OBITUARY

The many friends of Mrs. Chas. A. Sullivan were greatly shocked this morning when it became known that she had passed away at 8:20 o'clock at her home on West Broadway. While she had been ill for some time, with diabetes, it was only two days ago that she was taken seriously ill and this morning answered the final summons. She had apparently been so well and looked so well that it was hard to believe that she had been fatally stricken.

Sophia E. Perdue was the only daughter of Frank and Emrety Perdue of Ottumwa and was born in Prairie City, Ill., July 3, 1888. In 1897 she came to this city where she has since resided. On November 19, 1908, in this city, she was united in marriage to Charles A. Sullivan, who is left to mourn her loss. Besides her husband and parents she is survived by two brothers, James R. Perdue of Des Moines and Ralph Perdue, of Ottumwa.

She was a member of the Christian church and her whole life was an example of its teachings. She was a woman that was generally liked and she will be sadly missed in her home and elsewhere.
