Springs Valley Herald (October 20, 1927) Obituary
Jesse Louis Sutton, son of William and Mahala Nowry Sutton, was born in Henry County, Kentucky, November 14th, 1856 and died at his hone in French Lick, Indiana, October 10th, 1927, aged 70 years, 10 months and 26 days. His parents were pioneers in his native state and he was reared in the school of necessity amid circumstances that would now be called hardships. He was married to Honora Robbins October 20th, 1881. four children were born to this union, one of which died in infancy. The three surviving are Ben and Olive of French Lick and Mrs. Beulah Browning of Louisville, Kentucky.
In December 1884 he moved with his family to Indiana, and located near French Lick and began farming and stock raising which occupation he continued during the remainder of his life. Some years ago he moved to French Lick and has since resided there.
He was a man of frugal habits and naturally industrious. For many years after moving to this state he became acquainted with hardships of rural life which characterized this community, forty years and more ago. When a young man he united with the Methodist Church and later transferred his membership to the Christian Church near his own home. He was always interested in civic affairs and served one term as assessor of Orange County and at the time of his death was a member of the Board of Trustees of French Lick.
On July 7th, 1923 he was again married to Miss Attia Baggerly of Paoli, Indiana, who survives him, and who ministered to him with all possible tenderness during his long illness.
For some years his health had been failing, but was quite active until October 28th, 1926 when he was seized with a serious illness which kept him confined to his bed for many months and to his home for almost a year. In recent months he seemed to be regaining his strength, at least partially, and had been able to assume his official duties again and make occasional trips to the farm.
About two weeks ago when it seemed that he might soon be able to walk again without the aid of crutches he was attacked with what proved to be a fatal illness. During these last days he suffered intensely and realized that he would not get well and said of times to his wife and children that he was willing and ready to go.
Although his body was racked with pain he frequently sang the songs that were dear to his father and mother and which today are being sung at his funeral according to his request.
With the passing of this life from earth, a familiar figure will be missed from our ranks. Naturally of a social and cheerful disposition, he was friendly to all he met and his going will leave a vacant place that will be felt by many.
Besides his wife and children, he leaves to mourn his loss five grandchildren, one great grandchild, one brother, Robert Sutton of Howard, Kansas and one sister, Mrs. Addie Gromer of French LIck, with many other relatives and friends.

Mrs. Cavanaugh is survived by her husband, T. F. Cavanaugh; four children, Francis, Clyde, Calvin and Jessie; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Lightner; two brothers, Jesse K. and Craig Lightner, and one sister, Mrs. Will McKeighn of Lawrenceville, Illinois.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church yesterday afternoon at 1:30 and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Morin.

Springs Valley Herald (January 12, 1928) Obituary
Myrtle Ethel, daughter of M. W. and Katherine Lightner, was born November 4, 1889 in Jackson Township, Orange County, Indiana; within hailing distance of the place from which she departed this life January 9, 1928. She was the third child in a family of six children, two of whom have already gone to their reward, Guy Oliver, January 31, 1905, and Olive Leah Cox, January 17, 1926. In 1905, under the guidance of Brother John M. Walker, she gave her heart to Jesus and became of a member of this church.
On January 6, 1908, at the age of 18 she was married to Timothy Frances Cavanaugh. This union was blest with four children, Francis, 18, Jesse Leah, 16, Richard, 10, and Timothy Calvin, 7, all living and mourning their irretrievable loss. Almost all of her married life she spent away from this community.
Myrtle never enjoyed real good health; two years ago last October while living near Sarles, N. D. she was stricken with Infantile Paralysis, from which she never recovered, remaining helpless until death released her. Although racked by pain and knowing her condition was hopeless she always greeted her friends with a merry "Hello" and a loving smile. To know Myrtle was to love her; her friends were numbered by her acquaintances. The picture of the last two years shows her in her affliction surrounded by loved ones, friends of her childhood, and friends made since her home coming; nothing that these loved ones and friends could do was left undone.
God knows how faithfully and lovingly her children have cared for her while the heart broken husband and father was compelled to be absent, almost continually in another state, they realized mother's condition, despite her cheerful assurances, even little 10 year old Clyde would run home from school at recess to see if mother did not need something. Indeed this was a home of love. Living close neighbors are her sister Olive's two little boys; she tried so hard to be a mother to them, that next to their own Angel mother they must have held Aunt Myrtle.
when a life has been so beautifully inscribed in the hearts of its friends, an attempt to describe it, such as this, is but an empty shell.

She was a woman of fine Christian character and was loved by all who knew her. During the twenty years she has lived in this community, her life has been an open book and her home a center of Christian influence, good cheer and hospitality. It was here that she served with highest devotion, the church and Sunday School, as teacher and president of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society.
It can be truly said of her that no one could leave a higher example of faithfulness and devotion to their church and neighbors. The work of the kingdom ever came first in her affections.
Though her suffering during her last illness was most intense she endured it with patience and never murmured or complained, but confided in the Lord whom she loved and served, often asking for his help and support. Even when the end was near she called her children to her bedside and breathed a prayer that will be a benediction to them.
