SHEEHAN, HON. WILLIAM FRANCIS, 16 East Fifty-sixth Street, New York

November 6, 1859. His father, William Sheehan, and his mother, Honora
Crowley, were born in Cork, Ireland. At an early age both came to this
country. He was educated in the public schools and graduated from St.
Joseph’s College, Buffalo. He was admitted to the Bar in 1881, and
practised law in Buffalo for thirteen years. At the same time he was
active in politics, and became the leader of the Democratic party in
Erie County, and in the western part of the State. He was elected a
member of the New York Assembly from Erie County in the year 1884 and
was successively elected in each of the six ensuing years, thus having
had seven years of service in the Assembly, during six years of which
he was Democratic leader. In 1891 he was the Speaker of the Assembly.
In the fall of 1891 he was elected Lieutenant-Governor on the
Democratic State ticket, with Roswell P. Flower as Governor, and was
therefore presiding officer of the Senate for the years 1892, 1893 and
1894. He was the New York representative on the Democratic National
Committee from 1891 to 1896. At the end of his term as
Lieutenant-Governor, Mr. Sheehan removed to New York City and there
engaged in the practice of his profession as senior member of the firm
of Sheehan & Collin. In the fall of 1905 the firm of Sheehan & Collin
was dissolved and Mr. Sheehan joined with former Judge Alton B.

SULLIVAN, JAMES J., attorney at law, Ernest & Cranmer Building,
Denver, Col., was born in Auniscaule, County Kerry, Ireland, March 1,
1875, is the son of John Sullivan and Mary Lynch, and a descendant of
the ancient O’Sullivan clan of the “Kingdom of Kerry.” His father died
in Ireland in 1883, and the following spring his mother brought seven
of her orphaned children to America, settling in Holyoke, Mass., which
is still regarded as the family home. At the age of fourteen, Mr.
Sullivan was compelled to leave school to become a breadwinner on his
own account. Three years later he was enabled to return to school, and
entered the Holyoke High School in 1892, and at the same time began
the study of law in the office of Hon. Christopher T. Callahan of
Holyoke. For the next four years he pursued both his high school and
law courses, graduating from the High school in June, 1896, and was
admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in October of the same year. So far
as now known, this is the first time in the history of Massachusetts
high schools when one of the students was admitted to the practice of
any of the learned professions the same year of graduation. He
immediately formed a partnership with Mr. Callahan, which continued
until January, 1900. A few months prior to this time, Mr. Sullivan had
occasion to visit the Far West, as a result of which he determined to
dissolve his Eastern partnership and move permanently to Colorado with
its vast wealth of undeveloped resources. With no assets except a
willingness to work, he took up the practice of his profession in
Denver in the spring of 1900. He has succeeded in building up an
extensive practice, principally in matters relating to irrigation. Mr.
Sullivan is one of the few young men raised in America who speaks the
Irish tongue fluently. He is a member of several clubs, an
enthusiastic horseman and all-around sportsman; is passionately loyal
to his friends and possesses to a very large degree “that
characteristic Irish pertinacity that never saw night too dark, hour
too late or road too rough to interfere with rendering a favor to a
friend—or a blow to an enemy.”
