Death of Joseph Sullivan
Breaks Link With Old West
By JOEL F. OVERHOLSER

The death of Joseph Sullivan, pio-
neer Fort Benton saddler and harness
maker. marks the severing of another
of Montana's links to her colorful and
picturesque past.
Sullivan, who built saddles that have
topped some of Montanas most stub
born "broncs" and the more docile
strings of hundreds of range riders
over a Cougar period, died at Fort
Benton hospital after an extremely
brief illness, on April %. His legs,
which were frozen III Montana's black
winter of l886-lS87 when hundreds of
thousands of cattle persisted. had been
troubling him for the last few months;
old age, which he had withstood for
SO long and so we'll, was overcoming
him, and the attack of pneumonia
which struck suddenly on Sunday,
April 81, claimed as its victim the old
timer who held the record of being
longer in business in Fort Benton than
any other living person.
The men who built the saddles
which were cinched onto the hurricane
decks of Montana broncs never received
any part of the credit going to the
cowpuncher who had made a good
Glacier County chief., 1940-05-10

at least to the normal use he had
known before the accident.
Sullivan knew all the old-time cattle
men, and they all knew him, Most Of
them-Conrad Kohrs, Miner, Uncle
Dan Flowerree, Jack Harris, and a
host of others-bought saddles and
equipment from him. And it didn't
really matter whether they all owned
Sullivan saddles or not. If an indi-
vidual in question swore by some other
saddler, the rider bouncing alongside
him was probably cussing because Joe
Sullivan's saddle leather was so hard.
Met Theodore Roosevelt
One time, he once said, he met
Teddy Roosevelt in eastern Montana
at the time that the president-to-be
was "roughing it" in eastern Montana
and western Dakota. He mentioned to
Roosevelt that his home in Port Chester
was near RooSevelt's home town in
New York, and remembered with pleas
ure Teddy's evident interest in that
news.
Sullivan was married in 1895 to Rose
McQuillan, at Dubuque, Ia. Miss Nc
Quillan was one of the first, If not
the first, school teacher in the town
of Fort Benton. Mrs. Sullivan died
about 1904. There are two daughters,
both still living, and several cousins,
most of whom live in Great Falls.

their own lands on their own river,
where they intend to live on deer and
get a few beaver. On account of snow
they are apprehensive that they will
not be able to go sufficiently far off
to make great hunt. :. In differ
since their arrival, they express a wish
to have a fort on their own lands.
Every means should be adapted
to keep them on their own lands for
they make a better hunt there than
elsewhere. Their unprecedented trade
this fall is to be mainly attributed to
their hunting in the summer and fall
in the upper waters of their own river
and the Columbia.

they were all on horseback and came
singing and firing guns with flag

volley of muSkets. The chiefs and some
of the principal men smoked in the

very bad that we cannot well put them
out and they will have to sleep through
the houses the best way they can. 1t
is too late to trade today. Z.
Sunday. 18th-Commenced trading

traded all the articles they had for

powder, and two feet of tobacco was
made to each of the chiefs and a re-
Enumeration made two of them for

Some others of the principal men got
also a present of a few balls and
powder and in the afternoon they all
went off apparently pleased. On &C
count Of the bad road and weakness
of the horses the greater part of the
Flat Heads are not going to hunt the
buffalo this winter but are going to
pass the winter hunting beaver.

going back to the buffalo at present.

meat to subsist on during the winter.
