Frank Sullivan turns 98
• Frank Sullivan of- Ashfield Township
celebrated his 98th birthday on July 25
with a pot luck dinner at St. Joseph's
Catholic Church in Kingsbridge. •
The celebration was • organized by Joe
and Teresa Courtney.
•The Sullivan's• represented some of this
ares first settlers when Frank's great
grandfather, Jeremiah Sullivan, his grand-
father Thomas and wife Mary(Reynolds)
Sullivan and their two children Jerry and
Mary left County Kerry, Ireland and
landed at Syracuse, New York. Later they
• moved on and settled at what is now called
Kingsbridge.
When Mrs,. Thomas Sullivan died,
Thomas later married Catherine Reardon.
They had four children 1, Johanna 2,
Catherine 3, Patrick and 4, John E.
Prank was born on July 25, 1888 to John
E. and Catherine (Finn) Sullivan, the sixth
child of a family of eight (4 sons and 4
daughters). They were Thernas, Patrick,
John, Mary (Minnie), Catherine (Gig),
Frank, Annie and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Frank
is the last surviving member of this family
and the last Sullivan at Kingsbridge:
Frank chose to remain a bachelor and
lived on the farm where he was born for
many years with the exception of a few
winter's stay at Marian Villa, a Senior
Citizen's home in London, Ontario, and a
short time in Detroit where he worked at
manual labour. •
Frank retired several - years ago from
farming. He liked 'to paint and cook, He •
cooked his own meals and helped with the .
meals for neighbour threshing gangs.
He has been residing this past year at
the Country Road Lodge, owned and
operated by Donald and Dorothy Farrish,
°concession - 12, Ashfield Township. -
Frank's not sure what he owes his
longevity to but friends say "it's because
. he liked to walk" (there were no cars when
he was younger). He never owned or has
driven a car but accepted many rides.
His mottos were "Always • be prepared,
be early to rise, eat regular healthy meals
and get lots of exercise". At 98 Frank's
keen memory is still quite'. good, and his
• quick step still beats many only ,half• hiS
age. .
