General Notes: Husband - Thomas H. Sutherland

---

He was educated in the public schools of East and West Finley Township, in those of the borough of Claysville and in the Southwestern State Normal School at California, Pennsylvania. For some ten years subsequent Mr. Sutherland was engaged in teaching school, in which occupation he achieved a distinct success, being well fitted, for the work both naturally and by training. He was teacher for a while in the advanced room of the Claysville high school, spent two terms as principal of the Houston schools and was the first principal of the South Canonsburg public school. The proffer of a lucrative government position took him to Washington, D. C., where he was occupied until 1902, when he came to Washington, Pennsylvania, and entered into a general real estate and fire insurance business. He handled city and suburban residence property, besides farming lands and also represented a number of the leading fire insurance companies.
In 1884, Mr. Sutherland became a member of the United Presbyterian Church and he was active in church and Sunday school work. He was never very actively interested in politics.
