    BRADY McCULLOGH, who conducts a large farm in West Pennsboro township,
  Cumberland county, is a grandson of William McCullogh, and a son of John
  McCullogh.

    John McCullogh was born Oct. 12, 1803, in West Pennsboro township, and was
  reared to farming, which occupation he followed until he was thirty years
  old. He then went to Pittsburg, Pa., and for three years was captain of a
  steamboat plying between that city and New Orleans. He next went to
  Baltimore, where he was engaged in the packing business, remaining in that
  city until 1859, when he went to Westmoreland county, Pa. The last few years
  of his life were passed in retirement at Greensburg, where his death occurred
  Feb. 3, 1884. In the year 1845 he bought the old McKeehan farm in West
  Pennsboro township, known

    CUMBERLAND COUNTY.  551

  as Mt. Pleasant, where his son Brady now lives. He married Miss Sarah
  Dunbar, of Newville, by whom he had one child, Jane, who died at Newville.
  For his second wife he married Eliza C. Welty, of Greensburg, Westmoreland
  Co., Pa., and to this union were born six children: Welty, who is deceased;
  Eliza Jane, who lives at Greensburg, wife of W. T. Dorn; Brady, whose name
  introduces this sketch; Horace, who was killed at Greensburg; Tabitha, who
  died at Greensburg; and Annie W., who was married in Greensburg to Denna C.
  Ogden, who resides in Greensburg. The eldest of this family, Welty McCullogh,
  was born Oct. 10, 1845, was a graduate of Princeton College, and was the first
  Republican elected to Congress from his district, which he represented from
  1886 to 1888; he died in 1889, aged forty-six years. The mother died Dec. 18,
  1882.

    Brady McCullogh was born April 22, 1853, in Baltimore. He accompanied his
  father on the latter's removal to Greensburg, and when he took up work began
  in the mercantile line, in which he continued for thirteen years. He then
  went to Cambria county, Pa., where he remained four years, and in 1884 he
  came to Cumberland county, settling on the old home place, which he bought
  from his father in 1885. This tract comprises 186 acres of valuable land
  lying in West Pennsboro township, and here Mr. McCullogh has successfully
  engaged in farming up to the present time. He has been uniformly successful,
  and has gained a position among the most substantial citizens of his
  township, maintaining a high reputation for honor and integrity in all his
  transactions.

    In 1876 Mr. McCullogh was married to Miss Ellen L. Storn, daughter of Louis
  and Margaret (Pfaff) Storn of Germany, and the following named children have
  been born to them: John B. died in infancy; Tabitha is at home; Welty and
  Horace attend high school at Newville; Annie died in infancy; Brady, John,
  Eliza C. and Denna C. O. are also at school. The. family attend the
  Presbyterian Church of Newville. Socially Mr. McCullogh is an Odd Fellow,
  holding membership in Highland Lodge, No. 128, of Cambria county, and
  politically he sympathizes with the Republican party.
