THE BLOOMFIELD DEMOCRAT, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, March 19, 1903,
Volume XXXV, Number 3, Page 2, Column 4, “OBITUARY. Cullison.” [Transcribed August 30,
2003 from the original newspaper on file in the Office of The Recorder of Greene County,
Indiana.]
Mary C. CULLISON was born September 1, 1862, died March 13, 1903. Age 49 years, 6 months
and 12 days. She was the daughter of Squire and Clarrisa MEREDITH living near Cincinnati,
Indiana. She leaves a father, mother, brother, five children and a host of other
relatives and friends to mourn her untimely death.
She united with the Christian Church at Cincinnati in 1878, and remained a member until
her death.
She was twice married, both husbands having preceded her to the better land. Her sickness
was of nearly one year’s duration. During this time all that could be done by a
physician, relatives and friends was done to relieve her of her sufferings, but their
labors were to no avail.
A short time before she died, realizing that her end was near, she called her children to
her bedside and told them not to grieve, that she was going to rest. Kissing her little
babe she bade them all good bye, when she died without a murmur or a struggle. Her
remains were laid to rest in the Mt. Zion Cemetery near Mineral, Sunday, March 15, there
to await the resurrection morn.
Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But ‘tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled.
Then in Heaven with to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.
E. S.
