The Tumut and Adelong Times 11 Aug 1936
OBITUARY MRS. JOTT S. SUTTON The death of one of the native born of the district, Mrs. Helen Sutton, wife of Mr. Jott Sutton, Fitzroy-st., Tumut, occurred in the Tumut District Hospital on Friday morning last. She was taken ill on the previous Friday and on the following Thursday entered hospital for treatment for heart trouble. All that was possible was done for her to restore the failing heart, but without avail. Deceased was the fourth daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Withers, her father being a well-known grazier of "Frankfield," Tarrabandra. In 1890 she was married to Mr. J. S. Sutton, of Tumut, and they resided here ever since with the exception of a short period when they went to Sydney and launched in a business venture, only to return later, Mr. Sutton taking up his old position with the Shire Council. Deceased commanded the respect and affection of all who knew her. To the union was born only one child, Hazel, the late Mrs. E. J. Johnson, who predeceased her some years since. Besides the sorrowing husband there are four sisters (Mrs. Jones, Mrs. T. Lindley and Mrs. C. J. Nicholls of Gundagai and Mrs. T. Dunn of Temora), and four brothers (Walter of Canberra, Frank of Queensland, Albert of Gloucester and Arthur of Forbes) to mourn their loss. Mr. Len. Withers, Tumut Railway Station, is a nephew. The funeral took place on Saturday, the remains being interred in the C. of E. portion of the New Cemetery, Rev. S. Broadfoot officiating at the graveside and Mr. C. W. Burt carrying out the mortuary arrangements.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
