They raised three children who now live in Downer's Grove, IL, Cheyenne, WY and Poulsbo, WA. Kathryn passed away on February 24, 2013 after experiencing Alzheimer's for six years.
Royal had the good fortune of working at the Rinehart-Marsden Studio in Omaha, eventually taking over the ownership but closing the studio in 1969. The one important thing that survived that closing, were nearly 500 glass plate negatives produced by Frank A. Rinehart, the founder of the Studio. The negatives were portraits of Native American Indians who were brought to the Trans-Mississippi Exposition in 1898 as an exhibition.
Sutton published "The Face of Courage" in 1972 featuring the portraits produced by Rinehart. Since more than a generation has passed since then, Sutton was convinced it was time to make certain later generations would know of this record of a race that in 1898 was truly on the "Edge of Extinction".ver menos
