ELIZABETH SPEERS SUTTON - Sutton #11174: Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883 Bourbon Co. Mrs. Elizabeth Speers Sutton. “Old Ladies”. This lady was a native of Kentucky. She was born in Bourbon county on the 10th of March, 1794, and hence is a little more than eighty-nine years of age. She came to Missouri with her family about the year 1837 and first settled in Boone county, where after a residence of one year they removed to Pike, settling in the county sometime during the year 1838. Her husband is also still living, and like Mrs. Sutton, in the enjoyment of remarkable health for one of his age. Mrs. Sutton is the mother of ten children, seven of whom still survive. She has also quite a number of grandchildren and some great grandchildren living in the county. Mrs. Sutton was married when about twenty years of age and has thus lived with her husband for almost seventy years, without either having occasion to regret the choice they made in the long ago. She has always been an active, stirring woman, and has contributed her full part towards rearing and caring for the large family they have raised. She was brought up to work, and has never felt that any assistance rendered her husband in his efforts to provide for those about him either distracted from her responsibility or in any manner operated to her disadvantage. Mrs. Sutton is a consistent member of the Baptist Church, having attached herself to this religious organization more than fifty years ago. She is recognized as a good neighbor, a kind friend, a devoted mother and an earnest Christian.
