WILLIAM A BEITH RICHMOND SUTOR Among the progressive and enterprising agriculturists of Campton township is numbered William a. BEITH, who was born in Campton, this county, Sept 1, 1878, and is the son of George A. and Lucinda RICHMON BEITH, of whom extended mention is made in the sketch of Robert E. BEITH on another page in this volume. Upon the home farm our subject grew to manhood and he attended the Stewart district school until fifteen years of age. For three years he was a student in the Elburn high school, from which he was graduated and then entered Wheaton College, where he pursued a classical course, and was graduated from that institution in 1903, recieving the degree of A.B. Sickness in the family of his brother then forced him to return home, and he has since devoted his time and energies to agricultural pursuits. He resides in a very beautiful country home, surrounded by fine shade trees and there is splendid spring upon the place, which affords water the year round for his herds of stock. The farm is conveniently located 3 miles north east of Elburn and is part of the magnificent 500 acre estate belonging to his father. He is interested in dairying and keeps thirty cows for that purpose. In 1905 Mr BEITH was united in marriage to Miss Grace A SUTOR, who was born in Chicago and recieved her education in the public schools of that city. Her father, John F. SUTOR, now resides in Clyde, Ill., and is engaged in the real estate business. Mr. BEITH is a man of sudious habits and is a great reader, being thoroughly familiar with the best literature. In politics, he is a stanch prohibitionist, and as a public spirited and progressive citizen, he gives his support to every enterprise which he believes will advance the intellectual, moral and social welfare of the community in which he resides.
