Oscar Daniel Culler

From History of Frederick County. p. 1173-1174:

Oscar Daniel Culler, owner of Locust Grove dairy farm, son of John Henry and Amanda L. (Derr) Culler, was born on a farm near Jefferson, Frederick County, Md., August 17, 1868.

Oscar Daniel Culler is a lineal descendant of Michael Culler, (see sketch of his uncle) Millard F. Culler. His great-grandfather was Captain Henry Culler, and his grandfather, Daniel Culler. John Henry Culler, father of Oscar Daniel Culler, was married to Amanda L., daughter of Daniel Derr, who lived two miles north of Middletown, Frederick County, Md. Mr. John H. Culler and his wife reside in Jefferson, Md. Their only surviving child is Oscar Daniel.

Oscar Daniel Culler was born on the farm now owned by A. C. McBride, of Frederick County, Md., and occupied by P. H. Cline, situated about one mile northeast of Jefferson, Md. He grew up on his father’s farm and received his education in the public schools of Jefferson. Mr. Culler worked for his father until the time of his marriage, and has spent the greater part of his life in the cultivation of the soil. After marriage, he farmed the homestead for three years, and then, in 1894, moved to Jefferson and engaged in the manufacture of wire fence. He next returned to the homestead and, after cultivating it for four years, purchased his present home, Locust Grove Dairy. In the spring of 1902, Mr. Culler received the appointment of superintendent of Montevue Hospital. Two years later, when his term of office expired, he settled in Jefferson, where he remained for two years, and then resumed the care of his farm, which had been rented. He has added a large dairy and does an extensive business. Mr. Culler is a stanch Republican, a genial, pleasant gentleman and, as he weighs 385 pounds, enjoys the distinction of being the heaviest man in Frederick County. He is a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Jefferson.

Oscar Daniel Culler was married, February 10, 1891, to Ella V. Feaster, daughter of Jacob and Sarah (Crampton) Feaster, who lived near Jefferson, Md. Mr. Jacob Feaster died February 23, 1882, and his wife, Mrs. Sarah Feaster, died April 15, 1901.
