Title	Unidentified Sutton Photograph
Description	From the Lewis Wells Sutton Collection. Lewis Wells Sutton (1839-1914) was born in Ohio, and later moved to Iowa. In 1861, at 21 years of age, he enlisted as a private with Company I, 4th Iowa Infantry Regiment. He was taken prisoner of war at the battle of Shilo, but was later released. He was promoted to Full Sergeant Major in 1863, and mustered out in 1864. Two younger brothers also enlisted, Jacob (1844-1862) died during the conflict, while Roland (1844-?) survived and eventually moved to Portland, Oregon. Sutton's meticulous journals and letters to his sister, Susannah, paint a vivid picture of a Union soldiers life on the Civil War's western frontier. In 1868, Lewis Sutton married Jemema Alice Thomas (1848-1923) in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. They had two sons, Freeman (1870-1950) and Paul (1874-1923), before moving to Clark County, Washington.
