The Pike County Journal. Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, April 4, 1902
Mr. Sullivan Dead

From the Senoia Enterprise Gazette...

Mr. S.G. Sullivan, better known as "Uncle Doc," died this morning about 2 
o’clock, after an illness of several weeks.

Mr. Sullivan moved to Senoia from Pike County about 15 years ago, but during 
this time, on account of old age and bad health, our people have seen very 
little of him, he being compelled to stay at home most of the time. He was 76 
years and 3 months of age, he was born in South Carolina in November 1826. He 
was twice married and leaves two sons by his first wife, Mr. Clark Sullivan, of 
Pike County, and Mr. Will Sullivan, of Texas. He was married to his present 
wife, who was Miss Savannah Carlton, in 1867, and since that time has lived in 
Spalding and Pike counties until about 15 months ago, when he moved to Senoia.

He was a consistent member of the Baptist church at this place and loved his 
church as few people do. In his daily walk and conversation he exemplified the 
Christ which he loved and followed.

All who had the pleasure of knowing him, knew him as an honest upright 
Christian gentleman, who was always ready and willing to help his friends and 
neighbors in time of need.

He leaves a devoted wife to mourn for him. The older people are swiftly passing 
away, and how forcibly does this illustrate the true saying; "The old must 
die," but few there are who are more ready to die than this good old man. As a 
neighbor there were none better.

His remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at this place this afternoon, 
funeral services being conducted by Rev. J.M. Long.
