VI. THE GEORGE SUTTER FAMILY
HISTORY OF SUTTER FAMILY
As told by Anna Sutter Sullivan, only survivor of ten children February 1959 to her niece, Camilla A. Sutter Cregan.
Mathis and Magdelene Sutter, parents of George Sutter, then four years old (born March 13, 1823), left their fatherland in March 1827 from Abermettie Province of Baden near Frieberg, Germany. They came by sail boat, sailing for many weeks before landing at New York City.
They journeyed up the Erie Canal and stopped at a place called Manlius Center, New York. Mathis Sutter intended going on to the West Coast where there was a rush for gold discovered. Capt. John Sutter (relative) and Mathis became separated on the beat, John going West. Friends from the same place in Germany saw the Sutters on the boat and persuaded them to get off the boat and settle nearby.
This they did, and bought a plot of land down canal (East) called "The Island". There were four children here: George, born in Germany, Alane, Mathis Jr. and Barbara, born in the U.S.A.
When George was old enough, he worked out among farmers, hard work and small pay. He went to Manlius, New York first and worked for two Misses Collins who owned a large farm and had a manager to run it. He had little schooling but said he learned from his employers and the daily papers. When he returned from Manlius, he went to Syracuse, New York where he worked for a short period. He did the first plowing on the old cemetery ground located on N. Lodi Street where the N. High School stands. Upon his return to Manlius Station, New York, he bought 35 acres of land and started clearing the house and barn.
In the meantime, Peter Snyder, Sr. (1883) came from Alsace Lorraine, Germany. He was a carpenter and worked in the salt sheds in Syracuse, New York. In 1835 he was called back to Germany by a death in the family. He returned bringing his wife Catherine and five year old daughter, Ann Snyder, born April 19, 1830. He bought a plot of land one mile north of Manlius Station. There was a log house on it; also a barn. They had three children: Ann, born in Germany, Peter Jr. and Helen, born in the U.S.A. The Snyders worked hard to clear more land and have a good home. In a short time, Peter Sr. built the house still in good condition, over 100 years old, with some remodeling. Both Peter and Catherine died about 1885-86.
The Sutters and Snyders met after a few years passed and George, then 25, was married to Ann Snyder, age 18, on June 18, 1848 in the first St. Mary's Catholic Church by Rev. Theodore, pastor with Vincent Balsley and Mary Collins as attendants. George and his bride went to their new home, N. Main Street, now Minoa, New York. They had ten children, four boys and six girls; the four oldest were born in the original house where the farm was purchased. Ann's father, Peter Snyder, later built the house now standing.
FRANK A. SUTTER
Frank A. Sutter, born October 24, 1862, as a young boy served daily mass in St. Mary's Church. He was a great favorite of all the pastors who often took him along wherever they were going. Every morning he would go to the rectory to see if the pastor was ready to go to church. On June 6, 1876 he went as usual and found him dead in bed of a heart attack, Fr. Charles Henger, age 48. He was buried in St. Mary's cemetery.
Frank did very little work on the farm as he was too busy with church affairs. In 1881 and 1882, he taught one term in a German school preparing boys and girls to make their First Holy Communion. There were over 100 in the class. Rev. Joseph Resch was the last circuit pastor under the Bishop. He returned to Paris and the Franciscan Fathers took over in 1886.
In September of 1886, Frank went to Niagara University which he attended for three years before his health failed and he had to give up.
In August 1887, he went with a party of men to Pomona, California where he worked as a carpenter. In December he was stricken with Typhoid Fever and had to stay. until spring before he was able to return in March 1888 to Syracuse.
There he stayed with his sister, Mrs. George Zink, (Julia), until May before he could come home and was he a thankful fellow for he never expected to see home again!
In 1890, Frank represented Will and Baumer Candle Co. and stopped in all the major cities in the U.S. to the West Coast and Canada. A few years passed and in 1896 he began to think about settling down. He purchased a flour mill in Chittenango and did a good business there.
On September 2, 1897, he married Maude K. Curtin of Marcellus in Xavier Church by Rev. William McDonald of Geneva, New York. Two sons were born in Chittenango, W. Francis and H. Gerard (Jim). In a few years he moved to Fayetteville where he managed a grocery store and became interested in real estate. One daughter, Camilla, was born there. In a few years he bought another flour mill in Groton, New York, where another daughter, Virginia, was born. Later, he returned to Fayetteville to the grocery store business again and continued to buy up properties. A few years later he was stricken with appendicitis and died within a week, April 13, 1914, at age 51. Maude Curtin Sutter lived on here with the family until her death, February 16, 1917, at age 48.
