Joyce, Thanks for making a contact. It took me awhile to respond because I wanted to go back in my notes from Union Parish. I found I had a Sue BARRETT MCCULLER b. 1846, d. 1924, & buried in Bernice City Cemetery and B.A. MCCULLER b. 1848, d. 1926, & buried in Bernice City Cemetery. I have not contacted them to my MCCULLAR family but have kept the information hoping it would someday contact. Was their name spelled MCCULLER or MCCULLAR? Do you know when they came to Union Parish? Who was B.A.'s parents? In the Pine Grove Cemetery located southeast of Bernice, there are several MCCULLERs. They include: O.B. MCCULLER 1852-1902 Beulah MCCULLER BEVANS 1904- William Dave MCCULLER 1869-1947 Lawton MCCULLER 1908- Edna P. MCCULLER 1910-1983 Dumas Murden MCCULLER 1879-1963 Mae G. MCCULLER 1886-1971 Culpepper MCCULLER 1820-1894 *have info from GA on him Mary E. MCCULLER 1839-1914 Thomas Henry MCCULLER 1899-1900 Emma Lea MCCULLER 1915-1919 Clara Angeline MCCULLER 1908-1918 Joseph Robert MCCULLER 1874-1954 Elizabeth PHILLIPS MCCULLER 1871-1968 Ethel MCCULLER DYER -1971 Johnnie Edna MCCULLER -1983 If you know anything about these MCCULLERs, I would appreciate the info. I have always thought there was a connection between the two families, but I haven't been able to prove it at all.
