Dolly (sheep)
Dolly was cloned by Keith Campbell, Ian Wilmut and colleagues at the Roslin Institute, part of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and the biotechnology company PPL Therapeutics, based near Edinburgh. The funding for Dolly's cloning was provided by PPL Therapeutics and the Ministry of Agriculture. She was born on 5 July 1996 and died from a progressive lung disease five months before her seventh birthday (the disease was not considered related to her being a clone). She has been called "the world's most famous sheep" by sources including BBC News and "Scientific American".
Daniel Sully
Daniel Sully was born on September 6, 1855, in Providence, Rhode Island. He began as a circus performer before moving on to the theater where he would find success as both an actor and writer. Sully was most remembered for his 1884 play, "The Corner Grocery", that had its genesis in Edwin Waugh's "The Chimney Corner". In 1900 Sully found success with Daniel J. Hart’s play "The Parish Priest", a dramatic comedy in which he played the central character, Father John Whalen. By 1902, he was associated with (John) Fitzgerald Murphy (a noted actor, playwright, and political activist of the time). During 1904, Sully was the principal actor for several of Fitzgerald Murphy's plays, namely, "The Irish Statesman" and "The Old Mill Stream" at the California Theatre in San Francisco on respectively 6–7 March and the 13 March of that year. He also starred in Fitzgerald's play "The Chief Justice" in Salt Lake City, Utah. Sully remained active on the legitimate stage and vaudeville until shortly before his death. Sully was a member of the Elks Lodge in Baltimore, Maryland.
