Utah man dies in Davis County crash
By Mariah Noble Salt Lake Tribune: May 09, 2016
One man died and another was seriously injured in a Davis County crash Sunday morning. A 75-year-old man from Clearfield died Sunday after the car he was driving hydroplaned on Interstate 15 and was hit by a motor home. The crash occurred on northbound I-15 near milepost 329 at about 9 a.m., a press release from the Utah Highway Patrol said. The man, Stephen L. Stumph, was driving a silver Toyota Camry in the rain. There was standing water on the roadway, and, according to the news release, Stumph was traveling too fast for the weather conditions and lost control of the vehicle. His car sideswiped a Hyundai Elantra on the right, which then pushed the Camry back to the left directly into the path of a 37-foot motor home. According to the press release, the motor home struck the Camry "squarely" on the driver's door. Stumph died at the scene, and his male passenger was transported via helicopter to the University of Utah Hospital with serious injuries, the press release states. The occupants of the motor home were transported to the hospital by ambulance with minor injuries, and no one in the Elantra was injured. Everyone involved in the crash, caused by speed and weather conditions, was wearing a seat belt, the news release added. @May2016 ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Stephen Lynn Stumph, 1941–2016.

Class of 1881. George Sutherland was born in England on March 15, 1862. His parents, Alexander George Sutherland and Frances Slater Sutherland, joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and moved to Utah when Sutherland was a child. His name was the same as his father's, but on coming of age he dropped "Alexander". The Sutherland family became disaffected from the Mormon Church. After attending Brigham Young High School and Academy, Sutherland attended the University of Michigan Law School, where he was taught by the 19th century constitutional law scholar Thomas M. Cooley. George married Rosamond Lee. Sutherland returned to Utah in 1883, and practiced law first with his father in Provo, and then with others in Salt Lake City. Sutherland was a member of the Utah Territorial Legislature, and a State Senator from 1896-1900. He then was elected to the House of Representatives. In 1905, Sutherland was appointed by the Utah Legislature to the Senate, where he served two terms. In 1922, President Warren G. Harding nominated Sutherland to the Supreme Court. Sutherland strongly believed individuals possessed natural rights with which the state was forbidden to interfere, but his opinions suggest an inconsistent position on these matters. For example, Sutherland dissented without opinion in Meyer v. Nebraska, which held that the state was not permitted to bar the teaching of German in private schools. The Court relied on the right of parents to raise their children largely as they chose, a classic effort at using natural rights views to declare unconstitutional state regulation. Because he did not write an opinion, we do not know why Sutherland dissented in Meyer. The only other dissenter was Oliver Wendell Holmes, who regularly sustained such state legislation. That same year, Sutherland wrote the opinion of the Court in Adkins v. Childrens Hospital, which held unconstitutional a law establishing a minimum wage for women in the District of Columbia (a law which had been upheld in Muller v. Oregon). The opinion in Adkins relies on a notion of natural rights regarding "liberty of contract." While a legislator in Utah, Sutherland supported a maximum hour regulation for miners, which the Court upheld in Holden v. Hardy (1898). For Sutherland, there existed a distinction between minimum wages and maximum hours, a distinction rejected by most. In 1925, Sutherland joined the unanimous opinion of the Court in Pierce v. Society of Sisters, which was based on the principles stated in Meyer. He did not write an opinion explaining whether he was merely acquiescing to the precedent created by his brethren in Meyer, or for some other reason. Sutherland also wrote the Court's opinion permitted zoning regulations in Euclid v. Ambler Realty against a property right challenge in 1926. He dissented in Home Building & Loan Ass'n v. Blaisdell (1934), which permitted Minnesota to adopt a mortgage redemption moratorium period during the Great Depression, on property rights grounds. During the Great Depression, Sutherland was considered the leader of the Four Horsemen (Pierce Butler, James McReynolds and Willis Van Devanter were the others) preventing implementation of the New Deal during the mid-1930s. The demonizing of these members of the Court (the legendary Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were Death, Famine, Pestilence and War) was part of the Progressive effort to reverse the decisions of this "anti-New Deal" Court. Even though FDR's court-packing plan (see bio for Charles Evans Hughes) failed to pass, the Court did change its mind, and the members of the Court opposed to the New Deal began to leave the Court after the constitutional crisis of 1937. Sutherland was a bright, hard-working judge whose fate was to be linked to other Justices whose reactionary politics or racist beliefs are anathema. Sutherland retired from the Court on January 17, 1938. He died on July 18, 1942. ~ ~ ~ ~ Born in England, Sutherland lost his first election for public office when he failed in his bid for mayor of Provo in 1892. Thereafter, however, he notched several political victories: Utah State Senate (1896), U.S. House of Representatives (1900), and finally to the U.S. Senate (1904). Sutherland, who helped found the Utah State Bar, sat on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1922-38.
