Biography
Margaret Sutton was born Rachel Beebe, in Odin, Pennsylvania on January 22, 1903. Her parents were Victor L. Beebe, a historian, musician, and carpenter, and Estella Andrews Beebe. She grew up in Coudersport, near the New York State border. Sutton found a love of storytelling from her mother at an early age. Sutton also loved literature and history, which she probably inherited from her father, who wrote "The History of Potter County." [2]
She attended Rochester Business Institute in New York to become a stenographer. When she graduated, she worked as a secretary and later as a printer. Later, she taught creative writing to adults and many of her students became published authors.[1]
In 1924, she married William Henry Sutton. They had five children together. It wasn't until after she married him, that her writing career began. It started when she wrote stories for William's daughter. Her stories were published in "Picture World," a magazine for children, under the name Rachel B. Sutton. She also wrote book reviews. In 1932, she published her first series book, The Vanishing Shadow, about a girl named Judy Bolton who solves mysteries. The novel was published under a pen name, Margaret Sutton. William died in 1965, and ten years later she married Everett Hunting.[1]
Margaret Sutton and her husband, William, were among the founding members of the South Nassau Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Freeport, N.Y. Additionally, Sutton was an activist in social causes such as fair housing and participated in the historic "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom" in 1963.[3]
She died at age 98 in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, as Margaret S. Hunting from her second marriage to Everett Hunting. She died of natural causes.[1] Margaret Sutton wrote (but never published) a religious education curriculum, "Letters to Live By, which was taught in several churches. [3] After her death, two of her daughters, Lindsay Stroh and Marjorie Eckstein, rewrote and updated "Letters to Live By" and Marjorie finished the illustrations a few weeks before her death at age 91 in 2017.[citation needed]
Judy Bolton
The first Judy Bolton book, was published in 1932, called ''The Vanishing Shadow.'' Sutton was best known for writing the Judy Bolton mystery series, which sold more than five million copies. Her Judy Bolton books were advertised as all being based on actual events from Sutton's life. Many of the Judy Bolton stories are based on events from Sutton's hometown, Coudersport, Pennsylvania.[1][4]
Her earlier Judy Bolton books were illustrated by Pelagie Doane, who also illustrated her Magic Maker books.
The last Judy Bolton book that Sutton published was ''The Secret of the Sand Castle,'' in 1967. The series ended in 1967, before the next book The Strange Likeness could be published. However, In 1997, Linda Joy Singleton privately published Judy Bolton: The Talking Snowman, a new Judy Bolton mystery written by Sutton and Singleton.[3] Sutton began the manuscript for this book in 1980, and years later Singleton finished it with help from Sutton. The incidents in this book placed it between the 3rd and 4th books in the series, leading it to be known as book # 3-1/2.
In 2012, with the permission of Margaret Sutton's family, coauthors Kate Duvall and Beverly Hatfield wrote The Strange Likeness based on Margaret Sutton's original title and conversations with the author and her family. It was edited by Margaret Sutton's youngest daughter, Lindsay Sutton Stroh, and illustrated by another daughter, Marjorie Sutton Eckstein. Published by Applewood Books, the volume is #39 in the Judy Bolton Mystery Series.
Other publications
Sutton wrote many books including the Gail Gardner series, Palace Wagon Family, Jemima, Daughter of Daniel Boone, and The Magic Maker series.[3] Sutton did all her own writing and holds the distinction of having the longest lasting juvenile mystery series written by a single author, unlike the series books written by numerous authors by the Stratemeyer Syndicate. A Shepherd Boy of Australia and The Boys of the Ohio Valley were illustrated with photographs.

HISTORY AUTHOR COMPLETES LIFE
Death of Victor L. Beebe Distint Loss to Town and Whole County.
