George's obituary in the Wayne Herald, Nebraska, February 16, 1905 states, "George W. Culler was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, May 3, 1833, and died at his home in Wayne on the morning of February 10, 1905. When a child of two years he came with his parents to Holmes County, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. In 1858, he was united in marriage with Miss Catherine Hott. To this union eight children, six girls and two boys, were born, all of whom are still living. In 1863, he moved with his wife and young family to Indiana where he settled in an uncleared wilderness. Here he built a home and then enlisted in the 149th regiment, Indiana Volunteers and served under Sherman until the close of the war. Following the war he made several moves, and in 1889 settled in Nebraska. Eleven years ago he came to Wayne where he resided until the time of his death. Brother Culler was a man of sterling character. In 1866, while still in the prime of young manhood, he consecrated his life to the service of God, and during all these years he has consistently striven to be loyal to God and to the world. In all relations of life he has been true to his highest convictions. He was a loyal soldier of the nation and a loyal soldier of Immanuel. He had the confidence of all who knew him and those who knew him best loved him most. The funeral services were held from his home late Sunday last, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Thomas J. Wright, and Casey Post G.A.R. of this city.
