On 9 April 2000, Mr. Ted G. SCHAMBURG, Jr <schamt@swbell.net>, who lives at Fenton, Jefferson Co., Missouri, sent these instructions for finding the cemetery (near his home) where Isaac SULLENS was buried:
In the St. Louis area, take Hwy 270 North or South. Exit at Hwy 30 (Gravois Road, same road Gen. Grant's Farm is on, only in the opposite direction). Take Hwy 30 South (toward the Meramec River). Pass Hwy 141 to the second stop light, where you make a left on Northwest. Northwest ends at Saline Road. Make a right on Saline at the 3-way stop and go 0.4 miles. The grave markers are on the right-hand side of the road.

A record of his marriage is available.

IN MEMORIAM
Rev. Isaac Sullens was born in St. Louis Co., MO. Jan 27, 1810, and died in Jefferson Co., but a few miles from his birth place, on the 23rd of Sept A.D. 1870. Bro. Sullens experienced religion in early life and joined the M.E. Church of which he continued a faithful and useful member until taken from labor for reward. He soon became a class leader and steward in the church. Then exhorter and local preacher. In all these capacities he served the church with great ability and usefulness. At the conference held in Hannibal, in the Fall of 1854, he was ordained Deacon by Bishop Ames: and at Jefferson City he was ordained elder by Bishop Baker in 1864.

As a minister, Bro. Sullens was neither learned nor eloquent, after the fashion of this day. But he was earnest and sensible, giving plainly the meaning of the scriptures. The people heard him gladly, because they knew him to be a good man. And God owned his labors in the conversion of sinners. He preached much and traveled far, often filling the place of the regular minister, and always without pecuniary compensation. Nor was he of that class of local preachers who think themselves exempt from payment to any of the benevolences of the church because they preach. He contributed to all these and was both, liberal and active in the support of the regular ministry.

As a businessman he was successful. His father died when he was a child, leaving him health, hope and an immense energy with which to commence life in a new country. Fortunate in the selection of a wife and blessed of Heaven, he secured a competency; and at the time of his death he might have been called wealthy for one in that neighborhood. He was a farmer, a strong advocate of temperance, and NEVER used tobacco.

He was hospitable as well as generous. He loved his country in the time of her greatest need, and to her he gave his money and his sons. As a neighbor he so conducted himself as to secure the love of most, and the respect of all. As a husband and father he so blended affection with firmness as to make his family happy. The wife of his youth and the partner of all his toils still lives to mourn her irreparable loss. Their sons and daughters, eleven in all, now grown to manhood and womanhood, remember his virtues and imitate his example in many things.

His funeral, which took place from his late residence where he had lived for forty years, was largely attended. A discourse was preached by the writer from Rev. 14:12-13. In a quiet spot nearby, we laid him away to rest. He sleeps well.
