DR. W.M. McCULLOCH
19 Jan. 1889

The death of this fine gentleman on Monday eveing last, was a source of
profound regret to the whole community.  It was as sudden as unexpected
the destroyer came in the form of pneumonia.  The Doctor was 56 years
old, and a resident of East Carroll for many years.  At the time of the 
death he was president of the police jury and engaged largely in plant-
ing.

Dr. McCulloch came to this parish in 1866.  He was devoted to his fami-
ly, and lavished upon his children every advaantage of education.  He
has a daughter, Miss Kate, now at Notre Dame, Maryland, and his son, 
William, at Trinty College. Mrs. Childs, Mrs. Ruple, Misses Lucilie
and Annie, and little James and Elise were all at home, and attended
the last hours of their beloved father.  He died after having recieved
the last rites of the Catholic Church.

He leaves a devoted wife, six daughters, and two sons, to whom the
Banner extends sincerest sympathy in their great sorrow.  A grief
too deep for words to reach, a heart wound, which only a gracious
God can heal.
