M. L. SULLIVANT. ( DECEASED.)
M. L. SULLIVANT.
M. L. Sullivant, second son of Lucas and Sarah (Starling) Sul - livant, was born in Franklinton, now West Columbus, Ohio, Au- gust 6, 1877. His parents were Virginians, who, residing a short time in Kentucky, removed to Ohio, and were prominent in the early settlement of Franklin County. In 1838, Lucas Sullivant died, leaving a very large estate, to be divided among his three sons.
Michael L. Sullivant was educated at Ohio University, and Centre College, Ky. At an early age he manifested a great pref- erence for rural affairs, and after completing his education, set- tled upon the fine estate he had inherited at Columbus, Ohio, and became a stock-grower and grazer. He was one of the originators of the Ohio Stock Importing Company; also one of the movers in organizing the Ohio State Board of Agriculture; was twice its President, and as long as he resided in Ohio) was sotive in pro- moting its agricultural interests.
In October, 1859, Mr. Sullivant first visited Illinois, and at once appreciating the value of its rich prairie landa, pur- chased within a period of three or four years, about 20,000 acres, located principally in what are now the counties of Cham- paign, Ford and Livingston. In 1855, he began his first improve- ment in Illinois at Broadlands, Champaign County, and to this place removed his family from Columbus, Ohio, in April, 1861. Meeting with reverses, he sold the remainder of his property in Ohio, and in 1866 the farm at Broadlands, containing 38.000 acres, and retired to his larger estate of Burr Oaks in Ford County, con- taining 40,000 acres in the spring of 1867.
After some preliminary improvements that year, he began work in 1868, with 1,000 acres of corn. The year following 5,000 were planted, and the acreage was yearly increased until in 1879, he had under cultivation 18,000 acres of corn, besides extensive fields of oats and hay. At this time, much other work had been done- $50 miles of Osage Orange hedge had been set out and cultivated, over 100 miles of ditching done, extensive farm buildings and shops erected, roads laid out and graded, a nursery of fruit and ornamen- tal trees started, etc. Mr. Sullivant systematized a comprehensive plan for the management of his labor, and strict and elaborate ac- counts were kept of every expenditure, and showing each day's work, whether done by man or beast.
An account published of a visit to Burr Gaks in the autumn of 1878, says: " Here, often under great discouragement, but with an indomitable will and untiring energy, Mr. Sullivant has been work- ing out his great schemes on the prairies of Illinois, noted there, as in Ohio, for broad views and a genial and generous hospitality.
I took a ride of twenty miles through the corn-fields, and was sur- prised to see the great improvements made since my former visit in 1869, and stood almost in admiration alongside the huge ricks of hay containing 3,500 tons.
" With a herd of the finest blooded, Durham cattle, 500 mules and horses, wagons, farming implements and machinery in proportion. and employing on an average 300 men. Mr. Sullivant has estab- lished the claim of being the most extensive and enterprising farmer in the United States. His operations have attracted atten- tion as well in Europe, as America."
An article published in Harper's Weekly, September, 1871, gave a number of sketches, and a long and interesting description of " Burr Oaks Farm."
The financial crisis of 1878 ruined many, and was the begin. ning of a series of embarrassments that culminated five years later in the complete blotting. out' of Mr. Sullivant's great un- dertaking. In addition to $100,000 of his own capital, he had bor- rowed from time to time additional suma, expecting that the land brought under cultivation would, in three years, pay expenses and repay portions of these loans, but the crops failed, only one out of several realizing an average yield.
Still sanguine of success in the end, Mr. Sullivant continued cultivating the land, and making improvements, and upon the com- pletion of the railroad through the farm, built large hay barns at the station for pressing and storing hay, and the summer of 1874, erected an elevator, at a cost of $20,000, furnishing it with a fifty horse-power engine, and shellers of large capacity, which is yet ranked one of the best between Chicago and St. Louis. The very promising crop of 1874, was a fallure from a severe drought; 1875 was disastrous, while 10 per cent semi-annual interest had added largely to the original loans. In 1876, Mr. Sullivant offered the entire farm for sale, and laid out the town at the station. A few farms were sold and a few lots, but real estate was at its lowest point in value, and the few sales made, availed nothing to relieve the situation.
In March, 1877, he made an assignment, no longer able to stem the tide against him, ill health adding its weight to financial troubles.
In January, 1878, Mr. Sullivant became dangerously ill, and though better at times, never recovered; the summer of this year was one of hopeless anxiety for himself and family, and in October there was a public sale of all its property. Mr. Hiram Sibley, of Rochester, N. Y., was his largest creditor, and by this sale became the possessor of 17,641 acres of Burr Oaks Farm, the personal pro- perty, the town with its elevator and several other buildings, and the homestead, the Equitable Trust Company and others taking the balance of the estate, comprising 14,000 acres. With sorrow no
words can express, Mr. Sullivant saw the utter wreck of his life- long labors and cherished plans, himself left without an scre of his once princely domain. He remained at Burr Oaks during No- vember and December, but left to visit his daughters residing in Kentucky, in January, never to return. He died suddenly. Jan- uary 99, 1879; his remains were taken to Columbus, and buried at Green Lawn Cemetery, January 31. The Cincinnati Gasette, after referring to a previous notice of his death, said : " Mr. Sullivant be- longed to a family of considerable distinction. He acquired distinction long ago, by his broad views on agriculture, for his re- markable enterprise, and for ideas and plans which have effected so much to the cause of agriculture in this State. Had be chosen some other occupation, his enterprise, strength of character, intel- lect and tenacity of purpose would have made him one of the most prominent men of his time. As it is, he is known as a farmer who operated on the most gigantic scale, as a man who sought to make farming a business rather than an occupation, and who sought to introduce into farming the same business principles that control all large enterprises in the commercial world. He bore the same relation to farming that Stewart did to the dry goods trade."
In politica, Mr. Sullivant was a Republican, but took no active interest, not even when his name was proposed by his friends in the county as a candidate for nomination to the Illinois Legis- lature. While at college, he united with the Presbyterian Church, and remained connected with that church up to the time of his death. He was not given to effusive profession of religion or charity, but was well known for continued acts of benevolence wherever he resided. In manner he was kind and cordial, and in many ways contributed to the pleasures of his employes. To bis family, Mr. Sullivant was affectionate and indulgent, and to his latest moment possessed their enthusiastic devotion. He was twice married, in 1827, to Miss Sarah McDowell, daughter of Joseph Mo- Dowell, of Danville, Ky, who died December 10, 1844, leaving one son and three daughters; and in 1854, to Miss Fanny Trilles, daughter of Luther Trilles, of Bedford, Ohio. Mrs. Fanny . Sul- livant with her son and two daughters continue to reside upon what was once a part of the Burr Oaks estate.
- We close this brief history of a long and evefitful life, the last years of which were passed in Ford Count,. Mr. Sullivant's la- bors will perhaps be more fully appreciated years hence than now. when its inhabitants consider how, as a pioneer, he bravely met and conquered great difficulties.
His old township still bears his name, though the name of the station has been changed, but the visitor who rides for miles along the highways of the old estate bordered by hedges, and sees long lines of trees planted by his direction around many forty-acre tracts, and others for shade and ornament along the streets of the station and prominent points of the place, will not fail to realise that he did much for his successors.
His whole life was devoted to agriculture, first in Ohio, his na- tive State, after in Illinois, the State of his adoption, in whose rapid growth and progress he took s just and enthusiastic pride, and lastly in Ford County, where he was known in the early days of its history, as well by his prosperity as later by his mis- fortunes.
