journey was made with horses and
wagon, conveying a few household
goods. Two cows and a few sheep
we're driven along. They passed
through Buffalo, N. Y, which at that
time consisted Of afew dirty cabins or
ghanties. Passing Through Cleveland,
o., they counted thirteen small log
houses with not an acre cleared in any
one place on Superior, the only street
in the city.
Being ferried across the Cuyahpga
FLYER, they proceeded onward and
reached Avon township, Lorain county,
where they remained until a piece of
land was bought in Carlisle township
and a log house built for the family.
Into this they moved january 1, 1921,
before any of the cracks were "chink-
ed" This residence they improved,
however, by laying floor of puncheons
or split logs, building a chimney,
"chinking" and mudding the cracks,
fireplace and hearth with pole placed
a few feet above the hearth from ore
side of the chimney to the other, on
which to hang kettles, etc.
Their bread was made mostly of
cornmeal, sometimes rye, wheat -four
being kept for special occasions. Their
meat was mostly venison and young
fatted pork. Tea was almost unknown,
and for coffee they burned an ear of

for one in Wellington. He has lived in
this vicinity ever since.
His wife died in 1888 and in 1891 he
married Mrs. Dency Rugg.
Mr.. Sutlitf has been lifelong farmer
and dairyman; has held many Offices,
such as school director, clerk of school
boards, supervisor of highway, county
commissioner one term, etc. He was
always charitable to the poor, benevo-
lent toward the church at home and
abroad, and has invested $1,1OO in, a
church building in Wellington, of
which he has been one Of the trustees
for thirty-one years, and has been a
member of the M. E. church since he
was sixteen years old.
In politics he has always been a re-
publican. His first presidential vote
was cast for William Henry Harrison.
Mr.. Sutliff is an honored and respect
ed member of our community, and al
though very near Deaths door a year
or two ago, by sickness, he is now in
good health for a man OF his age, and
we bespeak for him many years Of
travel yet down the western declivity
of his career.

it with maple sugar
The now thriving town of Elyria con-
sisted then of three little huts, one of
which was occupied by Herman Ely,
another by A. Beebe and the third by
Mr.. Sholes, who kept a small grocery.
Thirteen children were born to Salm-
on and Anna Sutliff-nine boys and
four girls, our subject being the second
in order.
Those living in this vicinity are Miles
w., living in Penfeld township, and
Rosetta, widow of VIM. Gott, living
east of this town.
William Il. II. received his education
in Carlisle township during the old log
school house period of three-quarters
of century ago. His iboyhood was
spent in harmony with the spirit of
the times, wearing homemade clothes
and going without boots until twenty
years of age. He worked on the farm
in daytime and hunted coons and
skunks at night. When the town of
Oberlin was laid out he worked there
nearly three years, clearing the site for
the future city. In 1884, our hero drove
a four-ox team, on contract, with a
load Of $500 pounds, to Jonesville,
Hillsdale county, Michigan, through a
totally new country. Performing this
feat, he returned to Ohio and pursued
his usual avocation until March, 1888,
when he engaged to drive another four
OK team to Ionia, Mich. This journey
was greatly hampered by mud and
storm, and occupied twenty-six days.
Returning to Ohio, mostly on foot, the
same year, he and his brother, Asa G.,
and Mr.. Murray, converted their eff
fects into twenty head of cattle and
started for Ionia, Mich, which they
reached after many hardships incident
to mud, swamp and wilderness.
In 1910 Mr.. Sutliff married Miss
Phoebe D. Gott, of La Grange, Ohio,
and the fruit of that union was twelve
children, all sons but one.
The late Charles E., well known in
Wellington, was the third in order,
The others, who are well known here,
are Frederick Eugene, Franklin Pierce
aud Emma Jane (now Mrs. Bert White
head, all of Wellington.
In 1s41 Mr.. and Mrs. Sutlitf emil
grated to their new home in Michigan,
shove alluded to, arriving there rich in
health but without dollar in pocket.
Here they lived and labored, undergo
ing the usual priyations of pioneer life

One crying need of Wellington is Board of Trade,
or something analogous thereto. 1t might consist of
committee of citizens, vested with semi-oical powers
1t should consist of at least good business who
are alive to the interests of the town. These should
be chosen at convention of the people They
should be chosen not politicians wire puers but as
men who financially interested in the material growth
and advancement of the town. They should be such men
from both moral and business point of view as would
command the respect and confidence of the people whom
they They should then be endowed with power to
certain extent to act in the way of looking for bus
opportunities for the town. should be able to invite
foreign capital to invest in business here and be authorz
ed to guarantee to such foreigners all the moral and ma
teal support and encouragement that it would be con-
sistan for them to give This is the way cities are built

