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.