The death of Victor L. Beebe, one of the best known residents of Potter County, occurred at the family home here Sunday night at 9:00 o'clock. Mr. Beebe had been in poor health for some time but did not give up his usual activities until a short time ago. The last issue of the Enterprise noted his serious illness, expressing the hope his condition might improve. Unable to talk when the paper arrived att he home, he read it and appeared pleased when he found the mention of his illness.
His parents were pioneer settlers of Ulysses and Keating townships. Most of his boyhood was spent on the old Harris homestead, now owned by Ray Hackett, at Odin. He attended Coudersport High School from 1887 to 1889, then entered Alfred University, being a student there until 1892 in the civil engineering course. He made an outstanding record as a student in mathematics.
After leaving Alfred he engaged in carpenter work, which trade he followed for life, gaining a reputation as an exceptionally fine workman. He was a fine tenor singer, pianist and composer.
On October 26, 1894, he was united in marriage to Estella Andrews of Keating Summit and they made their home at Odin until 1912, when they moved to the present home in Coudersport. She preceded him in death three years ago, February 25, 1936. To this union were born four children, three of whom survive:
- Mrs C.E. Ingalls of Coudersport,
- Rev. Clifford A. Beebe of Berea, W.Va., and
- Mrs W. H. Sutton of Brooklyn, NY.
Mrs. Sutton has made for herself a splendid reputation as the author of the Judith Bolton series of stories for girls. A son died in infancy.
He is also survived by two sisters,
- Marjorie and
- Gladys Beebe of Inez,
and 14 grandchildren. A cousin, W.K. Everett of Odin, is the only other close relative.
Mr. Beebe was the author of History of Potter County, published by the Potter County Historical Society in 1934. A tremendous amount of research work was necessary to compile the splendid work. He contributed various articles during the years of historical nature and was one of the most enthusiastic members of the local society.
He was a brilliant student, an honest, upright citizen, a kind father and a generous neighbor. He will be missed by many, including the editors of the Enterprise.
Funeral services, in charge of Rev. William I. Bell, were held at the First Presbyterian Church, of which he had been a member for many years, at 2:30 pm yesterday, and interment was made at Inez Cemetery.
Out-of-town relatives attending the funeral were:
- Clifford A. Beebe, Berea, WVa;
- Mrs W.H. Sutton, Brooklyn, NY;
- Mrs. Adelia Mitcheltree, Keating Summit;
- Mrs. Ray Mitcheltree and Mrs. Clella Avion, Emporium;
- Mr and Mrs Clyde Bundy and children, Austin;
- Misses Marjorie and Gladys Beebe, Inez, and
- W.K. Everett and Fred Postlewaite and son, Odin.
The bearers, men with whom the deceased had worked for years, were:
- George Griesel,
- Leon Fickler,
- Arthur Froebel,
- Major Weimer,
- Truman Mitcherltree and
- Bernie Tauscher.

HISTORY AUTHOR COMPLETES LIFE
Death of Victor L. Beebe Distint Loss to Town and Whole County.
The death of Victor L. Beebe, one of the best known residents of Potter County, occurred at the family home here Sunday night at 9:00 o'clock. Mr. Beebe had been in poor health for some time but did not give up his usual activities until a short time ago. The last issue of the Enterprise noted his serious illness, expressing the hope his condition might improve. Unable to talk when the paper arrived att he home, he read it and appeared pleased when he found the mention of his illness.
His parents were pioneer settlers of Ulysses and Keating townships. Most of his boyhood was spent on the old Harris homestead, now owned by Ray Hackett, at Odin. He attended Coudersport High School from 1887 to 1889, then entered Alfred University, being a student there until 1892 in the civil engineering course. He made an outstanding record as a student in mathematics.
After leaving Alfred he engaged in carpenter work, which trade he followed for life, gaining a reputation as an exceptionally fine workman. He was a fine tenor singer, pianist and composer.
