P. J. McCullough Dead 

Died April 15 at his residence at 546 Fourteenth Street, Washington D. C., P. J. McCullough.  Funeral 
services were held at the church of the Holy Comforter in Washington April 18.  The deceased was 
one of the pioneers of Gallitzin, well and favorably known by many who will regret his death.  The 
writer, who knew him for many years, will say that his life was most edifying and that he was a noble 
specimen of manhood.  The love of God and his neighbors was uppermost in all his words and 
actions.

He was a pioneer of Gallitzin. After leaving Tunnelhill he was a resident of Broad Top where he 
married. From there he went to Houtzdale where he was one of the signers of the petition for the 
incorporation of the borough.  He was the first burgess of the town. For a number of years he held a 
position in Washington under the government.  He leaves a wife, two daughters, one son and a 
sister, Mrs. Mary Ray of Northside, Pittsburg.  Frank P. Gillen, a nephew, received word of his illness 
and hastened to his bedside in time to see him before death.
