John Edgar Suttle's Document
This is a transcription of a document originally hand written by John Edgar Suttle, my great uncle and son of my great grandfather Marcus Suttle. John Edgar's son Harold, gave it to me Wednesday July 26th, 2000. The document consists of two pages of three hole punched notebook paper written in longhand using what appears to be a purple felt tip pen. I have corrected some spelling, but not grammar.
