SULLIVAN, Raymond   1935

Portland Observer – Thursday, 14 February 1935

Residents of Portland and vicinity were greatly shocked Tuesday when word of 
the passing of Raymond Sullivan was flashed about town, his death occurring at 
5:45 this morning.  Funeral services will be held at St. Patrick church Friday 
morning, in charge of Rev. Fr. John M. Rockford.  Burial will be made in the 
Portland Cemetery.

Mr. Sullivan was born on a farm near Collins 34 years ago, where he spent his 
boyhood.  In 1919 he entered the Maynard Allen State Bank as assistant 
bookkeeper where, for the past several years, he had served that institution 
as assistant cashier.

On March 4, 1924, he was united in marriage to Nettie Ball.  To this union 
three children were born, James, Gerald and Elizabeth, all of whom, with the 
wife, survive.  Raymond is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth 
Sullivan, and two brothers, Roger and Ronald, all of Portland.  His father 
Edward Sullivan died three years ago.

Apparently in the best of health until last fall, he then complained of pain 
about the upper part of his body.  On November 14 he was taken to St. Lawrence 
hospital in Lansing where, in an operation performed the following day, a 
cancerous and tubercular condition of the glands was found to exist.  He was 
brought home and on the advice of specialists went to Harper hospital, 
Detroit, where x-ray treatments were administered in the hopes of saving his 
life.  These treatments, however, proved unavailing and on his return home his 
condition gradually grew worse until the end came peacefully Tuesday morning.
