Born in 1895 at Somerville, Massachusetts, Sutton's family moved to Canada in 1896.[2] He was educated at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, and was a farmer and fruit grower in Kings County, Nova Scotia.[2] He married Lulu Marguerite Morine in 1919.[2] Sutton was a municipal councillor in Kings County, and served as president of the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers Association.[2]

Sutton entered provincial politics in the 1945 election, winning the Kings County riding.[3] He was re-elected in the now dual-member Kings County riding in 1949, serving with Liberal William Harvey Pipe.[4] In the 1953 election, both Sutton and Pipe were defeated by Progressive Conservatives Edward Haliburton, and George Arthur Boggs.[5] Sutton died on February 13, 1970.[2]
