Carl Lavan Sullivan
The Arcadian - 17 June 1948
Carl Lavan Sullivan, a Desoto County resident all his life, died this week at the Arcadia General Hospital following a lingering illness. He was 51.
Mr. Sullivan, a veteran of WWI, resided on East Gibson Street and was a farmer by occupation.
Surviving are: his wife, Mrs. C. L. Sullivan; three sons, Donald Wayne and Gilbert; his mother, Mrs. Mary Sullivan; six brothers, Braid H., John, Walter, George, and Connally Sullivan, all of Arcadia; J. R. Sullivan of Fort Pierce; four sisters, Mrs. Pearl Bass and Mrs. Emma Jones of Arcadia; Mrs. J. W. McDuffie of Bartow; Mrs. Myrtle Wadsworth of Lakeland....



In it they list as one of his sisters Mrs. Emma Jones of Arcadia. My grandfather, Nathan F. Jones, of Okeechobee family came from Arcadia in the early 1900's. His father was Nathan D. Jones married to a Emma S. Jones. I'm wondering if Emma's maiden name was Sullivan? Hope you can get me started on the Emma S. Jones line.

Thanks Orin

I am afraid this is not the correct Emma Jones. She was a Sullivan and married a Jones but don't think she is your Emma because:
1. This Emma was born 2 May 1902 and died 1 June 2002 and is buried in Joshua Creek Cemetery.
2. She appears on 1920 census as a 17 year old living with parents in Arcadia.

If anyone knows Mr. Jones' name, I would like it. I am showing as Unknown Jones!

Thank you for your reply.

I did find this regarding my EMMA. I'm back at square one regarding Emma's maiden name.
