Florence B. Sullivan

Patrolman Florence Sullivan succumbed to injuries received ten months earlier after he was severely beaten while attempting to break up a disturbance.

Several men threw him to the ground and beat him with his own night stick and a wine jug and slammed his head against a stone. Patrolman Sullivan returned to work one month later but became sick and had to return home. His health deteriorated until he died.

Patrolman Sullivan had served with the Danbury Police Department for seven years. He was survived by his wife and two children.
