Henry owned a farm about a 1/4 of a mile east of Freeburg, Ohio on State Route 153. He lived on this farm for 38 years. This farm was owned by Laura's parents Samuel & Caroline (Gable) Ruff, before Henry purchase it. The barn on this farm was built by Samuel Ruff in 1888, it is still standing today. On this farm he raised livestock and grew wheat, oats, and corn for a living. Henry often helped his neighbors and was well respected for his efforts.
It was on this farm Henry died of a heart ailment at the age of 78. His wife Laura kept the farm for three years. On March 20, 1942 she auctioned the farm and Contents of the home. Laura then moved in with her daughter and son-in-law, Elmer and Merle Bruner, who lived down the road from the farm on the left. This is where Laura lived out her last days passing away from an illness of eight months, she was 80 years old.
Henry and Laura were married on December 18, 1888 by Rev. J. J. Leberman in the Reformed Church of Louisville. They were members of the Church of the Brethren in Freeburg, and are buried in the Church Cemetery.
I have parts of grandpa Henry's horse harness's and wagon wheel wrenches that Marion Rummell gave to my uncle, Wilford Henry Culler, who in turn gave to me. I also have the old fiddle sower that Henry used to sow his hay seed with. This was given to me by Henry's granddaughter, Betty Bruner.
This next was in a old newspaper article I have on Henry's and Laura's Golden Wedding Anniversary.
One of the joys of life which comes to relatively few people is that of celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Brother and Sister Henry Culler of the Freeburg congregation were privileged to follow the road of life together for fifty golden years and celebrated just recently the beginning of that journey.
They were married by Rev. J. J, Leberman of the Louisville Reformed Church December 23, 1888. Brother Culler, who is 77, and Sister Culler, who is 73, united with the Church of the Brethren in 1894. They have always been faithful in their service and attendance and have given to the church a family of four sons and three daughters, all whom are active in the church. They were permitted to have with them for this celebration all of their living descendants; seven children, twelve grandchildren and one great-grandchild. In the afternoon they held open house, receiving a number of friends who came to bear them best wishes and gifts. It is on homes like this, which have lasted down through the years, through joys and sorrows, guiding and helping to build new Christian homes, that we ask God's blessing.
