The Blade, Fairbury, Illinois,  Sept. 23, 1910
 MRS. ELLEN MCCULLOUGH
	The funeral services of Mrs. Ellen McCullough, who died at her home 
Saturday, Sept. 17, 1910 were held at the M.E. church Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., 
Rev. Wilson of Fairbury, officiating, assisted by Rev. Bell of Cropsey.
	The deceased was born in Howard Center Co., Pa., June 6, 1842, being 
68 years, 3 months, and 11 day old.
	She lived in her native home until 1847, when she removed with her 
parents to Kendall Co., Ill. where she spent her youth.  In 1858 she was 
married to Ira McCullough, who preceded her to our heavenly home just three 
years ago the 16th of May.
	Ten children were born to this union, two having died in infancy, and 
Mrs. Maude Whitney who was taken home June 20, 1910.
	The living are:  Mrs. Della Stewart, Genoa, Ill.; Mrs. Dora Kent, of 
Cropsey; Mrs. Gertrude Stewart , of Hinckley; Mrs. Helen Wright, Smithshire; 
Mrs. Blanche Lough, Newark; Mrs. Clara Goins, Genoa, and Rufus McCullough, 
Cropsey.
	In 1861 Mr. and Mrs. McCullough came to the vicinity of Cropsey, which 
has been their home since.  Forty nine years ago they found this country a raw 
prairie and an unbroken wilderness.  They, with others of the early settlers, 
have turned this vast prairie into the most productive grain field in the wide 
world.  
Among those who attended the funeral from a distance were the following:  Mrs. 
Hatch, Dekalb; Mrs. Nash, Genoa; Mr. and Mrs. James Stewart, Hinckley; Mrs. 
Arthur Steward, Genoa; Mrs. Lydia Boyer, DeKalb; Mrs. Hayes Goins, Genoa; Mr.
