For some time he has been in poor health, the family and friends held out hope till the last that he might recover.

Three years of this time he served as mayor of Mercedes, Texas. Later he and his estimable family returned to Minden and has since made this their home.
He is survived by his devoted wife and seven children, whose hearts are crushed over the loss of one so dear and precious to them. The sons and daughters that survive him are: Byron Sullivan of Shreveport, Lee Sullivan; Mrs. Chris Lunsford (nee Miss Edna Sullivan); Misses Jessie Mae and Alma Sullivan, and Elroy and Howard Sullivan.
The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the family in this hour of sadness.
