Iowa: Its History and Its llorenwst Citizens 1849

was one of his notable traits. He would have desired no eulogy, no monument. The place that he leaves vacant in the hearts of his friends is the greatest tribute to him, and one that he would have desired rather than shaft of marble or tablet of bronze."

Hon. John B. Sullivan, who represented Polk county in the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth general assemblies, has been a resident of Des Moines since 1899. His entire life has been passed in Iowa, his birth having occurred in Afton, December 9, 1869. After attending the public schools he became a pupil in St. ~enedict's College at Atchison, Kansas, and in 1891 was graduated from Notre Dame University at Notre Dame, Indiana. He also attended the law college of the University of Iowa at Iowa City and was admitted to practice in 1894.

Immediately afterward he entered upon the active work of his profession, opening and maintaining an office at Creston until 1899, when he sought the broader field of labor offered in the capital city and went to Des Moines, where he has since made his home. Throughout the intervening period he has continued in the practice of law and is now well established as one of the foremost members of the bar. He is regarded as a strong advocate and a safe counselor and the nature of the legal business intrusted to his care places him prominently in the ranks of those who are today regarded as leading lawyers of the capital city. He is vice president of the Valeria ( Ia.) Savings Bank.

His political allegiance is given to the republican party and he has been prominent in political circles. In 1895 he was elected city solicitor of Creston, Iowa, and the following year was chosen by popular suffrage to the office of county attorney of Union county. In 1910 he was elected state senator for the four years' term and represented Polk county in the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth general assemblies, He is an astute political leader, the analytical trend of a lawyer enabling him to readily understand political situations and problems. He has carefully considered the questions which have come up for settlement and has worked ever for the interests of the commonwealth at large rather than for the minority.

FRED W. HILL.

The Hamburg Rep_0rter, published at Hamburg, Fremont county, is an excellent weekly paper and e:x:erts a large influence in shaping public opinion in that part of the state. Its owner and editor, Fred W. Hill, was born in Grand Junction, Iowa, in 1882, a son of Enoch Hill, who removed to this state in 1881 from Ohio. He. is a native of England and is a highly educated man. He first followed the profession of a mining engineer but after assisting several young men to educate themselves for the ministry he became a Methodist preacher and since 18.88 has been a member of the Des Moines conference. He has filled many pulpits and has been the means of greatly forwarding the cause of Christianity in the communities in

which he has lived.

1618 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, By the Senate of the Forty-second General Assembly of Iowa, that in the death of John Alexander McKlveen the state and community where he lived have suffered the loss of an influential and honorable citizen; and

Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the Journal of the Senate and that the secretary be directed to send an engrossed copy thereof to the family of the deceased.

Senator Dotts spoke as follows:

A. G. DOTTS, W. E. McLELAND, E. E. CAVANAUGH,

Committee.

MR. PRESIDENT: It was- never my privilege to have met er had any acquaintance with Senator J. A. McKlveen, but having the acquaintance of a number of friends of his, I have learned that he was one of the most respected citizens of Lucas county and the community in which he lived. Having located in Chariton in 1865, he was one of the pioneer physicians in that city, engaged in a very successful practice of his chosen profession, v.nd holding the confidence of all with whom he came in contact.

His large financial interests gave him a large acquaintance wherever those interests were located and all seemed ~o hold for him the highest regard.

He was active in all civic affairs of the county in which he lived and in his death the community loses an active citizen and the state i valuable servant.

The resolution was unanimouc;ly adopted by a rising vote.

John B. Sullivan was born at Afton, Iowa, December 9th, 1869, one of. the younger children of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Sullivan. At nine years of age he entered St. Benedict's College at Atchison, Kansas~ where he remained until his studies were sufficiently advanced to permit him to enter the Afton High School. After completing the prescribed course at the Afton High School, he matriculated at the University 'of Notre Dame; South Bend, Indiana, where he enrolled in the College of Atts and Letters. During his four years at Notre Dame, Mr. Sullivan took an active interest in debating and public speaking, representing the .University in confe~ts with the other universities and colleges in that section of t~~. country. He was also connected, in the capacity of editor, with th~ University publication, "Scholastic," writing editorials an.d some fiction and dramatic criticism. · ·

G;~aduating from the Uni\•ersity with a B. Litt. degree in 1891, entered the State University of Iowa in the fall of the same year pursued his studies in the Law Course. · Having graduated and ""'""'""'' the state bar requirements he returned to Creston, to which place h

while he was in the University. Shortly after his he was elected City Solicitor, a position which he filled with credit

promise, and was rewarded for his application and zeal in that by election to the position of:¢oUrnty; attorney of Union county. In of 1896 he was united in mar~i:kge to -cecelia Norton, the daughter

Bridget Norton, of Creston, to which union there was born one child, a son, Norton Sullivan. .

At the close of his term as county attorney, Mr. Sullivan .moved to Des Moines and commenced the prlf~tice qf law in that city. He was later joined by Jerry B. Sullivan, and the firm of SuHivan and Sullivan, which had heretofore existed in Ct'eston,·~composed of E. F. Sullivan, John B. Sullivan and Jerry- B, SuWy:~Il •. ,becam,e recognized as a Des Moines firm, and so continued unti\ the.~d¢ath of John B. Sullivan, at his home September 21, 1925. . ,,

John B. Sullivan was generous of his-time and talent in the service of the public. He was zealous in attention and application to the problems of civic interest, conscious of his duty as a citizen to the state and the nation, and ardent in his political affiliations because his allegiance was to principles rather than men.

Mr. Sullivan's death, which followed ,a· general decline in health extending over a period of more than two;·y~ars, was in a great measure due to the fact that the strain and responsibility of holding public office and at the same t~me actively practicing his chosen profession, exhausted. his reserve strength to a degree that he was unable to overcome the effects of a nervous breakdown. Mr. Sullivan served both in the House and the Senate at a time when legislation of the greatest import to the state was being considered and upon the board of education when the foundation was commenced for the present comprehensive program of building,

Mr. Sullivan was deeply conscious to the three great duties of a citizen, devotion to country, church and home, and he was unfailing in heeding the call to duty. He recognized the sacredness of loyalty to his friends and in return enjoyed the blessings of the good wishes and comradeship of his fellow men. He was temperate in his estimate of thos.e who differed from him in any opinion, he was conservative in forming and expressing his judgments and steadfast· in maintaining those which he had formed and believed to be right and for the common good. In the highest sense and meaning of the words he was a Christian gentleman, kindly, courteous, modest and gentle.

''He was a profoundly spiritual man, beautifully tolerant of the inner life of other men, his own radiant mind lit up with the light of faith, his own generous heart warmed by the fire of hope, his own noble spirit mellowed by the rich liquor of charity."

"A man whose life glided on like the rivers that water the woodlands,

Darkened by the shadows of earth but reflecting an image of heaven."

Whereas, His standing· as a man, citizen and legislator has been of the highest character, therefore .

Be It Resolved, That the Senate take this occasion to express its highest


1620 ,JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

appreciation of the :;plendid character, hone~t public ~erviee and adopt this memorial in the name of the people of the state of Iowa.

Also, Be It Further Resoll'ed, That this resolution be spread upon the record of the Senate and that the same be engrossed and that an engrossed copy thereof be sent to the family of the deceased.

J. R. FRAILEY,
