Frank B. McCullough, a successful farmer and well known citizen of Cross Creek Township, resides on a valuable farm of 137 acres known as the old Oliver farm. He was born in Wayie Townslaip, Jefferson County, November 4, 1872, and is a son of Walter A. and Julia K. (Ford) McCullough. His paternal grandparents were John and Jane McCullough, and his grandparents on his mother's side, Nicholas and Caroline Ford. The parents of Mr. McCullough still live in Wayie Township and are agricultural people. They are members of the M. E. Church, and the father is a Republican in politics. They had two sons born to them, Frank B. and William.
Frank B. McCullough attended the public schools and later Scio College for two years. He then went to work at farming, which has always been his occupation. He remained on the home farm with his father until his marriage, and then moved to his present place, which was inherited by his wife and her sister from their father. In addition to general farming, he has considerable business as an auctioneer and an established reputation in that line of work. He makes a specialty of raising fine harness and draft horses, and is the owner of two fine stallions, namely: Black Crook, coal black in color, with a mark of 2:18, and an imported Belgium draft horse, coal black in color and weighing 1,830 pounds, the latter costing him $2,000. He is a Republican in politics and has served two terms as assessor, one term in Wayne Township and one in Cross Creek.
