Remembering Cold Winters and Sulivan Fire History
The reminiscences recount Gill township life with rabbits and quail sales, a bitter December and a 1881 Sul livan West Side fire that destroyed five buildings. Ed Ward's youth, Jeff Raley’s rescue, and the Kommenzen ball mishap illustrate community memories from 19th century Sullivan.
