Notes

General:

From Howard Morry article in Evening Telegram -- Memories of Ferryland -- Feb. 23, 1967: "Richard Sullivan's son, Jim (my mother's first cousin) went out to British Columbia and joined the early Northwest Mounted Police. He deserted, ran away to the United States, joined the American army, and fought in the Philippines in the Spanish-American War. Eventually, he came back to Ferryland and married a Slaney (their children all died of diphtheria). He told me that when his grandfather's estate was settled up in Dublin, Ireland, a huge packing case was sent out to his father at Ferryland. After lying some time in a waterside store in St. John's, it was brought to Ferryland on the deck of a small western boat. When the huge case came off the boat onto Carter's wharf in Ferryland, there was no cart big enough for it, so it was decided to open it on the wharf. Richard's father in Ireland had been a draper, and Richard got his share of the store stock. Out of the case came all sorts of things, among them some dozens of silk hats. Richard gave the hats away to Ferryland people. Some cut the hats down to about four inches high, and re-sewed the tops on. Others cut the brims off, and wore them with just the high crowns. Others cut only the sides of the brims off,leaving the front and back parts on; these were christened "fore-and-afters". Jim told me he well remembered being on the squid-jigging ground as a boy and seeing a dozen or more silk hats around in the punts, with jiggers stuck all around them."

111208 from Newfoundland's Grand Banks website (source unknown, but compiled by Daniel Breen): "Pte? J. James Sullivan, born Ferryland , July 1866, son of Richard Sullivan and Mary Healey. According to family lore, Jim went to the US, joined the US Army, and served in the Spanish American War. He returned to Ferryland, then went back to the US again, married there, but later returned home to Ferryland. Died 13 Mar 1951 in St. John's, Newfoundland. Buried in the Ferryland RC Cemetery."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

140919:

His service record in the North West Mounted Police shows that he was brought up on charges several times for minor offences such as drunkness, fighting and sleeping on the job but was finally dismissed on a charge of larceny for stealing another constable's sheets.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
050722:
There is a discrepancy between his date of death as given to me by Richard and Roberta Sullivan (March 13, 1951) and that found in Dad Morry's diaries (March 12 1951). Since Dad Morry could not have recorded the event a day before it happened, I am substituting his information for theirs, which was not supported with an original record.
