Your information about where General Thomas Crook Sullivan died is incorrect. He was not living in Troy, Ohio at the time of his death, he was living in a Hotel at Fortress Monroe, Virginia. Also of note, General Sullivan was the nephew of General George Crook. Best Regards
He served throughout the Civil War and was Breveted Major and Lieutenant Colonel on March 13, 1865 for "faithful and meritorious service." He remained in the Army following the war, mainly in supply and subsistence roles until he retired on November 14, 1897 as Commissary General of Subsistence. He died at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, in 1908 and was buried in Section 1 of Arlington National Cemetery. He is buried in one of only two mausoleums in Arlington, the other being that of Lieutenant General Nelson Appleton Miles in Section 2. His daughter, Anna James Stith Sullivan (December
15, 1862-April 8, 1944) and his wife, Martha Castleton Sullivan (Entered
into eternal rest the 7th Day of December 1897) are buried with him.
