Fannie Rolfson was born in Germany, on July 1, 1855 and came to America with her father when eight years of age, her mother having died some time previous. She lived in Parkersburg until the age of 20 years when she was united in marriage to John P. Suttman.

They moved to Grundy Center and this place has since been her home. Mr. Suttman died on June 8, 1900. To this union seven children were born, five sons and two daughters. They are Fred of San Francisco, John G. of Herman, Minn., Theo of Oklahoma City and Paul, Ralph and Mrs. Emery Davis of this place. One daughter, Lillian, passed away July 23, 1908.

Mrs. Suttman was taken ill with heart trouble and dropsy on Dec. 31st while visiting at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Davis, and after an illness of nearly six weeks passed away on Feb. 8, at 8:30 p.m.

The funeral service was held from the Davis home on Monday afternoon, Rev. J. C. Curry officiating, and burial was made in the Beckman cemetery west of town.
