Death of Fred S. Sutherland, the Steeplejack: 1947
[Article not accessed; Google search produced jumbled OCR text on Newspapers.com]:
Article: Fred S. Sutherland, the steeplejack, died in California after being attacked by a dog while visiting friends. [Source 1]: Steuben Republican, Angola, Indiana, Wednesday, 17 September 1947, Page 16. [Page not certain; this is the gist of details from some scrambled OCR text, but it might be helpful in locating the article. If anyone has access and can send me a clipping, please comment on this post.]
Note: Various articles on Fred Sutherland appeared in the Steuben Republican, because Sutherland's first wife, Lulu Ogden, was from there. Her people lived in Hamilton, Steuben County, Indiana, around 1900 or so. They later lived in Michigan. After Lulu married Sutherland, the couple moved to Sutherland's home state of California.
