      Sutter. --- Christian B., son of John and Magdalena Sutter, was born Dec. 23, 1869, at Hopedale, Ill.; died at his home in Tiskilwa, Ill., Sept. 19, 1940; aged 70 y. 8 m. 22 d. Death was caused by heart trouble and other systemic complications. He was married to Mary Birkey of Tiskilwa Jan. 23, 1896. To this union four children were born: Mrs. Rufus Bachman, Harvey, Mrs LeRoy Pierson, and Raymond. He is survived by his wife, the above named children (except Harvey, who passed away Aug. 8, 1930), two granddaughters (Marilyn and Diane Pierson) and two brothers (Andrew and Amos of Hopedale, Ill.). At the age of 18, he dedicated his life to Christ, united with the Mennonite Church, and has remained a devout member all his life. His early life was spent at Hopedale, until the time of his marriage, when he moved to Bureau County, where he spent the remainder of his life. Funeral services were held Sept. 22 at the late residence and at Willow Springs Church, in charge of Bros. C. A. Hartzler and Ira Eigsti.
