The death of Robert, the twenty year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Tim Sullivan occurred at the family residence near McKnight’s springs on Tuesday evening at quarter of nine o’clock, and a life of unusual promise was brought to a peaceful close.

His bereaved parents who have been called upon to give up their beloved son in whom their hopes were centered, have the sympathy of a host of friends in their hour of sorrow. Besides his parents Robert is survived by one sister Amy, and three brothers, Will, Frank and Clarence. The funeral will be held on Thursday morning at nine o’clock from the family residence to St. Patrick’s Church, and interment will be made at Mt. Olivet.
