Sam Sutton was an early settler with his family on the lake.  Sam had two sisters: Maude and Bessie.  In 1907 he married Anna Thom.  They homesteaded Sutton's Bay on Newman Lake operating a boat from Day's Landing to summer homes on the lake.  He also worked in a sawmill and ran his own resort where he died of tuberculosis in 1941.  The family had no children.
