JAMES H. MCCULLOUGH, farmer, near Gettysburg, was born in Franklin Township, 
Adams Co., Penn., October 6, 1849, a son of James and Jane (Cobean) McCullough, 
natives of Adams County, Penn., and of Scotch-Irish origin.  The father was a 
tiller of the soil and reared four children, of whom James H. is the youngest.  
Our subject grew to manhood on the farm, attended the common schools and the 
preparatory department of Pennsylvania College, and settled down as a farmer, 
which occupation he still pursues, and is owner of a well improved farm of

Reid, of Scotch-Irish descent, a daughter of Andrew Reid, a farmer, by
