Jeremiah Daniel Sullivan was born in County Kerry, Ireland,, on the 17th day of April, 1820. He was a studious youth so that at the age of 14 be attracted the attention of the Tract and Bible Societies of those times, and was employed by them to do missionary work among the illiterate Irish people of the district, he being a "Gaelic Scholar" or one who was able to read the Bible in English, and translated the same in the Irish language. On account of the bitter feelings of the Irish Catholics of those times he suffered much persecution at their hands. On the 23d day of February, 1853, he was united in marriage to Sarah G. Orpen. He emigrated to the United States of America with his family, a wife and child, ariving here on the 6th day of July, 1853.

HENRY SUNDERMAN KILLED
Crushed Beneath a Steam Thresher; and Scalded to Death
Henry Sunderman, one of Page county's best known and respected German farmers, living six miles northwest of Clarinda, met a horrible death Wednesday afternoon.
Mr. Sunderman has been running a steam thresher this summer, and was moving his outfit. With him were his assistants, Will Boo, Will Jansen and Jesse Kinney. Sunderman and Boo were on the engine, Jansen on the tank and Kinney on the separator. Coming to a little bridge about 200 yards south of Herman Otte's, ten miles northwest of Clarinda, young Boo got off the engine and went forward to examine the bridge. It looked sound and strong and he beckoned Sunderman to come ahead. The usual precaution of laying plank across the bridge was neglected, and when the heavy steamer got fairly on the bridge, which was only about eight feet across, it gave way, letting the engine drop back and down into the gulley, a distance of perhaps ten feet. The tank and separator did not go down. Mr. Sunderman was caught under the engine, which in falling broke open, letting out the steam and boiling water. When the steam had disappeared so they could see, the frightened boys ran to Mr. Sunderman's assistance and dragged him from under the wreck. He was taken to Mr. Otte's house and medical assistance summoned. In response to the calls, Drs. Killingsworth and Sellards, of Clarinda, and Dr. Parriott, of Yorktown, hurried to the scene, but Mr. Sunderman was past human aid.
Both legs were broken; both bones of the right leg being broken midway between ankle and knee, and the left femur about six inches below the hip. His body was literally cooked by the escaping steam, so that the flesh would come off. The skin was all off the legs to the body, off the back to the shoulders, and on the left side where presumably the hot boiler had rested, the flesh was deeply charred dry as dust. The skin on his fingers had been peeled back like a glove by his attempts to extricate himself. His lips and tongue, also his lungs, were scalded from inhaling steam. He suffered terrible agony at first, but by the time Dr. Killingsworth, who was the first physician to reach him, arrived the pain seemed to have left him. His clothes had to be cut from him, and he was given every possible attention, but he died about five o'clock. The accident occurred between one and two in the afternoon. He was conscious to the last, but made but little outcry, asking only for water a few times and to be turned in the bed. When first removed to the house he asked that his clothing be removed and then asked, "Where's the cotton?"
The funeral services were held this morning in the German church and were conducted by Rev. Jobst.
Henry Sunderman was born in Jackson county, Indiana, fifty-five years ago. When a young man of twenty-five he came to Page county, and has lived here ever since. In 1874 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Steeve, who survives him. Of this union ten children were born, of whom seven are living—Philip, the oldest, being twenty-three, and Frank, the youngest, eighteen months. The others are Albert, Jacob, Elizabeth, Rosetta and Rosa. Mr. Sunderman has three brothers—John, Herman and Louis —living in Page county, and one ---- August—living in Texas.
The family is left in good circumstances, he having a farm of 140 acres fairly well stocked, and not encumbered. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 6, 1901

Henry Sunderman.for years a farmer living northwest of the city, met a horrible death yesterday. He had been running a steam thresher for some time this summer, as he had done for years past, and while moving the machine to another farm yesterday soon after noon, the engine broke through a short bridge south of Harmon Otte's into a ditch about eight feet deep and Mr. Sunderman went down with it, being pinioned ander a portion of the ponderous machine, when one of his limbs was broken near the thigh and the other below the knee, while escaping steam scalded his arms and body in a horrible manner. Parties with him extricated the suffering man as soon as possible and two physicians called by telephone, but despite all efforts he died about five o'clock in the evening. Mr. Sunderman was about 55 years of age, and had lived in this county about twenty-five years, coming here from near Seymour, Ind., and was an industrious aud hard working man. He was a natural machinist, having followed the business several years in Indiana, and it was his great delight to run a steam thresher, as he had done here for many years after the close of the farming season. He was an honorable and upright man in all his dealings and highly respected. He leaves a wife aud several children, together with a host of admiring friends to mourn his untimely and tragic death. The funeral takes place tomorrow at 10 o'clock from the German church, conducted by Rev. Jobst. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 5, 1901

He came to this county first in 1856 from Jackson county, Indiana, where he was born about seventy-two years ago.

