Patrick Angus Sullivan
The Son of Former Residents Died in Minneapolis
Word was received in Estherville last week of the death at Minneapolis of Patrick Angus Sullivan, little son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Sullivan of Mandan, North Dakota on Wednesday, April 7 of pneumonia. The Sullivan family is well known in Estherville, this having been their home for many years, and the news of the sudden death of their little son brought them the sympathy of their many friends.

Patrick Angus was born on December 16, 1918, and died on April 7, 1920, being fifteen months and twenty-one days old when called to the better land. While every aide was given that love could devise, the dread disease could not be conquered and the fond parents were compelled to bow to the will of God.

The little body was brought here to the Catholic Church on Friday, April 9. The many floral offerings sent by friends showed the love and esteem in which the family are held in this city. The little one was laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery. (Estherville Democrat, Estherville, IA, April 14, 1920)
