Surviving are his wife, the three children, one brother Elmer Cullar of Columbiana, Ohio, and seven grandchildren. One grandson preceded him in death.

Mr. Cullar was an active member of the church, serving as church treasurer for a number of years, and assisting in whatever capacity he could.

He operated a greenhouse and vegetable farm for many years at his home. He was a member of the Farm Bureau, Beaver Ruritan club, and the Ohio Vegetables Grower Association.

Funeral services were held on Sunday, Jan. 11, at 2:00 p.m. at the Midway Mennonite Church in charge of Paul Yoder and Ernest Martin. Burial was made in the adjoining cemetery.