On October 26, 1894, he was united in marriage to Estella Andrews of Keating Summit and they made their home at Odin until 1912, when they moved to the present home in Coudersport. She preceded him in death three years ago, February 25, 1936. To this union were born four children, three of whom survive:
- Mrs C.E. Ingalls of Coudersport,
- Rev. Clifford A. Beebe of Berea, W.Va., and
- Mrs W. H. Sutton of Brooklyn, NY.
Mrs. Sutton has made for herself a splendid reputation as the author of the Judith Bolton series of stories for girls. A son died in infancy.
He is also survived by two sisters,
- Marjorie and
- Gladys Beebe of Inez,
and 14 grandchildren. A cousin, W.K. Everett of Odin, is the only other close relative.
Mr. Beebe was the author of History of Potter County, published by the Potter County Historical Society in 1934. A tremendous amount of research work was necessary to compile the splendid work. He contributed various articles during the years of historical nature and was one of the most enthusiastic members of the local society.
He was a brilliant student, an honest, upright citizen, a kind father and a generous neighbor. He will be missed by many, including the editors of the Enterprise.
Funeral services, in charge of Rev. William I. Bell, were held at the First Presbyterian Church, of which he had been a member for many years, at 2:30 pm yesterday, and interment was made at Inez Cemetery.
Out-of-town relatives attending the funeral were:
- Clifford A. Beebe, Berea, WVa;
- Mrs W.H. Sutton, Brooklyn, NY;
- Mrs. Adelia Mitcheltree, Keating Summit;
- Mrs. Ray Mitcheltree and Mrs. Clella Avion, Emporium;
- Mr and Mrs Clyde Bundy and children, Austin;
- Misses Marjorie and Gladys Beebe, Inez, and
- W.K. Everett and Fred Postlewaite and son, Odin.
The bearers, men with whom the deceased had worked for years, were:
- George Griesel,
- Leon Fickler,
- Arthur Froebel,
- Major Weimer,
- Truman Mitcherltree and
- Bernie Tauscher.

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 217, No 12, p 24, Dec., 1995.
Clara Gertrude (Lewis) Beebe, 98, passed from this life on August 31, 1995, at Daytona Beach, Fla.
She was born on March 19, 1897, in Little Genesee, N.Y., the daughter of Clarence L.E. Lewis and Extella (Buten) Lewis. Her mother died when Clara was 16, and she helped raise her younger brothers and sisters.
- Following her mother's death, the family moved from their farm home to Alfred, N.Y.
- Clara attended Alfred University, majoring in home economics.
- On August 18, 1922, she married Clifford Beebe, a student at Alfred School of Theology.
Shortly after their marriage, the Beebes moved to Fouke, Ark., where Clifford pastored the Seventh Day Baptist Church and both taught in the local SDB academy. This began a long series of pastorates in many states, with Clara faithfully working beside her husband. In 1965, they were the first SDBs to undertake a missionary field trip to meet with Sabbatarians in Mexico.
Clara served on the Women's Board and the Young People's Board of General Conference.
In 1967, she received the Robe of Achievement from the Women's Society.
- Clara was a housewife who stayed home and cared for her children - except for a few years during World War II when teachers were in short supply. She maintained a lifelong love of poetry, which she passed on to her children. She was active in ministry with her husband, and together they established three youth camping programs. She was particularly active in work with children and young people, and taught innumerable Vacation Bible Schools, Sabbath Schools, and summer camps.
At the time of her death, Clara was living in Daytona Beach. Seldom able to attend services in recent years, she maintained a lively interest in both the local congregation and in the broader work of Seventh Day Baptists.
Survivors include
- one daughter, Anne Lastinger, of Daytona Beach;
- and one son, David, of St. Louis, Mo.
She also leaves behind, to glory in her Christian teaching and example, 15 grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
- In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by a twin son, Paul, who died in 1971; and by one great-grandson.
A memorial service was held at the Daytona Beach SDB Church on September 4, 1995, with Rev. John H. Camenga offIciating.
- On September 9, 1995, a committal service was held at the SDB cemetery at Caraway, near Palatka, Fla.