Theodore S. Sutter
Theodore S. Sutter, born June 9, 1860, was devoted to his home; he was the second child born in it and helped his father on the farm. At five he became an altar boy and when the first St. Mary's Church burned in 1881, he would go to mass every morning and serve in the little German school. He acted as Trustee more than fifty years. Then when the second St. Mary's Church was moved to the Village of Minoa, he was appointed by Bishop Duffy as Secretary-Treasurer of the Trustees. He filled this office faithfully at two Sunday masses at three Holyday masses until the day he passed away from a heart attack August 4, 1956. At this time he and his youngest sister, Anna Sutter Sullivan, were living in the family home; the mother had died 45 years previous and Anna Sullivan's husband, Matthew J. Sullivan, had died March 12, 1944. On April 6, 1956, they sold the farmland to St. Mary's Church for a Parochial School to be built in the near future. They retained an acre of ground around the house of which they retained the life use,
Ted had a remarkable memory and kept a continuous diary from 1879 so accurate and complete that it was referred to by people from miles around and even accepted as evidence in court cases. In it were recorded family events besides everything that happened locally, in U.S cities and in foreign countries. He voted a straight Democratic ticket for 72 years. He liked to go places and enjoyed telling what he saw but was always glad to return to the home he loved. He never married but lived a good Christian bachelor life until his death at age 96. He was laid to rest in St. Mary's Cemetery of which he was a faithful custodian for years and is located next to the house in which he spent his entire life from June 9, 1860 to August 4, 1956.
Anna Sutter Sullivan
Anna Sutter, born June 4, 1870, went to the public school at age five which was built the year she was born. She had to attend the German Parochial School in order to make her First Holy Communion which took place in St. Mary's first church at Manlius Station, New York, April 24, 1881, in a class of about 125 children, escorted to the church by a band. The class was Confirmed, May 17, 1881 by Bishop McNearny of Albany, New York, with Father Joseph Pickle, pastor. For this, too, there was a band escort. On May 27, 1881, St. Mary's first church burned to the ground. The people began work immediately clearing the debris and donating money for a new church under Rev. J. Resch.
She returned to public school until sixteen, helped with the housework and on the farm. She was very clever with needle and crochet hook even at 11 years of age. At 19 she went to Syracuse and stayed with her sister, Mrs. George (Julia) Zink, and took a six months course in dressmaking. The head of the shop offered her $1.50 per week to stay on as an apprentice but she refused and returned home where she sewed for herself and her sister, Augusta. One day a friend, Dolly Fisher, wanted Anna to make her a dress; this she did with good luck. From then on she went out sewing by the day, staying one to three weeks spring and fall sewing for customers as far away as Baldwinsville. She sewed for the public for 45 years with wedding gowns her specialty, one of which was made for Gov. Alfred E. Smith's daughter. She also did fancy needlework and painting of pictures. Anna made most of Virginia and Camilla Sutter's lovely dresses. Julia, Anna and Gustie were very fond of Frank Sutter's children and visited their home. Likewise, the Sutter girls spent vacations with Anna and particularly Aunt Julia in her lovely home at 706 N. McBride Street, Syracuse, New York. Her children, Bob and Connie, always gave them a good time.
In St. Matthews Catholic Church, E. Syracuse, New York, at 4:00 P.M., Anna married Matthew J. Sullivan of So. Cambridge, New York, October 29, 1902 in the presence of Fr. Bernard, Franciscan and Fr. McLaughlin, pastor. Her sister, Augusta S. Osborne, played the wedding march. A reception was held at her parents' home. After a short honeymoon trip to Saratoga, Cambridge and other places, they returned to her home. There, Matthew was working contract jobs for a New York City construction firm. He had started with this firm as a boy of 16 and worked up to assistant superintendent of Public Works. At the time of their marriage he was working at Dresen, New York. Shortly, they moved to Dundee where they spent nearly a year until the railroad was finished.
