Sullivan (N. B.) — Continued. 



N. B. Sullivan was born in the southern part 

 of the Creek Nation, Ind. T. in 1858, and being 

 left niotherloss in infancy, was taken caro of 

 by an aunt until her death, and later he lived 

 with a cousin. 



At the ago of seventeen, having had only 

 enough of school advantages to give him a 

 thirst for more, and with only discour.agement 

 from friends, he determined to enter a boarding- 

 school. Sotting otT on horsoback, he applied 

 first at the Asbury school, and, finding himself 

 too late, returned for a fresh horse and went 

 forty miles farther to the Tullaliasseo school, 

 where he was .admitted. Ilis progress there 

 was remarkable, as was his gentlemanly and 

 upright deportment. 



ni-i father had married again and died, .and 

 his stepmother needing his care, he gave up 

 the next school year for her. But her death re- 

 leased him and he returned to school in 1877, 

 and from that time had a home with his teachers, 

 earning money for clothing in his vacation by 

 working— a good deal of the time helping mo in 

 my Creek work. Quo of those vacations ho 

 spent mostly as assistant to the postmaster at 

 Muscogee, making many friends. 



Just before the burning of the TuUahassoe 

 building, an otfer came from a society in Phila- 

 delphia to educate him, which he accepted, with 

 the ministry in view, having previously united 

 with the Presbyterian Church. He fitted for 

 college at Blair Academy, Blairstown, N. J. 

 and was examined and .accepted for Princeton 

 College, but an att.ack of pneumonia (brought 

 on by ahorse-back ride after aphysici.an in a 

 bitter night) h.ad laid the foundation for con- 

 sumption, and college had to be given up. 



He returned to the Indian Territory and 

 again worked witli mo on the Creek Testament, 

 persevering in the midst of suffering until all 

 of the Testament not previously in print had 

 boon gone over. 



A winter in Color.ado .and New Mexico g.ave 

 renewed strenglli, to some extent, .and ho 

 worked, first in Council .and next in theNuy.aka 

 Tuission school, until failing strength ag.ain 

 warned him aw.iy, and after a winter of great 

 suffering he died at Albuquerque, N. M., March 

 8, 188j, niournod by many fiioiids, especially 

 his teachers and the society to whom he had so 

 greatly endeared himself.— Jfc«. Robertson.
