General Notes: Husband - John McCullough

---

He was born and reared on the old McCullogh homestead near Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Owing to the death of his father while he and his brothers and sisters were very young, the burden of looking after the family fell upon his shoulders as the eldest son. He continued to support the family until the other children were all reared and educated, and then left the old homestead and went out into the world. His first operation was wagoning across the mountains from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, after which he was a river captain on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, between Pittsburgh and New Orleans. He then went to the city of Baltimore, where he engaged in business and where he remained for a number of years, eventually removing to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he spent a few years only, and then returned to Pennsylvania and settled in the city of Greensburg, Westmoreland County, the old home of his wife. Here he spent the remainder of his life in retirement. Mr. McCullogh was a member of the Seceder church in early life. Later on, however, he joined the Presbyterian church, about the time of his coming to Greensburg, and throughout his life in that place attended the First Church of that denomination there. He was a Republican in politics, but never took an active part in public affairs.
