Warren McCullough (from Seitz genealogy) (FindAGrave)		Margaret Josephine DeWitt McCullough (from Seitz genealogy) (FindAGrave)
He was born 30 Jan. 1839 in Boonville, Cooper County, Mo. He died 13 May 1906 in Sullivan County, Mo., and is buried Oakwood (aka Milan Cemetery) in Milan, Sullivan County, Mo. His parents were John and Elizabeth (Bell) McCullough. (For more information on them: JOHN.)  In the Civil War, he was a member of the 66th Regiment Missouri Militia, serving as first lieutenant (commissioned 30 Aug. 1862) of Company I and afterward as captain of Company B. At least one source says he was present but not a participant in the battle of Shiloh, at which his father was taken prisoner, but I suspect this may have been his brother Webster. In 1876, Warren was one of three men who formed private bank at Milan, which did business until 1884 when it became First National Bank. He was involved in various businesses, most notably owner of hardware store. A Republican, he was elected Sullivan County sheriff in 1864 and re-elected 1866, serving a total of four years. He later served one-year terms as alderman from Milan's Second Ward in 1882, 1884 and 1886 and as city clerk in 1887.		She was born 8 July 1849 in Sullivan County, Mo., and died 30 April 1937 in Quincy, Ill., while visiting her daughter, Annie Winters. She is buried in Oakwood (aka Milan Cemetery) in Milan, Sullivan County, Mo. Her parents were Joel and Rachael Ann (Mairs) DeWitt. She was known as Josephine or Josie her entire life. Josephine married Warren McCullough on 2 July 1865, in Milan and they had nine children. In 1887, she served as head of committee on scientific instructions in the schools for the Women's Christian Temperance Union, an organization in which she was long active. Josephine and Warren also frequently took in and raised children other than their own. Other photos: photo 1 and photo 2 Another photo of Margaret in a big group of ladies.

Warren McCullough (age 40) and wife Josephine (age 30), with daughter Elfie (age 11), Annie (age 9),
Bertha (age 7) and son Gird (age2)
and nephew Joseph Hubbard (soon to be husband of
Alda Gertrude Thomas (dau of Mary Magdalene DeWitt Thomas who is Josephine's older sister.))
Note that Alda lives next door at the home of her mother Margaret Thomas!  Looks like a romance to me!
Alda and Joseph were married sometime in 1880 but apparently after June 2nd!
