He was raised and educated on a number of farms and attended schools in that area, graduating from Seneca High School in May of 1952. After spending two summers on the home farm and one winter with Findorf Construction Co. in Madison, WI, on September 28th, 1953, Harry joined the U.S. Marine Corps for three years. After graduating from basic training in December 1953, in San Diego, CA, he was assigned and served with the 1st Tank BTLN 1st Marine Div. Camp in Pendleton, CA. He spent one year from 1954 to 1955, overseas in the Korean Conflict south of DMZ. On July 28th, 1956, he was united in marriage to Joyce M. Springborn of De Soto, WI at St. Peters Lutheran Church in Prairie du Chien. The first two months of marriage were spent in Fallbrook, CA while Harry finished his enlistment and was honorably discharged from service on September 29th, 1956. Upon returning to Wisconsin with his wife, they made a home and started a family of three children in the Seneca area. After several years of helping on the home farm and being employed at Johnson One Stop Shopping in Seneca for five years, on September 28, 1963, the Harry Sutton family of five moved to Burlington, WI, Racine County, to set down roots to deal with life’s adventures and supporting a family.
