General Notes: Husband - A. H. McCulloh


He received a rudimentary education in the schools of his time in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, attended a military academy at Germantown, Pennsylvania, and afterward passed a year and a half at Yale College where he completed his studies. In 1834-35-36 he studied medicine, and attended one course of lectures. He then went west, but returned in a short time, and in 1840 studied law, and was admitted to the bar the year following. After his admission to the bar he spent some time in Indiana, and then returned to Chambersburg, where he practised law three or four years. In 1851 he entered the employ of the Cumberland Valley Railroad as conductor; then served as clerk in the superintendent's office, as assistant auditor, and as general ticket agent, respectively, which latter position he held till August 4, 1886, when he resigned on account of ill health.
Mr. McCulloh was clerk for four years for the county commissioners, and served as burgess of Chambersburg for one year. He was a Mason for many years, and was identified with other societies. In politics he was a Republican. He organized the first Know-nothing society in Franklin County, May 11, 1854, and was the first district deputy of the organization. He and his family were members of the Central Presbyterian Church.

He and his wife had six children, of whom three daughters were still living in 1887.