Cities how much essential it is for towns and vii

The Congregational Church Ami
yersary is now thing of the past, but
will linger long in the memory. The
day was manufactured to order. The
weather was simply perfect. Expec.
tation had been wrought up to high
pitch. The workers of this church
deserved all the favorable conditions
which we're met on this occasion. We
judge they were not disappointed.
Faithful committees had been tireless
in their efforts to make the occasion a
success, and we are only too glad to
record that success was achieved.
There was not an essential cog in the
program wheel that was missing.
Three states were represented in the
order of exercises, and they all furn-
ished their quota.
The program, though somewhat
lengthy and presenting a wide scope,
was commenced on time and not pro-
longed to any tedious length. The ex-
ercises began at $50. with an organ
voluntary, followed by doxology and
invocation. Then beautiful song
How lovely are the messengers"
was rendered by quartet, consisting
Of Miss Benedict, Mrs. King and
Messrs. Dorchester and King. A
scripture lesson was then read by Rev.
G. E. Manchester pastor of the First
Methodist church, Canton, o., and
prayer was offered by Rev. Jas. A.
Daily, This was followed by good old
song; "All Hail the Power of Jesus
Name, in which all heartily joined.
REV. w. Z. BARTON, D. D.
Treated "0lr Church History" in his
peculiar style and .inimitable manner,
much to the pleasure and edification
of those present, after which trio,
consisting OF Miss Benedict, Mrs. King
and Mr.. Wadsworth sang: "Day
Spring from on High. Then follow
ed:
"REMINISCENCES.
This was participated in by E. F.
Webster, Dea. Horace Wadsworth, F.B.
Manley, E.S. Trip, J.T. Haskell, Benz.
Wadsworth and E. T. Clifford in short
and interesting speeches. This was con-
sidered, by many, one of tho most
pleasing features Of the program.
Then came another old fashioned song
How Firm a Foundation" after
which came beautiful
MEMORIAL"
To Rev. Ansel r. CLARK, pastor 1S45-

touching and brought vividly into
retrospect the long time ago, when
the subject Of the sketch went in and
out among the people, many of whom
we're present.
Then followed a paper by Charles
Phelps on the

Elizabeth Johns, and 'The First Con

out the balance of the afternoon ses-
sion, were each interesting, thought
ful, and presented in good style and
in good taste.
NEARER MY GOD TO THEE"
was then sung, the ,henediction pro-
nounced, and the curtain drawn upon
the scenes of the afternoon.
Then followed one of the most en-
joyable features of the occasion, and
as it was not down on the program,
only about 300 people sat down to
SUPPER
in the beautiful church parlors. This
was surprise to many people, but
they very easily conquered their cha
grin, and drowned their injured feel
ings in good cup of fragrant coffee
or tea, and by partaking of the good
and substantial eatables with which
the tables were spread.
THE EVENING SESSION
commenced a little late, but it was
because many of the people wanted to
visit An organ voluntary was play
ed and the hymn; "Come Thou Al
mighty King" was sung, followed by
scripture lesson by Rev. A. G. Wall
and prayer by Rev. h L. Waggoner.
A beautiful anthem was then rendered
by the choir; "The Lord is Exhalted"
after which the audience settled them
selves for the evening feast.
"OUT OF THE OLD CHURCH
INTO THE NEW"
was the first subject, we'll treated by
Rev. Jas. A. DAILY, Muncie, Ind, pastor
from 1877 to 1883 who, in a homelike
pleasing manner gave a history of the
occurrences OF that transition period of
the church when he was pastor Of it,
which witnessed its change Of location
from the present opera house site to
the beautiful corner location across
the park. With twinkle in his eye he
mentioned one cause Of removal, viz.
thedisturbance,of the Methodist breth-
en- who worshiped so close to them.
Whether the good Methodist brethren
reciprocated this sentiment or not, we
are not advised.
This was followed by
"OUR ORDEAL BY FIRE"
by Rev. A. F. Skeele, of Paines vile,
o., pastor 1893 to 1893, which period
covered the time Of the destruction by
fire of the edifice erected under Rev.
Daly's pastorate, and the erection Of
the present edifice. This was given
in Mr.. Skeele's own style and could
not easily have been improved upon.
A breathing spell was taken at this
point to sing another old hymn /;
Crock of Ages, Cleft for Me" and then
"THE PAsTORLEsS CHURCH"
was depicted in suitable and elegant
phrase by Rev. A. H. Currier, D. d.
of 0berlin, who served the church as
its temporary supply during four diff
ferent periods of pastorless condition
which it had suffered. His view of
the case, if needed, would never per-
NIT church, il possible to avoid it,
to lapse into a pastorless condition.
Then,
"THE TIE THAT BINDS"
was the subject OF brief address by
Rev. H. NJ. Tenney, d. d.. OF 0berlin
who teated it in graceful, scholarly
manner, which was well received by
all. This was followed by an anthems