In 1903 the construction company resumed its work in Plattsburgh and made the Railroad standard guage 95 miles to Lake Placid. So, April 1st Anna packed her trunk and went to Plattsburgh then to Cadyville and for a time lived at the Franklin Hotel in Saranac, then in Lake Placid until the Railroad was finished some time in August. The station was at Newcomb, New York, and they boarded at the priest's house. Anna took many enjoyable walks in Placid and Newcomb which was 1/2 mile from Captain John Brown's home and grave. She took pictures of the house, grave and inscription on the stone.
She returned home to help her mother and when the job was finished September 1st, they were going to North Carolina for the winter. Her mother protested and so Matt took a short job in Dollsville, New York, until Christmas. In the spring of 1905, Matt went to St. Johnsville, New York on a Railroad job and she joined him for two weeks. The last week of April, G. Irving Sutter contracted scarlet fever and in four days was buried, May 2, 1905. She came down with it the next day and was very sick; also her father, then 83, and her brother, Frank, who lived in Syracuse. It was a very sad home under quarantine for two months. Matt was called home and stayed a year to help on the farm. In March 1906, his company sent for him as they had contracted to build the Barge Canal between-Glens Falls, Ft. Edward and Ft. Miller. In April they went to live in the hotel at Ft. Miller.
In 1907, the couple went housekeeping in Ilian, New York, but because of Mattes poor health, they returned to Minoa in 1908. In 1909 they went to live in Syracuse where he worked as a motorman on a street car for ten years. He was President of the Street Rail Union for three years.
In 1917, the Sullivans returned to Minoa, New York, and bought the homestead with a brother, Theodore S. Sutter. Matthew died on March 12, 1944. Anna remained with Ted and cared for him until he died suddenly from a heart attack on August 4, 1956. She remodeled the house and lived there until her death on April 7, 1960, at the approximate age of 90 years.

HENRY GERARD SUTTER
Henry Gerard (Jim) Sutter was born in Chittenango, New York on December 9, 1903. I do not recall much of his early life, as he was 3 1/2 years older than I. He moved with the family to Fayetteville, Groton and then back to Fayetteville, New York. He attended school there, including three years of high school in reminiscing, he was indeed mischevious. When Mama passed away February 16, 1917, she had previously appointed Aunt Alice to be guardian. Jim was 12 1/2 years old and full of it. When he was older and should have known better, he told Aunt Alice that Laura Miller's (a single woman who lived next door) cesspool had spilled over into our yard. It was not true but this was one of many stories he told her and she would get uptight. He undoubtedly was an unusual teenager but a great tease. We have to remember that Aunt Alice was single, 60 years old, the oldest of seven children, and, had retired from Albion, New York having been Superintendent of mentally retarded women. She came to Fayetteville from Albion in the face of 1916 to see my mother, who was ill and, to make plans for her own future, which she hoped to spend in Rochester, New York as she was a devoted alumnae of the Academy of the Sacred Heart from which she had graduated. She had been its president at least twice. Dad had a different design for her for when Mama died, she became guardian and she being a religious woman accepted the responsibility as Dad's will. She was not used to young children, let alone teenagers.
In the front yard, there were two large Seringa bushes and they had a sweet odor. On a warm evening, Jim and I would crawl into the bushes and scare people as they passed by. I would listen to his stories and think that they were true. He was always a racketeer and would tell fantastic stories and I believed him. AS a boy, and a young man, I remember him with a dry sense of humor and he'd laugh, until he shook all over, at his own stories.
In 1921, Aunt Alice arranged for him to enter Notre Dame for his fourth year of high school. Therefore, he was five years there and graduated in June 1926. He obtained a position with the Newark Ledger as he was interested in journalism. Jim was very bright and a great reader all his life.
He moved to Rochester in 1922, when I was a sophmore in high school and we went home for weekends. Prior to this, Gina and I had been at the Sacred Heart, I having started in the seventh grade. I boarded from the fall of 1918 - 1922 when Aunt Alice bought a home at 105 Flouerton Street but of her own estate. It was her great desire that we would have enough money to have quality education. We shall always be grateful for her unselfishness, as I still had money of my own when I got married.
Jim used to visit on vacations from Notre Dame. I cannot remember that he ever worked during the summer. He went out for athletics but his physical indicated that he had a heart murmur, so he never participated in sports although he liked them. Aunt Alice thought that he was going to become a priest. Most of his vacations were spent lying on the floor reading philosophy. I often wonder how he got away without working, when I had to do homework. I believe Aunt Alice favored him and he was very good to her. He used to send her a book on her birthday and at Christmas and she was happy that he remembered her.
