Unknown newspaper
MRS. MARY ANN SULLIVAN
On June 18, 1947 the Mission Home neighborhood was greatly shocked at the sudden
death of Mrs. Mary Ann Sullivan. A host of relatives and friends gathered at the
beautiful Episcopal Church at Mission Home on June 21 to pay tribute and mourn
her passing. The tears of many and saddened faces gave the evidence that a dear
friend and a dear Mother would be missed. The Minister in charge compared her
life with the saying of St. Paul, "I have fought a good fight, I have kept the
faith, I have finished my course." While waiting for the service one could hear
such remarks as these voiced by her neighbors; "Mary Ann vas a good woman,
neighbor and friend and will be greatly missed. She was like a Mother to many
besides her own . . . . " She was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Austin
Morris, born December 2, 1878, and was married to J. C. Sullivan. To this union
four children were born, namely Evelyn of Mission Home, Tom of Hershey, PA,
Clark and Bill of Waynesboro. After the death of her first husband she married
Manis Sullivan. There were four children Vivian, Ralph, and Willie of Herndon
and Clyde of Baltimore. Four brothers and four sisters also survive; Lev and Sel
Morris of Dyke, Myrt Morris of Somerset and Columbus of Philadelphia; Mrs. Julia
Gilmer of Washington, Mrs. Altie Pirkey of Arlington, Mrs. Evelyn Collier of
Herndon and Mrs. Mabel Rice of Baltimore; 16 grandchildren and three
great-grandchildren. At the completion of the service at the church the funeral
procession left winding its way down the little mountain to the opposite ridge
where the body was committed to "God's gracious mercy and protection" in the
family plot. The quiet-spoken crowd stood patiently around the small cemetery by
the roadside edge of a pasture west of her home to which she was greatly
devoted. To each side and behind the grave were the formal tributes bearing the
simple wordings as "Sister" and "Mother". On a beautiful hillside, under sprays
of chrysanthemums and other flowers with the Blue Ridge in the background,
sleeps the tired mother, sister and friend, Mrs. Mary Ann Sullivan, whose life
will remain a cherished memory for years to come. "To live in the hearts of
those left behind is not to die."

WALTER SULLIVAN
Boonesville Man Dies Of Wounds
Gun He Used As Club Discharges, Hits Him
A 59-year-old Boonesville farmer died last night of gunshot wounds suffered when
a gun he was using to strike his son-in-law accidentally discharged into his own
stomach. Walter Sullivan died near Owensville as his daughter's husband Gilmer
Walton, 33, rushed him to the hospital. Walton was treated at the University
Hospital for scalp lacerations suffered when he was struck with the gun. Sheriff
W. S. Cook said the beating followed an argument between the two men at Walton's
home South of Boonesville. Cook said the death would be listed as accidental and
no charges brought in the case. Sullivan and Walton spent yesterday hauling hay,
he said, and went to their homes about a city block apart, for dinner about 7 p.
m. Cook said the men were noted for getting along very well and never having
"cross words between them." After dinner Walton took out a new double-barreled
shotgun, which he was trying to fix so that it would eject empty shells
properly. After he cleaned it and worked on it, he went out of his house, fired
the gun twice into the air, then went back inside. Cook said Sullivan heard the
shots and came to the Walton home, asking, "What's the trouble here?" The men
started arguing and Sullivan grabbed the gun Walton had been working on. The
younger man said he was struck twice and fled from the house. As he got outside,
he heard the gun go off in the home. He returned and found his father-in-law on
the floor with the gun beside him. He told the sheriff he never struck at
Sullivan during the argument. Cook said the stock apparently was broken off the
gun when Walton was hit. Only the firing mechanism and barrels were intact he
said. Both barrels fired and the charges caught Sullivan in the Stomach.
Sullivan was still conscious when his wife rushed to the scene. "Mother, I've
shot myself," she said he told her. Funeral services for him will be held at 2
p. m. Monday from the Gentry Methodist Church, near Boonesville, with interment
in the church cemetery. The Rev. Philip Gresham, rector of Mission Home
Episcopal Church, will officiate. Sullivan is survived by his wife, the former
Louemma Powell, of Albemarle, two daughters, Mrs. Walton, and Miss Blanch
Sullivan of Boonesville, a son, N. N. Sullivan USN, stationed at Green Cove
Springs, Fla., and a half-sister, Mrs. Fannie Huffman, of Boonesville.
