HOME
Members of Well Known Pio
neer Family Arm Themselves
and Refuse so Budge.
Dispossessed of their home place and
I thrown into the street, bag and baggeg,
|by the sheriff’s deputies. Mrs. Mary
Yancey and Miss Annie Sulivan, daugh
ters of the late Dennis Sullivan, who
lived at 287 Decatur street, and mem
bers of one of the South’s pioneer fam
ilies. today defied the police and depu
ties. Armed with shotguns night and
day they are guarding the place that
w.-is once their home.
Their furniture is in the gutter and
their belongings are strewn from side
walk to sidewalk Both Mrs. Yancey
and Miss Sullivan, since they were de
posed Saturday night last, have been
sleeping on the front porch of a store
house next door.
They claim that they are the sole
heirs of Dennis Sullivan and that tha
sale of the house by an administrator
was without authority.
Calmly Defy
Officers of Law.
The sale w as made last Tuesday. The
i two wpmen were notified but they
calml? assured the notifying officers
that they would remain where they
were Saturday night, in obedience to
an order of Jonas Ewing, of the Ans
ley Realty Company, who bought the
property, men were set at work tearing
the house aw ay
The two women stood by and watch
ed. Ever now and then one of them
would hysterically implore the work
men to spare the house that had shel
tered them for so long.
Today with only a few beams and
columns to remind them of the old
days, they- still guarded their home sitb.
The sale at which the house was deed
ed away was an administrator’s sale.
According to Mrs. Yancey, she and
Miss Sullivan are the sole heirs of the
Sullivan estate and there wer<> no debts
in existence which might be urged aa
claims.
The 287 Decatur street property was
occupied by Dennis Sullivan all of his
life. This house was the third plecaX
of Dennis Sullivan property. The three
piece brought 150,000 Mrs Yancey
has not been able to find out who sold
the property.
