CULLOM, M.D., was born in Davidson County, Tenn., July 16, 1839. His parents were Jesse P. and Susan A. (Hooper) Cullom, the former born in same county and State in 1815, and died March 28, 1851, in Lexington, Mo. The mother was born in Dixon County, Tenn., August 29, 1815, and is now living with her son, Dr. Cullom, who at the age of sixteen commenced the watch-making trade, which he followed five years. He enlisted in 1861 in Capt. Crenshaw's company under Gen. Price, of Missouri. He served until the close of the war. Soon after enlistment he was commissioned First Lieutenant and participated in the battles of Carthage, Springfield and Pea Ridge. He was then detailed on scout duty in which he continued until the close of the war, when he returned to Nashville and followed his former trade one year. He then secured a position as clerk in the dry goods store of J. M. Hooper, where he continued one year, after which he took up the study of medicine under the preceptorship of Dr. J. P. Cullom. He remained with the Doctor three years. He then attended the Medical Department of the Nashville University and graduated in the class of 1870. He then moved to Calloway County and commenced the practice of medicine. In 1879 he moved to Cerulian Springs, where he has since been engaged in the practice of his profession with good success. He was married November 9, 1876, to Miss S. A. Brown, of Calloway County, Ky. Three children have blessed this union. The Doctor is a member of the Masonic fraternity, Blue Lodge, and Chapter at Murray, Ky.; also is a member of the Baptist Church, and has been Superintendent of the Sunday-school of that place since his arrival here in 1879.
