Note

Ludwig Sutro, the sixth son of Emanuel and Rosa (Warendorff) Sutro, was born April 8, 1839, and married, at St. Louis, Missouri, November 21, 1876, Lilly Fraatz, born December 12, 1851, daughter of Otto and Louise Fraatz, of the city of Goettingen, in Germany. With his brother Hugo he established, in 1874, under the firm name of Sutro Brothers, in the city of New York, an enterprise for the manufacture of braids and similar articles, which in time grew to large proportions. Upon the incorporation, in 1888, of the Sutro Brothers Braid Company, Ludwig Sutro became president of the corporation. In 1915 he resigned from the executive control of the company and became chairman of its board of trustees. He is a notable merchant who followed, throughout his business career, the finest ideals of mercantile rectitude and justice. Caring nothing for social or public distinction, he devoted himself to charities, in which he has taken a generous and helpful interest.
