Henry Christian Sullivan died in Ashland July 4. His body was found by a friend in his office about six o’clock in the evening. It is thought his death was due to apoplexy or acute indigestion.
Mr. Sullivan entered his office about 45 minutes before his death was discovered. Dr. Saulsbury went into his office and thought he was asleep in the chair, but upon investigation found he was dead.
This community was greatly shocked by the news of Mr. Sullivan’s death, which was received by a few relatives about nine o’clock Wednesday night. He came to Louisa only a few days ago to hear a sermon preached by his nephew, Rev. F. F. Shannon and was apparently in the best of health. If he had been suffering from any infirmity more than slight indigestion we have not been able to hear of it. His wife was with their daughter, Mrs. J. B. Fox at Portsmouth, when the sudden summons came. W. N., his only brother, was at Frankfort. The body was removed to the home of his sister, Mrs. T. C. Songer, from which place the funeral will occur on Friday evening. The body will be brought to Louisa on Saturday morning for interment in Pine Hill cemetery, by the side of his parents and deceased brother.
Mr. Sullivan was 54 years of age, youngest son of Rev. Christian Sullivan and Chattie Moore Sullivan. He was born in Louisa and had lived here nearly all his life. Last year he went to Ashland to engage in the life insurance business and had succeeded in building up a desirable line of business when the call came that ended his career in this world. He was educated at Vanderbilt University and entered upon the practice of law a few years after leaving school. He was prominent and active in politics and had a wide circle of friends, all of whom will mourn his untimely end. He was a member of the M. E. Church South, and for several years had shown much interest in church work.
He is survived by a wife and daughter, a brother and two sisters, the latter being Mrs. Kate Shannon, of Louisa and Mr. T. C. Songer, of Ashland.
The following from the Ashland Independent gives correct details as to his death:
Attorney Henry C. Sullivan, one of the best known and most highly respected men in northeastern Kentucky, was found sitting in his chair in his office dead Wednesday evening about five-thirty oclock. His death had occurred not over twenty minutes before, having come as sleep to a tired child, for he had evidently not moved a muscle after laying his head on his arms which were resting on the window sill of his office on the third floor of the Gaylord block, on Greenup and Sixteenth.
Death was due to apoplexy, according to Coroner Swope and the jury, which heard the evidence in the case, adduced at the inquest held his morning at ten oclock.
Three witnesses were examined at the inquest, Mrs. Fannie Harris, the colored janitoress of the Gaylord building, E. E. Seaton, whose office is on the same floor with that of Mr. Sullivan, and Judge S. S. Willis, whose office is on the floor below and who was called into the office of Mr. Sullivan shortly after it was discovered that he was dead. From the testimony of the witnesses it developed that Mr. Sullivan had entered the building about five oclock and had pushed the elevator bell, but after being informed by Mrs. Harris that the elevator boy was not working as it was the Fourth of July and a holiday, Mr. Sullivan walked up stairs to his office where he had taken off his coat, laid it on a desk, but his hat down, and freshly lighted a cigar on another desk, opened his mail and laid a daily paper, which he had not unwrapped, beside it. He had evidently then picked up a small insurance book and started to read the same when he felt suddenly ill and laid his head on his right arm resting the same on the window sill while he rested the left arm across the sill with the hand extending out the window.
When Mrs. Harris went into the room she noticed Mr. Sullivan sitting in his chair with is head on his arm and thinking that perhaps he was not well, she went into the office of Mr. Seaton and told him her fears. Mr. Seaton looked in on Mr. Sullivan and seeing him resting so comfortably did not deem it necessary to speak to him. Mrs. Harris removed the paper basket form Mr. Sullivans office and quietly dusted about the room and then went about her work. While in an office on the fourth floor, Mrs. Harris looked down onto Mr. Sullivans hand and noticed that it was bloodless, hurried to the office of Mr. Seaton and told him that she believed that Mr. Sullivan was dead. Mr. Seaton hurried to the office and as soon as he felt of Mr. Sullivans body he realized that he was dead. Mrs. Harris then called Judge Willis, who in turn called Dr. Layne. Dr. Salisbury was also called and was soon on the scene, as was also Coroner Swope. After a preliminary examination, Coroner Swope had the body removed to the undertaking establishment of Newlove and Mock from where it was taken today to the home of T. C. Songer, 1300 east Winchester Ave.
From the Ashland Independent: The answer to the question, Oh death where is thy sting, oh, grave where is they victory? was most patent last evening to the large number of men, women and children from all walks of life who gathered at the Centenary church to pay a parting tribute to their friend, Henry C. Sullivan, for as they passed by his casket to take a last look at the one they loved and admired, they saw upon his kindly features the look of perfect peace and contentment, showing beyond a doubt that all was well with his soul. And, beside his bier were many, many beautiful floral emblems, bouquets, and loose flowers, silent message of love sent by persons whom he had befriended by act or word.
The church was filled and it was necessary to place chairs in the aisles and to open up the Sunday school room in order that those who attended the funeral services might be seated.
The services were in perfect accord with the life of the deceased, being free from ostentation and outward show of emotion except the tears which flowed silently down the faces of most of those present as they thought of the many acts of kindness which the one they had come together to honor had done for them and others.
Rev. Thornburg, pastor of the church, made a very beautiful and heart-felt prayer to the Ruler of the Universe for His help and strength after which the Rev. Frederick Shannon, pastor of the Reformed Church on the Heights, Brooklyn, N.Y., nephew of Mrs. Sullivan, drew a forceful lesson from the sudden death of his uncle and compared life and death in a very impressive and scholarly manner. He also paid a beautiful tribute to his uncle, during which he spoke of his sincere kindness to all with whom he came in contact, his magnanimity with his fellow man in all ow whom he could see some good, and of his faith in God, which was exemplified in his daily life.
During the services, the Dixon Bros. quartette, accompanied on the piano by Miss Marie Converston sang, Tis Well With My Soul, Jesus Lover of My Soul, and Sweet Bye and Bye.
After the services the remains were conveyed back to the home of Mr. Sullivans sister, Mrs. T. C. Songer, a short distance from the church, from where they were taken this morning to Louisa.
They were the parents of Lucille Sullivan.
