Michael Long Culler ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

(Source: Centennial Biographical History of Richland County, Ohio, Baughman, 1901.)

Soon after coming to this county with his parents, Michael L. Culler was married and located on the quarter section of land where our subject now resides, it having been given him by his father. He taught school for two terms in one of the pioneer log schoolhouses of Monroe Township, and then turned his attention to the improvement and cultivation of his farm, which occupied his time until called to his final rest in 1852. Politically he was a stanch supporter of the Whig party but cared nothing for official honors. An earnest, consistent Christian, he was from early life an officer in the Lutheran Church, and was largely instrumental in building Mount Zion Church, to which he was always one of the most liberal contributors. His estimable wife died in 1880. To this worthy couple were born nine children, eight of whom still survive, namely; Barbara, the wife of Henry Keefer, a farmer of Mifflin Township, this county; Joseph H., a farmer of Clay County, Indiana; Ellen, the wife of Henry Will, a painter of Michigan; Sarah, the wife of James Shambaugh, a farmer of Monroe Township, this county; Henry, a farmer of Barry County, Michigan; Martin L., our subject; Lewis, a farmer of Butler Township, this county; and Simon, a carpenter of Mansfield, Ohio.
