Jack Sully is first heard of in this county when he was elected sheriff 
under the Lamonte organization in the early sixties. He roved up and down 
the river but his chief place of abode appears to have been at the mouth 
of Platte creek, near Drappeau, his father-in-law. His first marriage is 
said to have been to a Norwegian girl at White Swan, Judge Foster T. Wheeler 
performing the ceremony, but his wife left him within the week. He next married 
Drappeau's half-blood daughter, who died. He then married the widow of John 
Kinkaid, also Drappeau's daughter, with whom he removed to Sully's Flat in 
Gregory county where he was shot a few years ago. Sully was a notorious 
character of whom much has been written, and who has been charged with 
numerous crimes, the greater number of which are probably fictitous.
