MRS. HUGH McCULLOUGH DEAD
The death of Mrs. Hugh McCullough, of Homestead, occured about
8:00 o'clock Monday morning, Feb. 18th, following the parlytic stroke she recently suffered.
The funeral has been set for Wednesday morning at 11:00 o'clock and will be held at the home, after which interment will be made in the Clements cemetery
Mrs. McCullough's death marks the passing on one of Homestead's oldest pioneers as she was a pioneer woman in every sense of the word. She has lived at Homestead for half a century. The death of her husband occurred over a third of a century ago. She has seen three generations grow up in her home community while she has lived on the same farm and in the same house. For almost thirty years she has lived by herself and during her declining years, her wants have been ministered to by her neighbors and friends for whom she has done many deeds of kindness in the years gone by.
Her passing, breaks the link that connects the new with the old, for there is no one left in her home community now who has spanned the years from the time when the first settlements of that community was made until the present day. No one is left to relate at first hand the hardships experienced and the trials and privations of the first homemakers of the homestead country.
These stories will continue to be told but it will be by the children and grand-children of those sturdy men and women who made the first homes; built the first cabins and turned the first prairie sod.
