Raymond Independent July 7, 1910

FELL DEAD
Mr. Patrick Sullivan, one of Raymond's oldest and most 
respected residents, fell over dead while eating his dinner 
Wednesday about twelve-thirty p.m. at this home in southwest 
part of town. 

He and his wife and son; Tom and family (of St. Louis, who 
have been visiting here since the 4th) were all at the dinner 
table and "Uncle Pat" seemed in good spirits, when all at 
once he coughed slightly and fell over dead.

Drs. Seymour and Mercer were immediately called and 
pronounced his sudden death due to heart trouble for which 
he had been doctoring for some time.

As yet the funeral arrangements have not been made. Will 
give full particulars next week.
