very large CIRCLE of friends WHO knew Aui
cordially esteemed MIR Sullivan. Mr.. SUI
Ivan WAS The son If Mr. Richard sullivan
Of Boston, and was born in that city in
l~4l HI came of a very distinguished an
cy~try. hriu, IN the direct linz Of descent
from the gallant General Sullivan Of the
Revolution and from the great barr-ter,
Governor James Sulliyan, who was also a
Justice 9f the Supreme Court Nr. Suli-
van was educated IN Boston schools and
was early bred 10 mercantile life, entering
the Old dry goods commission house of
Minot & Hooper. He continued with them
for several years. He was an active MEM
her OF the New England Guards at the out
break Of the war. He raised a company
for Col. Francis Lees regiment. the Forty
fourth Massachusetts,, and at the age Of 2l
was commissioned captain, going with the
regiment to North Carolina. He took part
with it III the defence Of Little Washington.
and while imprisoned by the rebels was re-
lcved by his friend, the late Lieut. Will
liam Saltonstsll, who came up with his
gunboat and liberated the garrison. The
incident is recalled in connection with the
death of the two friends with so brief an
interval between. After the war Captain
Sullivan went TO Salem with MI. Edmund
Dwight and entered the service of the
Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company as its
clerk. Some twelve years ago he was
| made its treasurer, and has filed the posi-
tion ever since with honor to himself and
| to the great acceptance of the directors
and stockholders 4 little more than
year ago his health which had been fail
! ing demanded a change, and he was grant
ed a six months leave of absence by the
directors of the company. With his
brother, Mr. Russell Sullivan, he travelled
abroad joining Mr.. Corcoran and spend
ing last winter on the Nile. Mr.. C0ncoran
was with Mr.. Saltonstall during his last
moments at Domo dOssoli Italy, and Mr,
Sullivan, with his brother went to
Paris to obtain the most able surgical
advice for his rapidly increasing malady.
, 1t is learned that he was found to be suf-
fering from a serious spinal trouble, the
progress of which the best medical skill
was unable to check and which ultimately
caused his death. Mr.. Sullivan was never
married but was very popular socially both
| in Salem and Boston. He was q gentle
man Of retiring nature, but man Of re-
markable endurance and nerve. Though
suffering from a terribly painful disease.
he made no complaint or murmur.
| but bore his suffering with Christian forti-
tude and manliness Few of his friends
knew the ex'ent of his suffering. He was
a thorough gentleman in the noblest and
best Interpretation Of the word. Mr.. Sui
| liyan was a member of the Loyal Legion
| Of Massachusetts and also Of the Eastern
| Yacht Club. He was director In the
| Salem National Bank. He will be greatly
missed in Salem, which has been his home
| for so many years.
