The death Of J. G. Sullivan occurred at
his residence in Oakland yesterday. The
deceased was unconscious from the time his
illness began until death relieved his suffer
ing. His death was due to the breaking of
n blood vessel in his brain, which &C Cured
one week ago. He had not been very well
for six or eight months, having been con-
fined to his home by rheumatism, but he was
much better until during the past few weeks.
The deceased was well known in San Fran
cisco and oakland, where he has resided for
several years, and many friends regret his
death. He was prominent member of the
Indiana State Association of California. He
was born at Madison, Ind, sixty-One years

rectinn raid being executed by Forrest

Forrest did not come anywhere near his
destination, for Sullivan was in the way.
Afterward he was assigned by General
Grant to duty as his chief of staff, and
served i'll that position few months. Gen
era RoSecranz regarded him with highest
esteem, and often speaks of his gallantry.
At the close of the war General Sullivan
lived for q time at Oakland, Md, and
about twelve years ago removed to Califor-
mia. He was lawyer by profession. but
did not devote himself to practice. For a
few years he was i'll the Office of the United
States Pension Agent in San Francisco, and
again for time clerk In the Office of the
Railroad Commission. In 1873 he delivered
the Grafton on Memorial day in San Fran
cisco. General Sullivan was married during
the war to daughter of Major-General ID.

unmarried daughter, Mary l.. who is we'll
known in musical circles, survive him. The
deceased was brother-in-law of Peter II.
burnett the first Governor of California,
who married his sister. General Sullivan
never claimed pension for bis services.
Arrangements have been made to hold tine
