Saturday, April 10, 1909, was
the fiftieth anniversary of the
wedding day of Mr.. and Mrs. N.
II. Sutton. Uncle Nat was born
near Spencerburg, Pike County,
Missouri, seventy-seven years
ago last December. He came to
Audrain County in the spring of
1855 and located on the farm
where he now lives, buying land
from the government at twelve
and one-half cents per acre un-
der the administration of James
Buchanan, whose signature il
attached to the patent which he
now has in his possession. Go
ing to work with energy and in
telligence and managing his af-
fairs to the best advantage, he
soon had his place in a good
state of cultivation, building inn
provements comfortable, though
small at the start.
Having no taste for the bache-
lOr's hall way of living, he was
married to Sarah Il. Toliver April
no, 1859, who came TO this
county with her parents from
Shelby County, Missouri, in 1855
land located on what is known as
the Toliver farm just east of
Farber. Mr.. and Mrs. Sutton
had never met pryor to 1855. In
those early days and busy times
social functions were not as nu,
merous as at the present time
lbut nevertheless, they became
acquainted and were married as

groom's parents near Spencers-
burg, the journey to which was
made on horseback, distance
of about twenty miles. They re-
turned the same week and went
to housekeeping on the farm
where they now live. In those
early days they worked oxen
almost exclusively, horses being
scarce and expensive and the
greenhead flies being so bad
that horses were not satisfactory,
anyway. Mrs. Sutton at various
times carried the "smudge pot, I"
which is a kettle with smOlder-
ing fire in it to keep the flies off
the oxen while they were at work
in the field. They had been mar
ried two years when the civil war
broke out. Mr.. Sutton having
no one to leave with his family
did not enlist. lie was an ardent
southern sympathiZer and had
several narrow escapes. At one
time he was taken a prisoner of
war and court martialed and or
dered shot, but some of his
friends interceded and the order
was reversed. They kept n light
heart and cheerful disposition
through the trials of the war and
the adversities of reconstruction
days, and now live as a monu-
ment to perseverance and thrift.
To this union were born six
children, two dying in infancy.
Those living are, A. a. Sutton,
Mrs. Mary NJ. Sutton and Mrs
Catherine Ball, of Audrain Com.
ty, and j. p. Sutton of st. Louis
Mr.. and Mrs. Sutton have long
been devoted members of the
Baptist church and are the only
surviving charter members of the
Farber congregation. They cele
brated their Golden Wedding by
attending preaching on that day
