ABSTRACT

George Sutton came from London as a boy and studied medicine in America to become a prominent medical doctor. After he had spent several years at Miami University, George Sutton began the study of medicine in Cincinnati, under the instruction of Prof. John Eberle, and afterwards under that of Prof. S. D. Gross, a distinguished authority on medicine. In 1877 he was chosen president of the board of trustees of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Indiana, and served in that capacity for several years, delivering the annual address to the graduating classes. As president of the Rocky Mountain Medical Association he delivered a masterly address before that body at its meeting in New Orleans on May 6, 1885. Although engaged in active practice in the different branches of his profession, he devoted a portion of his time to geology, meteorology and archaeology, directing his special attention to the antiquities of the neighborhood.
