- Culler, Samuel -- Mt. Zion. On Tuesday, March 20, 1894, Samuel Culler, a pioneer of this section, departed this life at the age of 84 years, 3 months and 24 days. He was born in Frederick County, Md., and at an early day, with his parents, emigrated to near this place, where nearly his whole life was spent. About the year 1833 he united with the church at Mt. Zion, of which he remained a faithful member until his death. In 1849 he was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Blust. Twelve children were born to them, seven boys and five girls, all of whom, with their mother, survive him. He also served as justice of the peace, in the township in which he resided, some twelve or fifteen years. He was a generous and kind-hearted man, always ready and willing to help in time of need or in times of trouble, and when he was called upon to perform any duty, be it for church or state, he was active and prompt in the performance of the same. He will be greatly missed, but his acts and deeds will long linger in the minds and hearts of his many friends. Submitted by Amy. [Richland Shield & Banner: 31 March 1894, Vol. LXXVI, No. 46]

Samuel Culler was born in Frederick County, Maryland, in the village of Jefferson, November 26, 1809. When at the age of fifteen years, his parents removed to this county and township, where Mr. Culler has since lived. He is the oldest child of Philip and Mary Culler. His father died in 1855, and his mother in 1845, on the farm in the southeast quarter of section thirty-six, where they settled one month after they came here.
Samuel was married March 22, 1849, to Sarah A. Blust. The fruit of this union are twelve children, all of whom are living, as follows: Philip M., who was married March 11 1880, he was born June 13, 1810; Henry D., born September 17, 1851, who is now practicing law in Mansfield, Ohio, he being attorney for Aultman, Taylor & Co., Margaret L., born July 24, 1853; William H., born August 7, 1855; John F., born December 23, 1856, Mary S., born September 27, 1858; Sarah A., born June 3, 1860; Thomas J., born August 8, 1861; Laura E., born May 23, 1863; Almira V., born April 25, 1865; Samuel S., born April 4, 1867; and Joseph E., born April 6, 1872.
Mr. Culler is among the early settlers of this county, and is identified with the Seymour, or more properly the Zimmer and Culler families of the township. He relates many incidents pertaining to pioneer life that are not only interesting but instructive to any one who may be fortunate to hear him. He remembers at one time when a boy his father sent him to Sandusky City with some grain to buy salt and other things for family use. His father gave him all the money they had, which was ten cents. He went to Sandusky alone, and came back without spending the money.
He also recalls many hardships and privations that at that time all had to endure, that the present as well as the future generations will never know or experience. His great-grandfather on his mother?s side was in the war of the Revolution, and was commissioned by General Washington as captain. His great-grandfather on his father?s side was in the war at the time Braddock was defeated by the French and Indians at Bloody Run, Pennsylvania, as well as in the Revolutionary war. His grandfather was born in this country, and several of his sons participated in the war of 1812. His uncle Henry held a commission as second lieutenant at first, and when discharged was first lieutenant.
Samuel Culler is what is termed a self-made man, never having had the advantages of a common school education. But today he is justice of the peace, and has held that office from time to time for nearly twenty-one years, as well as various other offices of trust in his township. He votes the Republican ticket, and his township is Democratic fully three to one.
