Carl Cranfil McCullough was born on January 29, 1999, in Green Forest Town, Carroll County, Arkansas, the youngest child of Nancy Ellen Brashears and the Reverend Solomon C. McCollough. When Cranfil was four years old, his father homesteaded land in northern Carroll County, near the border of Missouri and Arkansas. Cranfil grew up on his father's 80 acre homestead and the additional 60 acres Solomon McCollough eventually added to his spread.
Cranfil's father, Solomon McCullough, was a Methodist Circuit Rider who often rode horseback many miles to fulfil his pastoral duties, staying away from home weeks at a time. As a result, Cranfil grew up knowing a lot about hard work.
On May 15, 1918, Cranfil married Birtha Tibbits. To this union were born 2 daughters, Pauline McCullough Isabell (1919-2007) and Sybill McCullough Morris. On January 13, 1921, Birtha passed away, leaving Cranfil alone with two little girls. Bertha's family assisted Cranfil with the two little girls and eventually Dink and Nellie Nelson became the two little girls adoptive parents.
The year 1964 found Cranfil in California, where on June 13 of that same year he passed away. He is buried beside his beloved wife, Bertha, in the Blue Eye Cemetery, in Stone County, Missouri.
Note: People wonder why Solomon's two sons, Cranfill and Thomas, spelled the family name with a "u" instead of an "o" as their father did. Rosette Zubiate, grandaughter of Thomas Luke McCullough, provides the answer, "Back when the McColloughs were working in the oil fields around Bakersfield, CA., there was a rule that family members could not be employed at the same time with the oil co. so, one faction of the family changed the spelling. My father was born in Fellows, CA. by Bakersfield during those oil field days."
