John L Sullivan retires to farm life in New England
The former boxing champion John L Sullivan, now living on a farm he bought three years ago, embraces a simple rural life in Massachusetts. He continues building on the place, gardens with blueberry bushes for visitors, and says he plans no return to touring or stage work, preferring quiet days, two meals, and abstinence from alcohol. He weighs 235 pounds on arrival, now 208, and credits his water wagon life and plain food for his health. His wife defends him against sensational reports, noting she has little interest in public life and that he is not henpecked.
