General Notes: Husband - Charles C. Sullivan
His opportunities for graded instruction were few, and although he attended the common schools, the greater part of his sound and thorough education was the result of solitary study in paths where he found no direction other than that of his own judgment and taste. To such good effect did he direct his efforts that when he was seventeen years of age he was competent to fill a schoolteacher's position, which he did for five years. It had been his father's intention to have him follow the occupation of farmer, but with this proposition the son found severe fault, the father wisely allowing him to engage in the occupations more to his liking and into which he might put then best of his labors, which he would have been unable to do had he been compelled to become an agriculturist. When he was twenty-two years of age he went to the oil fields of West Virginia and was there located for six years, contracting for the sinking of oil wells. In 1870 he associated with William Riddle in the establishment of a general store at Prospect, a partnership that continued for five years, dissolved to be renewed four years later. During these four years Mr. Sullivan was proprietor of a shoe store in Greece City, Pennsylvania, his new connection with Mr. Riddle extending over a period of three years. He was then engaged in the mercantile business independently in Prospect for eight years, in 1887 came to Beaver Falls, conducting real estate dealings for three years, that term representing the only time since his departure from the oil fields, in 1870, until his death, when he was not actively engaged in the mercantile business. His place of business in Beaver Falls was in a double store building that he erected at No. 1830-32 Seventh avenue, his line being general dry goods and gentlemen's furnishings.
His political creed was Republican, and he belonged to the Masonic order, his wife affiliating with the Methodist Protestant church.
