VETERAN ARCHITECT DIES ON EVE OF ANNIVERSARY
John A. Sutherland, Thirty seven Years a Federal Employe.
Funeral services for John A. SUTHERLAND, chief of the inspecting division in the archietect’s [sp.] office, Treasury Department, who died at the Portner apartments yesterday after an illness lasting several weeks, will be held from his apartments tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. The services will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. WEILDLEY, pastor of the Church of the Reformation, of which Mr. SUTHERLAND was a member. The interment, which is private, will be in the Congressional Cemetery.
Mr. SUTHERLAND died at the age of sixty-four. Had he been alive today he would have celebrated his thirty-seventh anniversary in Government employ. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and came to this country at the age of twenty-six, going soon afterward into Government employ. In 1897 he was appointed chief of the inspecting division in the architect’s office, where he remained until his death. He was a member of the Masonic order.
Mr. SUTHERLAND is survived by a wife and three children, two sons and a daughter.
