See Map I for the location of Boughton. 

     Boughton is populated with a fine class of people and the stores do a thriving business.  E.
 DeLaughter is the postmaster (any write-up of Boughton that didn't mention De Laughter would
 be like a resume of Shakespeare's plays that didn't refer to Hamlet).

He also conducts a store and operates a sawmill. 

     The community is also fortunate in the atmosphere of its educational and religious
 interests.  The school at Boughton is one of the best in the county. Two churches in the
 immediate vicinity afford her ample places of worship.  Then there is Providence Church two
 miles west and Piney Grove Church two miles east, around both of which hover many pleasant
 memories of sweet religious experiences.

     Drs. T. W. McDaniel and Dr. J. E. Cox look after the health of the community and both
 are practicing physicians. 

     The lands are fertile and the range is fine.  

SUTTON

This article was written in the January 16, 1913 issue of The Nevada News.

     In going from Prescott, the beautiful county seat of Nevada County to Sutton, a small
 burg of four stores and 60-70 inhabitants, you pass through what is known as Wrentown, the
 suburbs of Sutton and one of the most attractive neighborhoods in the county and many of the
 best improved farms in the county.

     After you cross the creek, and pass the farms of Mathews, Martin, Hale, McGough, Fore,
 Purtle, Easterling, you come next to the beautiful home of Sam Wren, son of Dr. Wren.  Sam
 was born and raised here and owns a nice farm and thinks there is no place like Wrentown as a
 neighborhood, as Sutton for a town, nor Prescott for a city. 

     The next place adjoining Sam's is his father's, Dr. Wren, who has lived and practiced
 medicine in Wrentown for about 40 years.  At or near the center of the neighborhood is the old
 Wren residence, where now lives J. C. Woodul, son-in-law of Dr. Wren, who since becoming
 owner of the place, has made it one of the most desirable and prettiest farms in the county.  

     A. G. Wren, another son of Dr. Wren, and one of the merchants at Sutton, lives at and
 owns the next lovely and last place on the way to Sutton.  Wrentown, with the other surrounding
 neighborhoods, has put Sutton on a boom, and it seems destined to make a spoon and spoil a
 horn. 

     Sutton has one of the largest and best schools and one of the best buildings in Nevada
 County, and with it's beloved principal, Prof. Hirst and efficient assistants, is moving along nicely. 


WILLISVILLE

     I could not find an article about Willisville.  It is an old community also.  Too bad we do
 not have an article about the place in those days.
