Transcribed from The Biographical and Historical Record of Wayne and Appanoose Counties Iowa. Originally published 1886.

Hon. George McCULLOCH, MD was born in Benton, Holmes County, Ohio, October 24, 1848, a son of Joseph and Nancy (Miller) McCulloch, who were both natives of Pennsylvania. Our subject was raised on his father's farm, receiving his education in the schools of his neighborhood, and at Millersburg and Hayesville. After completing his education he began the study of medicine with Dr. C. E. Rayburn, of Brooklyn, Iowa, he having come to this state in 1870. In the fall of 1871 he entered Rush Medical College, Chicago, Illinois, with the intention of attending lectures, but the great fire which devastated that city in October of that year destroyed the college. After witnessing this, one of the greatest fires, he removed to Michigan, attending lectures in the medical department of the Michigan State University at Ann Arbor. The following year he entered Rush Medical College, of Chicago, Illinois, from which institution he graduated February 19, 1873, with the degree of M.D. On leaving his Alma Mater he went to Malcolm, Poweshiek County, Iowa, remaining there but a short time. In the fall of that same year he came to Humeston, Wayne County, being the pioneer physician of this city, where he is still engaged in the practice of his chosen profession. Possessed of rare mental abilities he is unusually skilled in the knowledge of his profession, and among the medical men of this and the southwest part of Iowa, he ranks with the highest.

The doctor married October 14, 1879, to Drucilla D Maxwell, a native of Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio, and this union has been blessed with one child - Milan E., born January 5, 1883. Dr. McCulloch served as a member of the Nineteenth General Assembly of Iowa, having been elected on the Republican ticket. He is the owner of 440 acres of land in Richman township, which is a part of 800 acres of land which his father entered in an early day. He is interested in fine graded cattle, and has started a herd of Poll-Angus stock on his farm. He is also a partner of Captain J D Hasbrouck in the Home Bank of Humeston. Dr McCulloch is a prominent member of Fidelity Lodge No 228, A F & A M, and of Chappaqua Lodge No 121, I O O F, of Humeston.
