   James Sullivan, grocer, Veedersburg, the subject of this sketch, is a native
of Maine, born in 1852. His parents, Patrick and Mary Sullivan, both of whom
were natives of Ireland, emigrated to America in 1850, locating in Maine. James
Sullivan received no education outside the district school. He came to
Veedersburg in 1872, among the first business men who located here, and began
the grocery business, where he has since remained, building up a good trade as
the business of the town increased. He was married in 1878, to Kate Ragon, by
whom he has one child, John F. He and his wife are members of the Roman Catholic
church. He is a member of the St. Joseph Society. Mr. Sullivan made his own
beginning in business life through his own energy and tact.
