Cloning
Dolly, a Finn-Dorset ewe, was the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult somatic cell. Dolly was formed by taking a cell from the udder of her 6-year old biological mother. Dolly's embryo was created by taking the cell and inserting it into a sheep ovum. It took 434 attempts before an embryo was successful. The embryo was then placed inside a female sheep that went through a normal pregnancy. She was cloned at the Roslin Institute in Scotland by British scientists Sir Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell and lived there from her birth in 1996 until her death in 2003 when she was six. She was born on 5 July 1996 but not announced to the world until 22 February 1997. Her stuffed remains were placed at Edinburgh's Royal Museum, part of the National Museums of Scotland.
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.
