Afternoon At Congregational Church Charles S. McCully, who was one of the most widely known railroad men on the Dakota Division, passed away at the Northern Pacific hospital at St. Paul at 4:45 o'clock this morning, after an illness of almost a year. Mr. McCully has been suffering with hardening of the arteries and went to the hospital soon after he returned from Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. Mr. and Mrs. McCully spent almost a year with their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. George Williams there. After he had been at the hospital for some time he returned to Jamestown and remained for several weeks and then returned again to St. Paul. Coming to the northwest in 1880 Mr. McCully first worked near Casselton where he built a number of buildings on the Dalyrample [sic-Dalrymple] farm near there. But in the fall he went to Montana and worked there in the lumber woods and finally in 1882 returned to Fargo where he began work on the Northern Pacific at Mapleton in the building and bridge department, he being a carpenter by trade, having learned his trade in his home land, Nova Scotia. For a half century this veteran had spent his time in railroad work, 48 years of which he has been on the Dakota Division, the division including the Fargo Division in the early history of the road. His work may be seen over the entire division for he was foreman for many, many years, having the construction work under his supervision, and having taken that position in 1882. The deceased was born in De Bert [sic-Debert], Nova Scotia, April 24, 1860 and was of Scotch decent [sic-Scottish descent]. He spent his early years in the home land and learned to be a carpenter. The first years in the northwest were spent in real pioneer life for these men who came here at the time of Mr. McCully were not only builders by trade but it was they who helped build cities, towns, and villages, and it is to them and their determination that the great improvements today will forever stand as monuments to them. He was retired May 1, 1930. In 1888, Mr. McCully and Miss Olive Angevine of near Marion, who was also from Nova Scotia, were married. They have made their home in Jamestown since that time. Three daughters [sic] were born to Mr. and Mrs. McCully, Mrs. Joseph Morrissey [Adeline McCully] of Jamestown, Mrs. Don Wanner [Ruth McCully] of Pingree, and Mrs. George Williams [Edna McCully] of Prince George. A brother, Alburn McCully, a sister Mrs. Florence Copeland, both of Oakland, Calif., and a sister, Mrs. Melissa Fulmore in De Bert [sic-Debert] also survive. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Congregational church. Don Wanner went to St. Paul by plane this morning and will bring the body back to Jamestown Saturday morning. He was a member of the A. O. U. W. of the Northern Pacific Veterans and of the Congregational church. The Jamestown Sun Jamestown,ND June 19,1931 FUNERAL SERVICES FOR C. S.
