History
Warner P. Sutton owned the house
for 36 years from 1877 until
1913.
In 1875, he came to Saugatuck as
Superintendent of Schools.
In 1878, he was appointed
Consular Agent and then Consul
General of Mexico. He
served fifteen years in these
offices during the
administration of Presidents
Hayes, Garfield, Arthur,
Cleveland and Harrison.
In 1889, he was called to
Washington
by the Secretary of State to act
as Secretary of the American
Delegation to the first
Pan-American Conference.
His greatest effort was given to
improving commercial and
friendly relations between the
U.S.
and
Mexico.
After leaving his diplomatic
service, Mr. Sutton practiced
International Law, most notably
winning the famous Cheek Case
against the King of Siam.
During the Spanish American War,
he served under General Miles in
Puerto Rico,
after which he retired, living
in Saugatuck at his home, which
he called 'the Beeches', later
changed to 'Beechwood Manor'.
He and his wife, Lois May,
raised their four children in
the house- three daughters,
Ethel, Enid and Saida and one
son, Edwin.
