Andrew Sullivan
Source: Album of history and biography of Meeker County, Minnesota (1888) transcribed by Kim Mohler
ANDREW SULLIVAN. Prominent among the old settlers of Forest City where he makes his home, upon section 36, is the subject of this biographical memoir. He is a native of County Kerry, Ireland, born in October, 1822. He remained in the beloved land of his birth until thirty years of age, but growing tired of the oppressed condition of his country, he determined to seek in the New World the freedom he could not find under British rule or misrule. June 22, 1852, he embarked at Liverpool, England, whither he had gone for that purpose, and, after an ocean voyage, landed at Boston, where he remained some three years. From there he moved to Indiana, but in the spring of 1857 came to Meeker county, and settled on section 25, Forest City township. Some fifteen or sixteen years later he removed to his present place. He has a fine farm of some 276 acres, much of which is under the plow. He has been accustomed to farm work from this youth up, and of course thoroughly understands his calling in all respects, and his place shows it.
Mr. Sullivan was united in marriage January 7, 1858, with Miss Bridget Flynn, a native of Ireland, who had come to the United States with friends in 1852. The wedding ceremony was performed in the city of Chicago, where Mr. Sullivan was employed at the time. By this union there have been born five children – John, Margaret, Ellen, Mary and Catherine. The last two mentioned are school-teachers, and all, being still single, are living with their parents, except Mary and Catherine, whose duties carry them to other places, although their home is beneath the parental roof.
Mr. Sullivan is one of the leading agriculturists and stock-raisers of Forest City, and keeps up a herd of some thirty-five or forty head of good horned cattle and some nine or ten horses, the latter of which are part Norman blood. In his political faith he may be classed among the democrats. He and his estimable family are members of the Roman Catholic Church, attending services at Forest City.
