Biography
As published in
"The City of Kenosha and Kenosha County Wisconsin: A Record of Settlement,
Organization, Progress and Achievement"
by Frank H. Lyman Vol. 2, The S. J. Clarke Publishing Co., Chicago, 1916.
With thorough college training and hospital experience to fit him for active
practice, Joseph D. Sullivan came to Kenosha in June, 1914, and has since been
an active representative of the medical profession. He was born in this city
January 8, 1879, and is a son of Thomas A. Sulivan, who is mentioned on another
page of this work. Spending his youthful days under the parental roof, he
mastered the branches of learning taught in the graded and high schools of the
city and afterward entered the Milwaukee University, from which he was graduated
with the class of 1912. Still later he became a student in the medical
department of Marquette University and was there graduated with the class of
1914. During the last year of his college days he did much work in various
hospitals of Milwaukee and thereby added to his theoretical knowledge broad
practical experience. Following his graduation he returned to Kenosha, where he
opened an office and in the intervening period he has built up a good practice.
Dr. Sullivan is a communicant of St. James Catholic church and he holds
membership with the Knights of Columbus, the Eagles, the Elks and the Royal
League. In politics he maintains an independent course, for while interested in
the questions and issues of the day, he does not believe it wise to bind himself
by party ties. The major part of his attention is given to his professional
duties, and in order to keep in touch with the advanced lines of modern
scientific thought and research, he holds membership in the Kenosha County,
Wisconsin State and American Medical Associations.
