Spouse: Timothy
Married: 1863
Her maiden name was Cahill, the daughter of John and Mary Purcell Cahill.
GONE TO HER REWARD
Death's Hand Removes Mrs. T. Sullivan, One of Waseca County's Pioneer Women.
Mrs. Timothy Sullivan, after an illness of many months, passed away on Friday afternoon the 4th inst. at the family residence just east of the village.
Some months since Mr. Sullivan went with the deceased to Rochester in hopes that treatment might be effectual and health restored. But at that time it was ascertained that Mrs. Sullivan was suffering from an incurable disease, diabetes, and the only recourse was to make the wife and mother as happy as possible until the end should come.
The maiden name of Mrs. Sullivan was Mary Cahill. She was born in March 1840 in the County of Kilkenny, Ireland. She was passed sixty-one years of age. When seventeen years old, she came with her parents to America, stopping for a brief period at Montreal. From that place they came directly to Minnesota settling on what was at that time wild government land. She was married in 1862 and since that time has not changed her abode, living here and enduring all the hardships incident to pioneer life. Besides her husband she leaves a son, James and a daughter, Mrs. M. W. Keeley and numerous friends and relatives to mourn her loss. She was a sister to Messrs. Thos., Richard, John, Patrick and William Cahill, being the only sister of the five brothers.
Mrs. Sullivan was a devout woman, a commun9icant of the St. Ann's Catholic Church. She was over true to her faith and died as she lived a devoted Christian. During her long residence in this community she held the esteem, respect and affection of all who knew her. Her ways were gentle and kind. She was a good mother and an affectionate and model wife.
The funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at St. Ann's Catholic Church, Rev. Father Ryan officiating. The esteem in which the deceased was held may be noted from the fact that one hundred and ten teams were in the procession which followed the remains to their last resting place in the Janesville Catholic cemetery. It was the largest funeral ever held in this vicinity.
A good woman is gone. Peace to her soul.
