Notes:
I don't know if these 2 bottlers were related, but in 1903 Florence A. Sullivan took over the Saloon at 1016 1st Street NW, which was formerly run by John J. Sullivan. The real estate tansfer was for $102, which seems awfully low, so I'd guess that they were either related or good friends.

John J. Sullivan (1867-?)
John J. Sullivan was born in Ireland, and came to America in 18853.
He owned a saloon at various locations from 1892 to 1902.

Florence A. Sullivan (1875-?)
Florence A. Sullivan is listed as a saloon owner from 1903-1917. I first thought maybe Florence was John J. Sullivan's wife, but later found out that Florence was a man.
