In the success of this man we have an illustration of what a 
young man can accomplish in a few years, who has confidence, 
capacity and preserving pluck.

He was born in Highland Wisconsin, in 1864 a son of James and 
Marguerite (Ford) Cullen.  He received a common school education.  
When eighteen years of age he entered the employ of the Union 
Pacific Railroad Company as brakeman and worked his way up to the 
position of conductor of a passenger train now on the Yellowstone 
division.  His general capacity, geniality, and sociability won 
him many friends.  His popularity was demonstrated in the fall of 
1892 when he was elected to represent Dawson county on the State 
of Montana.  He bears his honors well and has a bright future 
before him.

He was married in 1887 to Josephine Myer, daughter of Joseph and 
Josephine Myer of Montana.  They have three children: two sons 
and one daughter: Roy J., Thomas P., Jr and Ruth.  He has a 
beautiful residence and all the necessary surroundings to make 
life enjoyable.
