1. Daniel Sullivan Marker
Daniel F. Sullivan and his brother Martin, born in Ireland, arrived in Pensacola after the Civil War. Possessing a remarkable talent for business, the brothers purchased lumber mills and wharfs on Pensacola Bay and vast areas of timberland in Escambia County. The success of their lumber business in the late 19th century is exemplified by the founding of the town of Century and this monument to Daniel Sullivan, the largest in the cemetery.
Erected by the City of Pensacola, the University of West Florida & the St. Michael's Cemetery Foundation.
