This next is from a old newspaper article I have on the first Culler Reunion.
The custom of many families to hold annual reunions has been the means of bringing many previously unknown relatives together, all thereby gaining a better knowledge of their memory. The first reunion of the CULLER FAMILY was held at the home of ABRAHAM CULLER near Columbiana, Ohio, on Christmas 1898. At that meeting Abraham Culler was chosen president and Mrs. Joseph Culler secretary. Pine Hollow School grounds, near Elkton, Ohio, was selected as the next meeting to be held on the 2nd of September, 1899. On that morning the weather was very threatening for the occasion; nevertheless at an early hour the CULLER'S and their friends began to gather at Pine Hollow from both ends, and down the sides, so that by noon there were about one hundred present. After greetings were over the ladies busied themselves at a long table, which they soon had bountifully laden, and all were invited to partake of its burden. It did not take long to discover that the CULLER'S were fully up-to-date in the preparation of everything that goes to satisfy the inner man.
After dinner was dispatched all returned to the school building for the transaction of business. In the absence of the president, Joseph Culler was called to the chair. Officers for the next year were elected as follows: Daniel Culler, of Louisville, Ohio president, and Rebecca Culler of Louisville was elected secretary and treasurer. Louisville was selected as the next place of meeting, on the second Saturday August 11, 1900. This meeting took place at the home of Elizabeth (KERN) Culler's home.
In the early settlement of Eastern Ohio, Abraham, David and Isaac Culler with their parents, immigrated from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to this state. Abraham settled in Columbiana County, and in his day was known as one of the best hewers of timber in this part of the state; also an expert at riving and shaving shingles. He raised a large family, whom John, Jacob, Benjamin and Eliza A. Welker, Frank of Berlin Center, Ohio, and Joseph, of East Fairfield, Ohio were present at the reunion. They, with their children and grandchildren, numbered forty three. Of Isaac's descendent but one was present, Mrs. Barbara Bowman, of North Lima. David settled in Stark County and was well represented by descendents from Stark, Carroll and Portage Counties.
After the business session was over all were summoned to the grove again to be served with ice cream. The remainder of the day was spent in social chat, games and reminiscences of bygone days. The evening shades came far to soon when all had to shake the parting hand and depart for their respective homes, feeling glad for their presence and filled with pleasant memories and a closer binding of the ties of friendship, and hopes that they may meet and enjoy many such future happy occasions.
