>From "The History of Johnson County, Missouri," 
Kansas City Historical Co. 1881

W. R. CULLEY,
P.O. Cornelia. One of the prominent old settlers of Chilhowee township,
was born in Howard County, Missouri, in 1821. His father, John Culley was
among the pioneers of that county.  He was a native of Tennessee, born
August 12, 1792, and was a soldier in the War of 1812, having served five
years, and after his discharge, settling in Old Franklin, Missouri. He was
married in 1820, and in 1836, came to Johnson County, and made it his home
until his death, which ocurred August 15, 1876.  William R. Culley was the
eldest of his father’s family, and  on him rested many cares of the
household. He has seen many changes in this county, hardship, privation,
as well as enjoyment, which render the memory of those early days
especially dear. He was twice married, first to Miss Mary Brown, January
16, 1849, daughter of Samuel Brown. She died in about seven months after
marriage. He was again married July 2, 1857 to Miss Louisa C. Perry, a
native of Tennessee. They have five children yet living. Mr. Culley has
ever taken great interest in the cause of Christianity: himself and family
are closely associated with Cumberland Presbyterian Church, to which he
has been a liberal contributor. His firm stand for temperance and
education have been strongly inculcated in the minds of his family. His
well cultivated farm of 250 acres contains a good orchard and well
appointed dwelling.
