The funeral of the late A. A. Sutton, who passed away in the state of Washington this week, and whose body reached Clinton Thursday evening was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of his mother, Mrs. Frank Sutton, on Sixth avenue.

Surviving him are his wife, Mrs. Alice N. Sutton, one son, Leon G. Sutton, a grandson, his mother, Mrs. Mary Sutton, of this city and three brothers, Clyde R., Clarence and Attorney L. F.
