General Notes: Husband - Joseph McCullough

---

The educational facilities afforded in the schools of his vicinity were limited and, as a son of a busy farmer, he could not always avail himself of them, such as they were. However, by diligent study during the winter terms he fitted himself for teaching, in which he engaged for two or three terms with marked success. He was recognized as a man of more than ordinary intellectual force. His rare powers of thoughtful observation and his eager search for knowledge in all lines brought him an education much beyond the average. Of plain address, he never sought to win the confidence of others by the tricks of oratory, but his sound judgment and integrity gave his words convincing force. He was a stanch Republican, but never cared for political honors, and his various positions of usefulness in the church to which he devoted so much of his time and thought.
He married and soon afterward settled on a tract of 160 acres of land adjoining his father's homestead, purchased from Miles Davis. It was partially improved, having a log house and barn, and Mr. McCullough proceeded to make it an attractive and comfortable homestead. In 1858 he built a large bank barn, and two years later a commodious two-story residence; many other improvements made from time to time gave it a place among the model farms of the locality. For many years he followed farming and lumbering as a business.
In 1881 his team ran over him and injured his spine so seriously as to affect his nervous system. Notwithstanding his failing health he continued his usual occupations, performing much manual labor, for nearly thirteen years, when he was compelled to retire from active work. During the year of suffering that followed, every effort was made to find relief for him, and about a week before his death he was taken to Philadelphia to consult Dr. Weit Mitchell. An examination showed his case to be hopeless, and Dr. Mitchell advised him to return home at once. He reached home May 11, 1895, only to die; passing away on the evening of the same day, at the age of sixty-five years. His funeral took place from the First Presbyterian Church at Beulah, in which he had been an elder for many years.
