GEN. SULLIVAN DEAD.
Prominent Citizen Passed Away Quits
Suddenly At His Home
This Afternoon.
General Timothy Sullivan, one of
the city's oldest and best known citi-
zens, died at his home in East
Second Street, at 3 o'clock this after-
noon. General Sullivan has been in
poor health for some time past and
death was the result of a hemorrhage.
General Sullivan was a famous fig-
ure in local military circles in
years gone by. When the war broke
out he went out as Colonel of the 24th
Infantry which he left here in the
spring of 1861. He remained
in the service for two years
and took a prominent part in many
memorable battles. On his return
he was made Colonel of
the 48th Regiment and in 1872 re-
ceived an appointment as Brigadier
General of the 24th Brigade, N.G., N.
Y. In 1876 the brigade was reorganized
and was made the Sixth Brigade of
which the deceased was again made
Brigadier General. He held the
office with credit to himself and the
Guard until 1881 when the brigade
was disbanded. General Sullivan
conducted a boot and shoe store for
several years.
He was eighty years old and is sur-
vived by Dr. A.A. Sullivan, the
dentist, C.D. Sullivan, and Mrs. W.
L. Morgan of this city, and W.H.
Sullivan of Kansas City.
