WM. H. CULLOM FUNERAL

SERVICES TO BE HELD AT THE
HOME AND BURIAL WILL
BE IN BUNNELL
________
William H. Cullom, 86, Civil war veteran, member of the G.A.R. and a retired business man, succumbed to pneumonia Monday night at his home 500 North Columbia street, following a short illness. Although he had been failing health for several years he had been confined to his home but three weeks. Prior to then he usually paid a daily visit to the post headquarters of the G.A.R. in the basement of the courthouse where he met again his companions in arms in the war of the rebellion, and no greater joy was his to live in memory through the trying days which are gone and to recall the stirring incidents of his young life when he wore the blue uniform of the northern soldier.
FUNERAL TO BE TODAY
Funeral services will be held this (Wednesday) afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the residence. Rev. E. E. Moorman of the First Christian church will officiate. He will be assisted by Q. A. Kennedy a long time friend of the deceased. Burial will be in Bunnell cemetery, where the members of Stone River post, G.A.R. will give their burial ritualistic service.
Mr. Cullom was a young farmer boy just turned nineteen when the call to arms came and he enlisted in Company G, 26th Indiana infantry at Clarks Hill, July 27, 1861. He was born on June 14, 1842, on a farm near Stockwell, Tippecanoe county, and his associates in army life were boys from the western part of Clinton county and the community near
Stockwell. He served in many important engagements, his outfit being commanded by Capt. N. A. Logan of Michigantown. Capt. Logan was afterwards promoted to a colonel of his regiment.
Mr. Cullom was discharged from service in Indianapolis on September 21, 1864, and immediately returned to his home where he again took up the occupation of farming, which he had left when he joined up with the colors.
MARRIED IN 1871
On Thanksgiving day, 1871, he was married to Miss Mary Bausman, and one son, George Cullom, of this city, was born to this union. Mrs. Cullom died on December 7, 1872. Two years later, on September 16, 1874, he married, Miss Ellen Blickenstaff, and four children blessed this union. Two survive their father, Mrs. Frank Coulter, of this city, and Mrs. Irwin Brown, of Indianapolis. One daughter, Pearl, died in infancy and one son, Fred Cullom, preceded his father in death a year.
Following his marriage to Miss Blickenstaff, Mr. Cullom continued to reside on a farm near Stockwell until 1880, when they moved to Frankfort and purchased the North Columbia street property where they have since made their home, residing continuously in the same place for more than forty-eight years.
OPERATED A FEED STORE
Shortly after establishing his home in this city Mr. Cullom opened a feed store on ground purchased just south of the present plant of the Central Heating Company, and continued its operation until a few years ago. In those times, before the general advent of the motor car, a feed and grain store was one of the city's most essential business places and
in this capacity he established friendships and acquaintances which endured throughout his life. His son, Fred was associated in business with him in this location for a short time, and when Mr. Cullom retired the son purchased ground at the west terminal of Washington street and opened a feed store there, enlarging it and adding varied lines, including coal.
He was a member of the Christian church and Stone River Post, G.A.R.
HAD FAITH IN FRANKFORT
William Cullom believed in Frankfort and had faith in the growth of the small town as he first knew it. With this thought in mind he purchased a number of tracts throughout various sections of the town and platted them into town lots. Printed tracts of the city, showing various Cullom additions, stand as a reminder of his keen sightedness.
Throughout his life he was a booster for his adopted town and was interested in the continued growth and prosperity of Frankfort.
Although the passing years mounted on his shoulders, Mr. Cullom forever held dear the memories of his association in the great Civil war and each year found him present at his regimental reunion, mingling once again with his friends of youth. However, last year his failing health did not permit him to make the cherished pilgrimage to the scene where his former comrades had gathered.
