From The Farmers Exchange, Bayard, NE, April 8, 1920, page 9, transcribed by Linda Berney:

Nevada Thomas was born at Greenupsburg, Ky., November 19, 1877 and died April 4, 1920 at Bayard, Nebr., aged 43 years, 4 months and 16 days. When yet a small girl her parents moved to Missouri and later to Kansas City, Kans., where they lived for several years. While in her teens they moved to Oklahoma where she met Henry S. Sutton whom she married October 18, 1895 at Newkirk, Ok. In May 1910 she, with her husband and family, came to Nebraska from Iola, Kans, and lived on a farm near Alliance. The next year they filed on a homestead near there where they lived for five years. In 1916 Mr. Sutton purchased the Clarence Yoey homestead six miles north of Bayard and the family have been residents of the Wild Horse vicinity ever since.

Mrs. Sutton was the mother of thirteen children, ten of whom are living. One little girl, Anna, died in 1909 and is resting in the cemetery at Iola, Kas., and two infants are sleeping the Evergreen cemetery near Alliance where the mother was laid to rest April 7, 1920.

The surviving children are Mrs. Emaline Baker, Mrs. Inis Coker, Jason, Jesse, George, Ethel, Clarence, Neal, Edna and Louis, Bayard. Besides her sorrowing husband, children and six grandchildren, she is survived by her aged father, one brother and sisters.

Mrs. Sutton had not been well for ten years but she was always kind and loving to her family and ever ready to join them in their joys and sorrows. As a friend and neighbor she was always ready to lend a helping hand and she will be greatly missed by those of the community. She was a member of the Wild Horse Woman’s Club and was held in high esteem by all.

Her death came very suddenly due to heart failure and was a great shock to the whole neighborhood. On March 25 she underwent an operation of a very serious character and was seemingly improving rapidly when the change came and she passed away within an hour.
