In 1877 they moved to Cass County, Iowa, locating near to what was known as Whitneyville, in Massena township. The following year they moved onto the farm where he passed away, living there almost 37 years. There was four children born to this union, one son and three daughters, all of whom, with his wife, survive him: Miss Anna, living at home, Oren of Bonesteel, South Dakota, Mrs. Myrtle Caddock of Massena township and Mrs. Mary Robinson of Atlantic. There are also five grandchildren. The funeral services were held at the home conducted by James Erskine of Topeka, Kansas, assisted by A. Broadfoot. The text from which Mr. Erskine spoke was "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." (Romans 5:12). He was laid to rest in the Massena Cemetery to await the Resurrection Morn. There survive him beside his wife and four children, three brothers, Charles Sullivan of San Diego, California; Albert Sullivan of Massena township; Mathias Sullivan of Mason city, Illinois; and three sisters, Mrs. Lydia Mullen of New Holland, Illinois; Mrs. Sarah Tomlin of Goshen, New Jersey; and Mrs. Mary Chester of Blakeman, Kansas. Mr. Sullivan was among the older residents of this part of the county and was well liked and respected by all who knew him. He was a kind and loving husband and father and a good neighbor, making the Golden Rule his motto. He will be missed not only by his family, but by the community in which he lived.