When I was at Manhattanville, he worked in Newark and he would visit on a Sunday and take me out for the day and later on he'd invite Jane Lynn, my roommate. Many a Sunday afternoon we'd spend in Greenwich Village and Jim would have his beer. He and Francis were proud of their German-Irish heritage. I leaned more on the Irish side having been associated in my teen and later years with my Curtin relatives. I was always proud to go out with my brothers as they were handsome young men and good to me.
Jim eventually left the Newark Ledger and went to work for the Elizabeth Journal. He married my close friend, Jane, I believe in 1936 at Holy Innocence Church, New York City. At the time, I lived in the Bronx and knew nothing about their plans and subsequent marriage until I got a telegram from them. James Francis was born April 5, 1937. Jane had a difficult delivery and never had another child. Jane and Jim lived in Cranford, New Jersey, having bought a home there and I visited them a few times. I was extremely busy in those days, having given birth to the twins, Gerry and Frank, David and Camilla, Ann and Kevin.
He moved from the Bronx to Flushing, New Jersey in 1938. At that time, I had the twins and David and we needed more room. When Camilla Ann was born August 27, 1940, I asked Jim and Jane to be godparents and I was happy when they accepted. I thought that we would see more of them but Jane died in 1944 or 1945 when Jimmy was approximately 8 or 9 years old. Jane had gone to Rochester to visit her friend Marie Shale and placed Jimmy in a camp. She entered a hospital for a long overdue repair job. Following this, the doctor advised that she needed a hysterectomy and, after a week, she was operated on and died on the table before Jim could get to Rochester. She had not informed him of the above plan, as I believe she thought a repair job would be a simple thing and did not realize that there might be complications. It was her decision, I understood that she'd tell Tim when it was all over. I do not know why she did not contact him or have Marie call him during the week prior to the hysterectomy. It was tragic for Jim, as well as for the rest of the family.
During this period, Jim covered Cranford and Garwood as a news reporter. After Jane's death, he placed Jimmy in a private school until he graduated and then he entered Notre Dame. Jimmy came home weekends to be with his father, when at Private School. Many times, I invited Jim and Jimmy out to Flushing and they seemed to enjoy themselves and Jimmy liked playing with the boys. Jim would accept for Jimmy's birthday, Thanksgiving, but he'd never come for Christmas as Jim wanted to be home. I felt so sorry for Jimmy as I knew he'd have more fun with the boys. It was difficult- for me because I felt that Jimmy must have been so lonesome but I respected Jim's decision.
Jim had been requested to take an inside job, specifically, the City Editor's desk. However, he liked working at night, collecting news and doing some editorial work on the side so the office left him alone. Finally, when he was in his 50's, he did accept an inside job but it was too late as the pressures were great and too much for him. He retired at 60 and lived alone in an apartment hotel in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
I know that he was very proud of Jimmy and happy that he had found a wonderful wife and God blessed them with four children. It was so unfortunate that he did not live to see them all born and develop through the years. He would have been so proud of his grandchildren. It was sad that he did not enjoy much retirement for he passed away of a heart attack on November 13, 1966. At his request, he was buried in Fayetteville, New York.
In summary, I'd say that Jim was a kind, considerate brother and a very generous one. While at Manhattanville, he'd always ask if I needed money. As I never seemed to have enough, he'd often give me some. At that time, he had no responsibilities but himself.
He was devoted to Aunt Alice and loved his family and I would say that he was a good husband and father.
I have many happy memories of Jim and loved to discuss current events with him; also music and the arts. He was so well read, he could discuss any subject. Jim arrived at college or at my home with Time Magazine in his pocket and he gave it to me as a Christmas present for at least 30 years.
Jim was a thinker, reserved and a conscientious worker. I know that ha loved Jane as he courted her for many years but I never thought he was a demonstrative person but he had deep feelings.
It was a sad day for me when he died in November 1966 for I had lost Virginia in May 1966. This was the same year that Kevin graduated from Le Magne in June 1966. It was a sad and a happy year for me but mainly sad.
May the Lord rest his sole and Pm sure that he is at peace. As stated previously, it was a shame that he did not live to see his four beautiful grandchildren grow to maturity. A recent picture (Christmas 1976) indicates that they have matured beautifully. If he were alive he'd be proud of this fine family. Lynne works at a Travel Bureau, in addition to taking care of her family and home. This, currently, is in New Canaan, Ct.
