Edward J. Sullivan

Edward John Sullivan was born in Malden, Mass., on April 6, 1890. He was the son of Denis and Hannah (O'Keefe) Sullivan, both born in Ireland, and brother of Denis, Charles (Co. L, 101st Inf.), Leo (Btry D., 58th Field Arty.), Mary, Florence, and Helen. He married Lillian M. Fairbanks. In 1917, he lived at 54 Green St. in Malden, and was a manager at the ACPT Co. in Malden. He claimed exemption from the draft on account of his being the supporter of his family.
Sullivan enlisted July 9, 1918, and was sent to the Syracuse Recruit Camp in New York, which was used for organization of new units and as a center for "limited-service" men, who were soldiers who were not qualified for full duty for whatever reason. He died there, September, 1918, of disease.
