            Timothy Sullivan is a native of Ireland, born in 1840.  He came to 
America in 1860, sojourning for a year in Toronto, Canada.  He next went to La 
Porte, Indiana, where he remained for eight years, coming to California in 1868. 
 On arriving at Colusa he hired out for a month in the livery stable of 
Patterson & Rust, but worked there sixteen years.  In 1883 he entered the livery 
stable business for himself, but met with a reverse in the destruction of his 
stables by fire in the fall of 1886.  But �Tim,� as he is usually called, had 
friends and a fine run of custom, and, averse to leaving these, he immediately 
started in to rebuild a large fire-proof stable, and has continued therein ever 
since. 
            Mr. Sullivan was married to Miss B. Coily, and is the father of 
seven children.
