FEAR FRED. SUTTON SANK
WITH TITANIC
Thursday 18 April 1912
Name of Haddonfield Resident Does Not
Appear on List of Survivors
---
BUDGET OF GOSSIP FROM THE BOROUGH
---
The offices of Sutton & Vansant, No. 120 South Front street,
Philadelphia, are busy in an endeavor to obtain some news in
regard to Frederick Sutton, head of the firm of coffee
importers who it is feared, is one of the victims of the
disaster. Mr. Sutton was prominent in fraternal circles and
was a member of the Union League, where he stayed in the
winter, although he has a home in Haddonfield. Nothing was
learned at the Union League to-day in regard to his safety.
He went abroad about a month ago on the advice of his
physician.

Titanic, and has been omitted.]
