Her obituary said:
MRS. SUE MCNUTT PIONEER OF TEXAS HAS PASSED AWAY.
Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, May 29, 1927, Mrs. Sue McNutt passed away at her home near Kenney, Texas. She had been ill since last November, spending much of the time since then in a Temple hospital, where she underwent two operations.
Mrs. McNutt was born in Alabama February 3, 1858, and moved with her parents to Texas in 1867. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Brown, who were pioneers, formerly of South Carolina, and came here in the early days helping in every way to pave the way for the present generation.
Mrs. McNutt grew to girlhood near where she spent her entire life. She was married Nov. 1876 to the late Nathan McNutt, who preceeded her to the grave several years ago. He also was a member of one of the fine old families of the early days. To this couple were born ten children, all of whom are living and were with her during her last hours except Edgar, who died in 1900 and Ernest who was called to his reward in January of this year, giving this bereaved family a double cross to bear.
The remaining children are Joe B. McNutt of Houston, Mrs. M. Smith and Dr. Nathan McNutt of Caldwell, Mrs. Dick Irvin and Miss Johnnie McNutt of Wallis, Misses Perle and Mamie McNutt of Kenney. There are ten grandchildren: three brothers of J. B. Brown of Waller, W. E. Brown of Smithville, Dr. W. T. Brown of Wallis; two sisters, Mrs. Lulia Lewis of San Antonio and Mrs. Ira T. Clemons of Comanche remain to grieve her passing. Mrs. McNutt's friends were numbered by her acquaintances.

**Another write up about her in the newspaper**
She was a fine Christian woman, devoted wife, and a wonderful mother. A friend to everyone and an angel of mercy to the poor and needy, the sick and suffering. The night was never too dark and the weather never too bad for her to go to those who needed her and the large concourse of sorrowing ones who followed the hearse which carried her to her last resting place at old Concord Hill, near Kenney, where sleep many of her loved ones, attested to the fact that she was held in the highest esteem by all who knew her and her fine family. She will be missed by that big family, as her home was their reunion place; by the neighbors with whom she kept close touch, by many friends to whom she was as a ray of sunshine, by the church which she loved and helped support - for she was a Methodist from childhood as were her parents. She served her day and generation to the best of her ability and we know that a crown of righteousness awaits her faithfulness to her family, her church, her friends and her Master whom she delighted to serve daily.
Rev. G. Z. Sadler, of Houston said the last rights over her body as he had done for her loved ones who had passed on. Her grave was covered with beautiful flowers she loved so well in life and the sorrowing crowd dispersed and left that new mound on the high lonely hill, many of them knowing that they had laid away their best and truest friend - for truly she was one of God's shining lights.
A Friend.
