53 years old, one of the prominent mining operators in the Miami lead and zinc district, died Thursday morning at the Miami Baptist hospital following an operation for gall stones and appendicitis. The operation was performed Tuesday morning. Following the operation, Mr. Sullivan's heart became weak, but he improved during the day. At 7 o'clock this morning he suffered another attack which proved fatal and he died a short time later. Mr. Sullivan was superintendent of the Farmington Mining Company and had been in the Miami district for about three and one-half years. Before coming to Miami to establish his home, he lived at Marionville Missouri, where he was superintendent of water and lights. Previous to this he had been active in Missouri mining fields. Mr. Sullivan is survived by his wife, and two sons, Lloyd Sullivan and Cecil Sullivan, who live here. A brother, Sam Sullivan, a well known operator in the Miami field, also survives.
