Jno. J. Sullivans
Jno J. Sullivan |
HON. JOHN J. SULLIVAN. Hon. John J. Sullivan,
the senator from the Twenty-third district, composed of the counties
of Trumbull and Mahoning, was born in the city of New York, Oct. 25,
1860. His parents died at an early age and he was taken West
by the Children's Aid Society and adopted when about ten years of
age by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Pelton of Gustavus, Trumbull
county, O. He was raised on a farm in that county and went to
the common schools. He later graduated at the Gustavus
Academy; a famous institution in its time, and taught school
thereafter for about five years. On Oct. 26, 1885, he was
admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court of of Ohio, standing high
in his class. He immediately began the practice of law at
Warren, O., which practice has grown to be lucrative and extensive.
He was elected prosecuting attorney of Trumbull county in 1890 and
was re-elected in 1893, which office he resigned in 1895 upon
receiving the unanimous nomination as senator for the Twenty-third
district of Ohio upon a republican platform. He served with
distinction in the 72nd General Assembly and the 73rd General
Assembly. In the former, by request of ex-Gov. J. B.
Foraker, he placed his name in nomination before the State
Senate for the office of United States Senator from Ohio in a speech
that has been characterized as the most brilliant and able effort
ever delivered in the Ohio Senate, and stamped him throughout Ohio
as an orator without a peer. In the 73rd General Assembly, at
the request of Hon. M. A. Hanna, he presented his name to the
Senate of the state as a candidate for the office of United States
Senator from Ohio, and his speech has been referred to as a model,
unexcelled. He has thus had the distinction, perhaps conferred
upon no other man in the United States, of having placed in
nomination for the high office of United States Senator two
distinguished candidates who were elected to the upper branch of
Congress. In February 9f 1897, at the city of Zanesville, O.,
he received the unanimous nomination for the presidency of the Ohio
Republican League, and held that office for one year. In the
Senate he is a leader, on the sump he is in universal demand, and is
a prominent figure as a delegate to republican party conventions.
He is a Scottish Rite Mason, a Knight of Pythias, an Elk, and Odd
Fellow, a Mystic Shriner and a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. He was married in December of 1887 to Miss Olive S.
Tayler, the daughter of Mathew B. Tayler, a prominent
banker of Warren, O. They have two children, Adaline
and Mary.
