Philip Sullivan
Philip Sullivan, 77, died December 18 in a Butte, Mont., hos
pital H< was a member of one of O’Neill’s earliest families,
taught in rural schools near here for several years, ventured to
Butte where he rose from a laborer to cashier in the general
office of the Anaconda Copper Mining Co.
It is a singular tribute nowadays when a metropolitan news
paper diverts from the pressing world affairs to eulogize and
editorialize in a highly complimentary manner about a man after
The Frontier is pleased to reproduce below an editorial en
titled “Philip Sullivan” that appeared in the Thursday, December
22. issue of the Montana Standard, published at Butte:
"It’s not far-fetched statement for one to declare that Philip
Sullivan was a man entirely without the great or small short
comings that beset most of us. The testimony of his hundreds of
friends from three generations constitutes the proof. This splen
did citizen, who was laid to rest in Butte yesterday, was verily
the possessor of all the human qualities that can place a man in
the highest esteem with everyone privileged to know him
"Mr. Sullivan came to Anaconda in 1895, the first of five
brothers who were to become ’widely known in Montana. He
started as a laborer in the old Reduction works and by 1917 he
was cashier of the general office in Butte of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, a position he held until his death.
"Happily, Phil Sullivan’s countless friends continually rec
ognized his inestimable worth during his lifetime. A day seldom
went by that friends did not comment on the greatness of char
acter or of some good deed of his.
“Mr. Sullivan’s longtime friend, Kenneth B. Frazer, assistant
secretary and assistant treasurer of the Anaconda company, ex
pressed the superb estimate of Mr. Sullivan, following the latter s
death Sunday. He said:
“ ‘He left a heritage in the hearts and memories of his many
friends that will live forever. He was deeply religious, had ex
emplary habits, was generous—to a fault, charitable, honest
frank and always tolerant of others’ faults. If he could not speak
well of a person he kept still.’

The 1949 automobile death toll on Holt county highways stood
at an all-time high. Sudden death of two Holt men in a car-truck
collision recently boosted Holt's 1949 highway fatalities to
eight—nearly three times the toll of any other county in the 19
county Norfolk district. Holt may have nearly three times as
much road mileage but it certainly doesn’t have three times as
much highway traffic. What is wrong?
