General Notes: Husband - Edwin Ruthven Sullivan

---

He graduated from the high school at Zanesville, Ohio, and from Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, Ohio. He spent two years at the Union Theological Seminary, New York City. He next entered the Methodist Theological Seminary at Concord, New Hampshire, (later Boston Theological Seminary) and was graduated with honor. Having thoroughly prepared for the ministry Mr. Sullivan preached the gospel under the authority of the Methodist Episcopal church in Massachusetts and Ohio, but lung trouble accompanied by violent hemorrhages caused him to abandon his chosen profession and seek another line of activity. Mr. Sullivan resided in Zanesville, and as printer, bookseller, and publisher of the Daily Morning Times, was until 1892 a prominent and influential figure in Zanesville. On the date mentioned he removed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Here until the year 1908 Mr. Sullivan was a dealer in investment securities. In 1908 he retired from active business life, but retained his residence in Pittsburgh. Politically Mr. Sullivan was a Republican and an ardent believer in pure politics and pure men in politics. He was chairman of the Municipal League in the fourteenth ward in the first campaign made by the League, against the political bosses of Pittsburgh. The League began a fight against ring rule in Pittsburgh, which accomplished much good for the city. In 1863 while a student at college, Mr. Sullivan entered the service of the Christian Commission. He left college and joined the Union army at Nashville, Tennessee. He returned to school and just before the fall of Richmond, left Union Seminary and joined the Army of the Cumberland in the same service. His Greek fraternity was the Beta Theta Phi, which he joined at Ohio Wesleyan University, at Delaware, Ohio. He was a member of Pittsburgh Chapter Pennsylvania Society Sons of the American Revolution. His church affiliation was with the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh.
