A DAY'S EVENTS AT HADDONFIELD

Haddonfield, N. J., April 20---No word has yet been received concerning the whereabouts of Frederick Sutton, and it is evident that he perished beneath the turbulent waters of the Atlantic with the giant steamship Titanic, on which he took passage. Dr. and Mrs. Francis Tomlin, his daughter and son-in-law, J. Fithian Tatem and other friends went to New York still clinging to the hope that perchance he was on the Carpathia.
The following are a few interesting facts concerning Mr. Sutton. He was born in England in 1855, and when at the age of twenty came to the United States. About two years later he founded the firm of Sutton and Vansant, coffee importers. He moved to Haddonfield a few years later, shortly after he had married Miss Ella Underdown, daughter of William Underdown, a former cashier of the Mechanics' National Bank. His first residence was on Fowler avenue, but later moved to Madison avenue, where he has since made his home. Mr. Sutton was fond of the water and nothing suited him better than to take a trip across the water to his native land during the winter. He was largely interested in seashore enterprises, and was president of the First National Bank, of Collingswood, and a director of the Marine National Bank, of Wildwood, both thriving institutions. He held the office of treasurer in the following corporations: Wildwood Hotel Company, Five-Mile Beach Electric Company, West Jersey Electric Company, and North Wildwood Electric Company. Mr. Sutton was well known throughout the town and was a prominent citizen. His loss is mourned by the scores of friends which he leaves behind.
