Honora Sullivan
The Townsend Star July 26,1902
July 19, 1902 Grandma Sullivan passed to her eternal reward this Friday morning at 8:10 o’clock. The funeral will start from the house on Sunday morning at 10: o’clock and will be continued at the Canton Church at 11:00 o’clock. The burial will take place in the catholic cemetery in the valley. Relatives are expected from Helena, Butte, Shelby and elsewhere. It has been said that “Death is the final scene of human life, weather in mid-ocean or among the breakers of the further shore. A wreck at last must mark the end of each and all.”
While this may be true of the material life, yet there and ever has been, those to whom the visitation of the silent messenger whose summons none can disobey, is but the removal from personal companionship with those they love, and the fragrant memory of their lives and deeds, is an irresistible incentive to those who linger behind, to press on to accomplish that which was upper most in the mind and heart of the departed.
We offer tribute of love and respect today to one who for many long years traveled the pathway of life, side by side with those whom providence willed should lay the last wreath of flowers and gently plant the verdant sod which forms a symmetrical pyramid to her memory.
Grandma Sullivan was born in Bear Haven County, Cork, Ireland, on July 16, 1820, was married June 3, 1845 to Michael Sullivan in Cambridge, Mass. Moved west to Wisconsin where they resided for twelve years, then came to Montana passing through the great city of Chicago when it boasted of but one hotel and that situated in a quag-mire.
They arrived in Virginia City, Montana in 1865, after a long and tiresome journey across the plains of seven months duration. One month later they came to Diamond City. From Diamond they moved to the round Grove Ranch near Canton, then to the old home ranch where they resided continually until they moved to Townsend.
Mrs. Sullivan possessed a character as near perfect as human kind ever inherits or cultivates. In her long residence in this valley, none speak of her but in praises, both for her kindly disposition and desire to assist those in distress.
She was a firm and faithful member of the Catholic Church and died in full fellowship.
Her life had hung in a balance for many weeks and when the last ember finally flickered out and all realized the end had come and mourned in consequence thereof, yet they knew it was best thus. Mrs. Sullivan leaves a husband, four children, twenty-nine grandchildren and eight great grandchildren to mourn her loss....