Mr. Saunderman was greatly impressed with the richness of the soil in this locality and decided that it was a good place to make his home. He was very poor and for many years had a hard struggle but kept buying land until at the time of his death he owned 1400 acres of Page County's matchless soil. He leaves a family consisting of a wife, formerly Miss Sophia Fosbrink, and six children as follows: two sons, John K. and Henry, four daughters, all married; Mrs. Catherine Williams, Mrs. Hanna Andebuckle, who lives in Indiana, Mrs. Roseni Mascher and Mrs. Elvina Roberts, the latter of whom lives on the home farm with the parents.

Gerald William, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Sutherland, died April 2, 1901, aged 11 months, 6 days. Very fair and bright and beautiful, the source of joy, the fount of domestic pleasure, the pride of the dear little sister, the light of the home,—he was better fitted for the heavenly home than for the earthly. The services were simple, but tender, and loving hands bore the still form to the quiet bed and laid it to rest with flowers. "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." "He is not dead, the child of our affection,
"But gone into that school, "Where he no longer needs our poor protection,
"And Christ himself doth rule. "Day after day we'll think what he is doing
"In those bright realms of air:
"Year after year, his steady steps pursuing,
"Behold him grown more fair."

Sutherland, Margaret Jane Johnson

Mrs. Margaret J. Sutherland.
The funeral of Mrs. Margaret Jane Sutherland, widow of Donald Sutherland, was held in Clarinda last Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Sutherland died at Galesburg, Ill., and had not lived in Clarinda for nearly fourteen years, but not that time nor any length of time within the lives of many who knew her here could cause them to forget her splendid Christian character and her helpful influence in the community in which she resided. As a neighbor she was possessed of the true neighborly spirit, and many were the modest kindnesses which she did for those about her, both in the times of their happiness and their sorrow. She, now, has passed to her eternal reward. While relatives and friends will miss her good nature and her good ways, and heartfelt sympathy is felt for those nearest her, now bereft, all who knew her, or of her, must feel that her final reward must be of the brightest and happiest character.
Mrs. Sutherland's maiden name was Johnson. She was born Aug. 26, 1841, at West Middlesex, Pa., the daughter of Samuel and Henrietta (Bell) Johnson. The family moved to Jones county, Iowa, and there, July, 17, 1862, she was married to Donald Sutherland. Mr. Sutherland responded shortly after his marriage to the needs of the Union and entered the Civil war in defense of his country. While he was in the war a child was born to himself and wife, Donald Grant Sutherland, who survives. A daughter, Ida May Sutherland, also was born in Jones county, and died July 23, 1880, in Page county, Iowa. The Sutherland family came to Page county forty-five years ago, and located on a farm in East River township. Later the Sutherlands moved to a farm of forty acres most of which is in the southern limits of the city of Clarinda, now, and which at this time is covered with houses thickly placed on city lots, but where D. G. Sutherland recalls that at one time he plowed it as the farm. The place was obtained in an early day by the late Mrs. Sutherland's parents and it eventually became the home of the Sutherland family. The husband and father, Donald Sutherland, died in Clarinda, Jan. 16, 1897. The late Mrs. Sutherland after her husband's death made her home with her son, D. G. Sutherland, and family. She was with them at Seattle, Wash., and afterward at Galesburg, Ill. The last few years of her life she was an invalid. Five years ago, in Seattle, she was stricken with paralysis, and was in bed from it for six months. At that time it was not thought she could live. In Galesburg, Ill., the latter part of June, this year, she fell and broke her left hip, her left side already paralyzed. This fall took place just as her son and family were packing their household goods to move to a farm near Elmwood, Ill. The afflicted woman then was taken to Saint Mary's hospital in Galesburg, where she remained until her death, at 3:10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10, 1920, which followed a final stroke of paralysis which came upon her the Sunday before she died. While she was at the hospital her daughter-in-law, Mrs. D. G. Sutherland, was with her much of the time, as well as her regular nurse who was always at her call. Mrs. Sutherland was from early life a Presbyterian. She first joined the Presbytrian church at Scotch Grove, Iowa; then the First Presbyterian church of Clarinda; then the First   Presbyterian   church of Seattle, and finally the First Presbyterian church   of   Galesburg.    While her health and strength permitted she was one of the most active of church workers, and certainly her heart was in her work.   The. remains of Mrs. Sutherland arrived in   Clarinda   last Saturday night, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Sutherland.   The remains were taken to the Oates undertaking parlors where they remained until time for the funeral, which was held at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, in the First Presbyterian church of Clarinda, conducted by Rev. A. B. Marshall, the pastor, who conducted a very beautiful and impressive service, in which he paid high tribute to the character of the deceased, from the very general praise he had heard of her from those who knew her, he never having met her, but he did not say a word too much in her behalf.   The singers were Miss Carrie Loranz, Mrs. R. D. Russell, Mrs. Emma Humphrey,   Mrs. Sabina Kelley, Miss   Irma   Pratt   and Miss Helen Standage.    Two hymns were sung:   "My Jesus as Thou Wilt," and "Jesus, Lover of My Soul."  The pallbearers were six elders of the Presbyterian church, as follows: Prof. J. A. Woods, Dr. J. P. Brown, G. Wm. Richardson, J. Christensen, S. E. Sperry and J. E. Sawhill.  There were many beautiful flowers.   Interment was in the Clarinda city cemetery, beside the graves of husband and daughter who went before.
The attendance of people at the funeral who had known Mrs. Sutherland here in her lifetime and who had appreciated her true womanly character was marked. From out of town for the funeral besides Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Sutherland of Elmwood, Ill., were Mr. and Mrs. L. N. Cleveland of Des Moines and Mrs. W. H. Beattie of St. Joseph, Mo. Mrs. O. M. Cook, a niece of the deceased, with members of her family, also was among those present.
The late Mrs. Margaret J. Sutherland was one of a family of nine children— a family noted for intellectuality and charm of manner—only two of whom are now living. These two are J. B. Johnson of Los Angeles, Calif., brother, who visited Mrs. Sutherland in Galesburg after her fall, and Mrs. Eva Blount of Anthony, Kans., a sister. Those of the brothers and sisters who have died, are one son, who passed away in infancy; C. S. Johnson, a federal judge in Alaska; Mrs. Josephine Perrine, who died at Spokane, Wash.; Mrs. Ollie I. Royce, who died at Topeka, Kans.; Horace Johnson, who was killed in a railroad accident while at his regular occupation as a locomotive engineer running out of Wadsworth, Nev., and Mrs. W. I. Black, who died in Clarinda. Mrs. Black was the mother of Mrs. O. M. Cook and of Rev. Samuel Charles Black, the latter being president of Washington Jefferson college. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Sep 16, 1920

