The Southwestern Historical Quarterly
with an account of his later residence and labors for the next
General Catalogue of Princeton students.18 McCullough was a
sound, scholarly preacher. He had not much magnetism in his
manner. He seemed sometimes, as if he was about to go off
into a laugh, while he was preaching. As a companion, he was
genial and pleasant. Our preaching at Galveston was a good deal
peripatetic, for want of a regular place to preach in, until the
first school house was erected. While at Houston, we had the
halls of the Old Capitol to occupy as a regular preaching place.
Rockville, Ind., June 24th, 1880.
Joseph Brown.."-We first met in the Princeton Theological
Seminary, in June, 1835. He graduated that autumn. His
brother William remained another year. Their brother Henry
was in the college the same year. The Kentucky and Virginia
students were apt to be drawn to each other. There were then
about fourteen students from Kentucky and a number from Vir-
ginia.
Joseph Brown was a very serious young man. Not brilliant,
but steady and consistent. He left the Seminary, in Oct., 1835.
We met only once afterwards, in 1860, at the General Assembly,
at Rochester, N. Y. There were four of the Brown brothers
members of that Assembly. Of these James and Joseph have
passed away.
Henry S. Foote.--Henry S. Foote, whose death was recently
announced, visited Texas in 1840. He was a man of immense
talking capacity. He made a very good temperance speech, in
Houston, during his visit there. Temperance was a new subject
in Texas then. I spent a day with him sometime afterward, at
the house of General Thos. J. Green, at Velasco.
8Mr. McCullough's school in Galveston was broken up by the death,
by yellow fever, in 1853, of his two sisters, who were assisting him in
carrying it on. He remained in Galveston for some time afterwards and
then removed not to Eastern Texas, but to Burnet county, where he lived
until 1868. There was no church there and he was not regularly en-
gaged in ministerial work, but continued to preach as opportunity offered.
He was present at the Synod at Columbus, in 1868, and shortly after-
wards removed to Prairie Lea to take charge of a Church, and died a few
days after reaching there with his family. Mr. McCullough married a
second time, in 1851, and left quite a large family who now reside in
Galveston.-Rev. Levi Tenny.
