SULLIVAN, Thomas H.

Arizona Daily Miner Journal, Prescott, Arizona Territory Friday, June 24, 1910, page 8, column 2 Pioneer Called by Great Reaper Thos. H. Sullivan Dies At The County Hospital He Was Engaged In Indian Wars In The West Seized with a violent hemorrhage of the lungs a few days ago, Thomas H. Sullivan passed away yesterday morning at the county hospital. For several months he has been suffering from a general break down in health, and was taken to the above institution a short time ago. His death removes a man with a good record in his earlier life, serving in the 4th U.S. cavalry in all the important campaigns against the Indians in the West, from the Sioux on the north to the Apache on the south. As a soldier he bears an honorable record, and man are alive today who will recall his valor on many occasions against the hostile savages. He had been a resident of this section for over 20 years, coming from Utah. In the above state he was rated as quite wealthy at one time, and was the superintendent of many mines. About 15 years ago he unfortunately became involved with Frank Spence, and by the latter was shot in the head, without provocation, it is said. From that wound he became afflicted with mental hallucinations, at times overjoyed in his demeanor and then would be seized with the most pitiable melancholy. A strange coincidence with his death is linked to the fate that overshadows his assailant, Frank Spence, who also was sentenced to his doom on the day that took his victim away from his earthly career. Mr. Sullivan was a native of Lynn, Mass., and was about 66 years of age. His remains are at Ruffner's and will be buried today. In the early life of the deceased he was known to many for his open generosity, and those conversant with this good trait in his life will regret to learn that he has passed away.