Another of our former Clarinda residents has been brought to the old home town for burial, Mrs. Margaret J. Sutherland, whose funeral was held Sunday afternoon, from the Presbyterian Church, the funeral being conducted by the pastor, Rev. A. B. Marshall D. D.   Elders   of the church acted as pallbearers.   It was fitting that the form of Mrs. Sutherland should be taken to the "silent city" north of town by members of the church in which she had taken such an active part during the years she was a resident of Clarinda.
Margaret Johnson was born in W. Middlesex, Mercer County, Pa., Aug. 26th, 1841, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C. Johnson. The family moved to Scotch Grove, Jones
County, Iowa, where on July 17th, I 1862 she was married to Donald Sutherland. The Civil War soon afterward called Mr. Sutherland to active service, and he was on his march with "Sherman to the sea'' when the first child came to bless the household. Returning from the service of his country, the family moved to Clarinda, Iowa, coming here forty five years ago. Both Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland were active members of the Clarinda Presbyterian church in Jones County, the husband being one of the officers of the church there, and they remained active in church work when coming to Clarinda, Mrs. Sutherland being an especial worker with young people and in the Sunday School.
Going west in 1905, Mrs. Sutherland for thirteen years made her home there, coming to Galesburg, Ill., in 1918, where she has been residing with her son Donald. She passed away Sept 10th, 1920, in St. Mary's Hospital in Galesburg, where for six months past she has been, owing to a fall sustaind while starting to get into an automobile, when she fell and fractured her hip. The Donald Sutherland family were moving to a farm near Elmwood, Ill., and she was just getting into the car to go to the new home when the accident occured. At Seattle several years ago she was taken with a stroke of apoplexy, and it was from this cause that she finally passed away, having had several strokes since the first one.
One son is living, her son Donald, who for a time was a practicing attorney in Clarinda, for six years our county attorney, now resident in Elmwood, Ill., where he is engaged in stock farming. One daughter was laid away in 1880 in Clarinda cemetery, to be followed by the remains of the father, and finally Mrs. Sutherland herself being called by the grim reaper to answer the last summons.
One sister is living, Mrs. Eva Blout, of Anthony Kans., who was prevented by illness in the family from attending the funeral, and one brother, J. B. Johnson of Los Angeles, Calif., who had visited his sister during the past summer. There were nine children in the original Johnson family. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 16, 1920
