McKinnie Sutton, former County Court Clerk, dies
Author: Duay O'Neil
COSBY-McKinnie Sutton, whose efforts were instrumental in Cocke County being awarded a Hillburton Grant which led to the building of Cocke County Memorial Hospital, died Sunday evening at the hospital (now Baptist Hospital of Cocke County) after a short illness. He was 80.
Sutton's work for better health care for Cocke County's citizens came while he served two terms as Cocke County Court Clerk. He later served on the hospital's board of directors.
During Sutton's tenure as a county official, he also worked closely with the late Col. M. M. Bullard to establish the local Industrial Park at Rankin and secure George Bentley as an industrial recruiter.
Born at Mt. Sterling, North Carolina on August 18, 1930, Sutton was a son of the late Hollis Sutton and Loma Haynes Sutton Garren.
