About Sam Sutton
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.
