 ANDREW SULLIVAN. Prominent among the old settlers of Forest City where he makes his
home, upon section 36, is the subject of this biographical memoir. He is a native of
County Kerry, Ireland, born in October, 1822. He remained in the beloved land of his
birth until thirty years of age, but growing tired of the oppressed condition of his
country, he determined to seek in the New World the freedom he could not find under
British rule or misrule. June 22, 1852, he embarked at Liverpool, England, whither
he had gone for that purpose, and, after an ocean voyage, landed at Boston, where he
remained some three years. From there he moved to Indiana, but in the spring of 1857
came to Meeker county, and settled on section 25, Forest City township. Some fifteen
or sixteen years later he removed to his present place. He has a fine farm of some
276 acres, much of which is under the plow. He has been accustomed to farm work from
his youth up, and of course thoroughly understands his calling in all respects, and
his place shows it.

  Mr. Sullivan was united in marriage January S, 1857, with Miss Bridget Flynn, a
native of Ireland, who had come to the United States with friends in 1852. The
wedding ceremony was performed in the city of Chicago, where Mr. Sullivan was
employed at the time. By this union there have been born five children — John,
Margaret, Ellen, Mary and Catherine. The last two mentioned are school-teachers, and
all, being still single, are living with their parents, except Mary and Catherine,
whose duties carry them to other places, although their home is beneath the parental
roof.

  Mr. Sullivan is one of the leading agriculturists and stock-raisers of Forest
City, and keeps up a herd of some thirty-five or forty head of good horned cattle
and some nine or ten horses, the latter of which are part Norman blood. In his
political faith he may be classed among the democrats. He and his estimable family
are members of the Roman Catholic Church, attending services at Forest City.
