Crossed the Divide.
One by one the early and old settlers of the county are going to that bourne from which none have returned to tell us thereof. The last one to cross over is Robert McCulloch who became a resident of Howard county in 1857, passing away Sunday night April 4, aged over seventy years. Deceased was born near Abingdon, Va., Jan. 19, 1822, removing with his parents to Freeport, Illinois in 1836.
