R.M.S. Titanic /The Frederick Sutton Archive: Mr Frederick Sutton was born in Wangford, Suffolk, on 15 June 1850. He was the son of George Sutton (b. 1822), a shoemaker, and Elizabeth Breeze (b. 1818), both Suffolk natives who had married in 1842. Frederick and Ellen, or Ella as she was better known, had three daughters: Elizabeth Ashburner (1880-1892), Florence (1881-1969, later Mrs Francis Henry Tomlin) and Jennie Banham (1883-1894) and the family settled in Haddonfield, Camden, New Jersey where Frederick would make his home for the rest of his life, building his own home there in 1886. He became a realtor, interested mainly in seashore property, and made a sizeable fortune developing the fishing village of Wildwood at the beginning of the century. He was also president of the First National Bank of Collingswood and the Marine National Bank of Wildwood. He held the office of treasurer in various corporations: Wildwood Hotel Company, Five Mile Beach Electric Company, West Jersey Electric Company and North Wildwood Electric Company. Mr Sutton made the voyage to England in March 1912 on the advice of his physician for an undisclosed illness. For his return to the USA, Mr Sutton boarded the Titanic at Southampton as a First-Class passenger (ticket number 36963, which cost £32, 6s, 5d). He occupied cabin D-50. After the collision with the iceberg, an elderly male passenger was reported to have been trapped in his room; some have speculated that this might have been Mr Sutton. George Arthur Brayton, a First-Class Passenger and survivor, reported that he sat next door to Mr Sutton in the dining room on Saturday and Sunday, and he had reported not feeling well. Frederick Sutton died in the sinking, and his body was recovered by the MacKay-Bennett (#46). However, Mr Sutton’s fate was not immediately ascertained; his daughter and son-in-law travelled to New York to seek news when the survivors arrived on board the Carpathia on April 18th. The White Star Line subsequently gave assurances to his family that, although he had been lost, his body was being brought into Halifax, Nova Scotia, on board the MacKay Bennett; however, sadly, this did not prove to be accurate. In the meantime, Francis H Tomlin and his brother-in-law, Robert Moore, journeyed to Halifax on April 27. All of Mr Sutton‘s possessions were claimed by Francis Tomlin in Halifax. They had been placed in a white camp bag bearing the number 46. His effects and recovery were listed by the Halifax authorities and C.S. MacKay-Bennett as: NO. 46. - MALE. - ESTIMATED AGE, 60. - HAIR, BROWN; BEARD, GREY. His body was buried at sea on 22 April. CLOTHING - Black coat, vest and trousers; black boots. EFFECTS - Gold watch and chain; tie clip; pocket book; knife; three silver spoons with Norwich enamel crest; watch fob; gold seal ring with "F. S."; Freeman Medal; $60.00 in travellers' cheques; £2. 10s. in gold, 16s. in silver, $13 loose coins in purse; circular letter of credit for £100, Kountz Bros., N. Y., No. D. 18331; two silver thimbles; eyeglasses in case; silver whistle R.M.S. Titanic : The collection has remained in the family since 1912 and has never been publicly seen before. 18ct gold cased keyless wind open-faced gentleman's pocket watch, the jewelled movement detailed 'The Bailey Banks and Biddle Co, Philadelphia with Waltham and Co movement. This watch travelled with Frederick Sutton on Titanic and was recovered as part of his effects by the MacKay-Bennett . The watch case is heavily dented, the face bears the scars of the trauma of the sinking, hour and minute hands are missing but the seconds is present frozen in time by the cold North Atlantic water. The original Albert watch chain accompanies the piece having never been parted. A truly historic relic from the Titanic . 6.5cms, chain 19cms.
