BARBARA MCCULLOUGH

Death of Mrs. Barbara McCullough

  Died at her home in Birmingham, Huntingdon county, at noon on Saturday last, 
Mrs. Barbara McCullough, widow of John McCullough, in the 80th year of her age.  
The deceased was the mother of seven children.  These were: Mary, the deceased 
wife of James McQuaid, of Sinking Valley; Martha, wife of D. E. Robeson, of 
Lewistown; Rachel, a single daughter, who, with her mother, composed the family 
where the deceased had lived for over a half a century; Andrew J., living at 
Derry, Pa.; John F., of Anaheim, California, and D. G. and J. H., residing in 
Altoona.  Mrs. McCullough had been a consistent member of the Presbyterian 
church for many years and was a woman worthy of the name of Christina.  She was 
a regular attendant at all the means of grace and always took an active part in 
the Sunday school.  She had no enemies and during her illness many were the 
wishes expressed that she might be spared for a yet longer stay upon earth.  
During her last sickness which was for over a period of four weeks she suffered 
greatly from severe pain yet with a smile upon her countenance would ay "My 
Father's will; not mine," and her last words to her weeping family and friends 
were, "I am going home."
