Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Monday, February 27, at St. Francis de Sales Cathedral, First and Church streets. The Rev. Julian Cassar of St. Francis will celebrate the Mass. Vault interment will be at Mount Hope Cemetery. </div> <div>     Mr. McCullough was born at Baker City on Jan. 22, 1921, to Charles and Elizabeth Whited McCullough. He was the family's youngest child. He was a graduate of St. Francis Academy. While enrolled at Oregon State College (now Oregon State University at Corvallis), World War II began. Rod saw service as a pilot in both the Naval and Army Air Corps. Flying later proved to be of benefit as Rod traveled throughout the Pacific Northwest as a cattle auctioneer. In 1948, Rod married Nancy Gay Russell. Their marriage last until Nancy's death in November 2003. Mr. McCullough enjoyed his extended family and numerous friends who were thought of as family. Nancy and Rod's home was visited constantly. They always welcomed their sons' friends. Many will remember Rod's laughter. His ability to utilize humor while imploring cattle buyers to pay more always made the auction fun. Many a frustrated cow buyer was later consoled at Nancy's dinner table. Together, she and Rod welcomed dozens of new friends yearly on sale days. Rod's friends found a man whose loyalty transcended the good and difficult times. He was not without a temper. He could be irascible and stubborn. He also was known as a generous person for whom to work. </div> <div>     Rod will be remembered for civic involvement. He was past president of the Baker County Chamber of Commerce and a supporter of the East-West Shrine Game. He served as a Baker County commissioner and was a longtime member of the Airport Commission. He had but one single avocation: the raising and efficient marketing of commercial beef cattle. His happiest days were spent at the Shook Ranch or behind the microphone. His skill at cooking outdoors was noteworthy. Pounded round steak, fried potatoes with onions, thick dark gravy and homemade biscuits were a regular bill of fare and Rod's favorite meal. Rod McCullough always sat a good horse. He was skilled as a judge of horses and threw an excellent loop at a calf's heels. </div> <div> He was a 60-year member of the Baker Elks Lodge and a Roman Catholic. He was no ordinary man, his family said. He was world class as a practical joker. His son's dates encountered large onions substituted for a corsage. Some unwary teetotaler received whiskey shot glasses at Christmastime and traveling companions were sometimes known to double pay for gasoline. </div> <div>     Survivors include their children, James of Baker City, Mike and Christina of Powell Butte and Charles of Salem; granddaughters, Rachel and Megan McCullough of Powell Butte; and grandsons, Brian McCullough of Richmond, Va., and Joseph McCullough with the American Institute of Foreign Studies in the Czech Republic, while on leave from the University of South Carolina.

He and another boy, Ralph Whitcomb, decided to go deer hunting near the Pine Springs area. They drove a wagon and led two pack and saddle horses. Ralph drove the wagon and they went to an old Hashknife Line Camp dugout. They were sleeping when it began to snow and blow and it turned into one of the worst blizzards seen for a long time. The boys were snowed in for 10 days in the cabin. They killed a deer to eat on and when the boys fathers found them on the tenth day, they were pretty comfortable. Needless to say, the mothers were most anxious about the boys! The worse thing happened was</div> <div> Frank freezing his big toe. The year was 1888. As Frank grew up, he worked various places. One of them was the Laurel Leaf outfit run by Billie Clanton, father of Cather Clanton. He worked for three roundups for Mr. Clanton; 1891, 1892 and 1893. In a letter written to John O. Bye, Frank comments on the loading of range cattle at Belle Fourche, "Clanton used to have me run the horses to guide the steers into the pens. I was sort of a kid but he said "Kid, you're fast and go to it." I have never forgotten that. Frank was noted for his walking ability and used to walk around his sheep more than he ever rode around them. Frank raised Rambouillet sheep and was much more interested in sheep than in cattle.</div> <bR> <div> A poem was written about Frank and his walking:</div> <div> "He walked from Rapid City to</div> <div> what's Harding County now</div> <div> Way back in eighty-seven</div> <div> though he never told us how.</div> <div> And froze his big toe hunting</div> <div> deer in eighteen eighty-eight.</div> <div> Off in the Jump-Off county</div> <div> when a blizzard hit the state."</div> <bR> <div> Frank and Louise settled on Buffalo Creek south of the present site of Buffalo. Later they moved to town and lived where the present James Clarkson Sr. house is. Their son, Ted, was the first baby born in Buffalo. The two older boys were born at the homestead by Buffalo Creek. Art and Harold were born in a log house there. While visiting with Uncle Harold, he told me that when Abe Lincoln was born in a log cabin, they made it a national monument: when he and his brother were born in a log house, they later used for a barn on the Gilbert ranch!!! Lloyd and Curtis, the two youngest boys were born in Buffalo also. After Frank Gilbert's death on October 16, 1953, Louise moved to Buffalo</div> <div> and lived near her son, Harold, until her death on November 8, 1966. This couple were truly a pioneer pair and they were part of the birth of Buffalo which I will go into later.</div> <bR> <div>     The Gilbert family had much to do with the birth of Buffalo at its present location. The following information has been taken from the books, Building An Empire and Back Trailing in the Heart Of The Short Grass Country. After the huge county of Butte was split up into Butte, Perkins and Harding, it became necessary to have a county seat in each county. Since Camp Crook was the largest town and had the facilities in the town for a county seat, it appeared logical it would become the county seat. However, "the settlers living near the geographical center of the county observed their favorable position and decided to enter the fight for the county seat. They located a new town site by running lines from the northwest corner of the county in the southeast corner, and from the northeast corner to the southwest corner. Where the lines intersected they decided to locate the new town and call it Buffalo. Later it was thought best to make use of the present location about five miles distant from the first site. The new site was on the north bank of the south fork of Grand River located on the old Medora-Black Hills stage crossing. 