        G. W. Sutliff has been a resident of California since 1872.  He started 
in life with no capital, and by honest toil and judicious management has secured 
a competency and won for himself a position of prominence in the community where 
he resides.
        Mr. Sutliff was born in Michigan in 1847, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. 
Sutliff, natives of New York.  His mother died in Lorain County, Ohio, and his 
father is living in that State at this writing, aged seventy-six years.  As 
already stated, Mr. Sutliff came to California in 1872.  He at once located at 
Marysville, rented sixty acres of land, and cultivated it until 1877.  In the 
latter year he purchased the farm he now owns, 421 acres, situated three miles 
and a half from Marysville.  This is a well-improved ranch, all fenced, and is 
devoted principally to the production of grain and stock.
        The subject of our sketch chose for his life companion Miss Emily B. 
Bruce, a native of Ohio.  Their family consists of four children:  Loria B., 
Bruce H., George William and Ellis A.  Mr. Sutliff is a member of the I. O. O. 
F., Yuba Lodge, No. 5, and of the G. A. R., Post No. 80.
