"Sutton, MS
H. L. and W. C. Wilkerson were early owners of this land but when the R. J. Darnell Lumber Company built the Batesville and Southwestern Railroad in 1903 a flag stop was located here and named for a local citizen.
The place reached its height about 1916 when it consisted of a sawmill, one store and several shacks. The flag stop was discontinued in 1928 and in 1932 when the tracks were taken up Sutton was extinct."
