Clarke Publishing Company GEORGE TIMOTHY O'SULLIVAN. Though a comparatively recent addition to the ranks of the medical fraternity in Portland, Dr. George T. O'Sullivan has given unmistakable evidence of his learning, skill and efficiency as a physician and is building up a splendid practice. He was born in Redwood City, California, on the 4th day of July, 1891, and is a son of Timothy and Mary Dolores (Martinez) O'Sullivan. The former died in 1906 and the latter in 1918. His father was a member of the San Francisco fire department and while in the performance of duty during the great earthquake and fire of April, 1906, met with injuries, from the effects of which he died. The mother was a member of the noted old Spanish family of Martinez, which held large tracts of land in San Mateo county, California, under one of the old Spanish grants. Dr. O'Sullivan received his preliminary education in St. Patricks Seminary in San Francisco, after which he matriculated in the College of Physicians and Surgeons there and was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1918. He served his interneship in the U. S. Letterman Hospital in San Francisco, and also took a postgraduate course in that city. He attended Fordham University, New York city, from which he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and later did postgraduate medical work in the Northwest College of Physical Therapy. He then became connected with the United States public health and veterans' bureau, with which he was identified for ten years, and in 1926 went to Bellingham, Washington, where he engaged in the practice of his profession for one year. In 1927 he came to Portland and opened an office in the Woodlark building and is gaining a flattering reputation as a capable and reliable physician. Dr. O'Sullivan was united in marriage to Miss Ulrica Sahlberg, who was born and educated in Redwood City, California and also graduated from the Teachers' College in San Francisco. To them have been born three children, namely: Donald George, eleven years old, Anne Ulrica, eight years old, and Eugene Ed, aged four years. Dr. O'Sullivan is a member of the American Legion and the American Radiological Society. He is a veteran of the World war, in which he was commissioned a first lieutenant and served as adjutant at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, until the close of the war, when he was honorably discharged. In his profession he has observed the highest medical ethics, has exemplified a splendid type of citizenship in his private life and possesses to a marked degree those qualities which characterize the true gentleman, so that throughout the circle of his acquaintance he commands confidence and respect.
