Biography
A son of Elderton, Pennsylvania, John Sturgeon first drew breath on 1 May 1859. In the flickering dawn of American cinema he slipped into character, lending his presence to Martin Chuzzlewit (1912), It Is Never Too Late to Mend (1913), and the 1915 retelling of Vanity Fair. Ninety-nine winters after his entrance, the curtain fell: he died quietly in Plumcreek, Pennsylvania, on 20 December 1938.