40 acres of land were purchased on this site by Ray Gilbert, Frank Gilbert, William Fried and Frank Van Horn, all settlers near the center of the county. Ray and Frank Gilbert formed a partnership known as Gilbert Brothers and Company, erected a building on the site and organized the Grand river Store in the fall of 1908. Other buildings erected were the Van Horn Hotel, the Harding County Bank and the Harding County Era building. Soon Buffalo became a thriving young town, determined to put up a strenuous fight for county seat honors."</div> <div> There was a tremendous amount of rivalry between the two towns naturally. "Frank Gilbert and his "sorrel team" and spring wagon were conspicuous in various parts of the county interviewing voters...."</div> <div>     Various offers were made to attract votes by both sides of the issue. "Gilbert Brothers and Company offered the county five rooms for office space above the Grand River Store, rent free for two years, and the 40 acres of town site for $414 if Buffalo were chosen to be the county seat. The people of Camp Crook, not to be outdone, the following week advertised that they would give the county a gift of $2400 and 40 acres of land if Camp Crook were chosen. To gain votes, both towns offered free entertainment, chiefly dances and ball games, to attract people from all parts of the county....The election resulted in a victory for Buffalo, with the vote as follows: Buffalo, 432; Camp Crook, 187."</div> <div>     Frank Gilbert went on to become a county commissioner from 1933 until 1953 at the time of his death at which time his son Lloyd took over. He was also Representative of Harding County for three terms starting in 1921, 1923, and 1925.</div> <div>     Frank Gilbert, William Fried, and F.W. Wilson started the Harding County Bank. They were also involved in the first newspaper, the "Harding County Era" but later sold that out to Fred fuller of Reeder, North Dakota.</div> <bR> <div> From the book Building An Empire, an historical Booklet on Harding County, South Dakota Compiled and Published by Buffalo Times-Herald</div> <div> F. M. Gilbert, one of the founders of the town of Buffalo who served many years as county commissioner, is shown as he worked to establish a stand of trees on the ranch southwest of Buffalo. At Buffalo's 50th Anniversary celebration, trophies will be given to the oldest man and woman who have lived in Harding county fifty years or more, in memory of Mr. Gilbert by his son Lloyd. F. M. Gilbert, along with his brother, O.R. Gilbert, brother-in-law William Fried, organized the Grand River Mercantile Co., in the fall of 1908, and along with Frank Van Horn, organized the new town in the winter of 1908-09. He made his home in Harding county from 1883 when the family settled at Nashville, until his passing on October 16, 1953.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Carrie GRONEMEIER - Obituary</U></B><B><U> <A NAME="carrie_gronemeier_obit"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B></div> <div> The Indianapolis Times, Indianapolis, Indiana, Aug 8, 1961</div> <div> Mrs. McCullough, Pastor's Widow</div> <div> Mrs. Carrie G.

When God, in His infinite wisdom, called Charles Albert McCullough, He selected a man with many gifts. Charles A. McCullough was a musician, a singer and instrumentalist. His voice was raised ever to the glory of God. His talents were often in demand as a leader of music in revivals and music festivals. He played the piano and violin; he organized orchestras and smaller instrumental groups to serve the Lord. One might well ask, "From what source did Brother McCullough derive his gifts." The answer is easy. He came from a talented family; he was well trained; and, he was consecrated to his tasks.</div> <div>     Charles A. McCullough was the grandson of two local preachers in the Methodist Church. He was born on January 29, 1872, in vigo County to devoted Methodist parents, Nancy and David McCullough. He grew up in the atmosphere of religion and that atmosphere fostered the love for Christ. DePauw Prep School and DePauw University both graduated Rev. McCullough. He was valedictorian of his college class. While in school, he began to preach and served as a student in the Putnamville Charge. It was the first of many, all within the bounds of the Indiana Conference. Besides Putnamville, he was pastor at Monrovia, Cloverdale, Loogootee, Bruceville, Ellettsville, Brooklyn, Whiteland, Shelbyville Circuit, Morristown, Shelburn, College Corner, Worthington, Linton, Petersburg, Salem, Fountain Street (Indianapolis), Madison Avenue, Trafalgar, and Fairfield. In every church he left his mark in evangelism and building. Rev. McCullough was a builder and a craftsman. The churches which he served were better physically because he served. He believed that the "House of God" should be without blemish.</div> <div>     Charles Albert McCullough married his devoted helpmeet, who survives him, Miss Carrie Gronemeier, on the 29th of September, 1904. To them were born eight children of which seven are living and follow in the tradition of their father in life. They are: Robert R. (Detroit), K. Randall (Indianapolis), H. Duane (Indianapolis), L. Loren (Indianapolis), Howard C. (Indianapolis); Mrs. Howard (Frances Lucille) Gillespie (Clarksburg, W. Va.) and Miss Mary Louise at home with Mrs. McCullough. Rev. McCullough was called to the very presence of God on June 29, 1958. His Funeral service was held in the Chapel of the Roberts Park Church where his quarterly Conference membership was kept since his retirement in 1939. His pastor; Amos L. Boren, his district Superintendent Gerald L. Clapsaddle and his dear friend and brother John Siner led the service. His interment was in the Crown Hill Cemetery of Indianapolis. His memory rests in the hearts of all who knew him.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Edward Lee IRVIN - Obituary</U></B><B><U> <A NAME="edward_irvin_obit"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B></div> <div> Edward Irvin</div> <div> Rock Falls - Edward Lee Irvin, 57, of Rock Falls died Wednesday, Jan 24 2001, at CGH Medical Center.
