From a History of Washington County, MD compiled by T. J. C. Williams:
The Rev. M. C. Culler was, for a time, a pastor at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Hagerstown, Md. He received a unanimous call, March 1, 1867. He was an earnest and devout preacher of the Gospel and a zealous pastor. He added sixty-four to the membership of the church in the two years and nine months of his pastorate. The church property was repaired, the benevolent offerings were much increased, and the spirit of the church love was more largely manifested."
His obituary in the Frederick News-Post, Frederick Maryland, Monday, August 17, 1925.
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther Culler, a native of this county, died in Washington on August 10. He was born near Jefferson on October 13, 1839, and was aged 85 years, 9 months and 27 days at the time of his death. He was buried in Fairview Cemetery, Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, August 12. His parents were Daniel and Ann Mariah (Hargett) Culler. He was baptized in 1840 by Rev. Mr. Wachter and confirmed by Rev. Edwin Dorsey as a member of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Jefferson, in 1857.
He was born in the famous Middletown Valley which enjoys the unrevealed distinction of furnishing 49 ministers to the Lutheran Church, many of whom were prominent in her service. Dr. Ezra Keller was the founder of Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio, in 1845; and Dr. D. F. Bittle, of Roanoke College in Virginia in 1853. Dr. D. F. Bittle was prominent in the reorganization of North Carolina College and __ ___ president 1855-61; Dr. C. A. Stork was President of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; and Dr. D. S. Floyd died a few years ago as Professor of Theology at Susquechanpa University, Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania.
Dr. Culler was prepared for college in a private school at Jefferson, conducted by Prof. David Sprecher, brother of Dr. Samuel Sprecher, long president of Wittenberg College. In 1858 he entered Pennsylvania College and graduated in 1862. He graduated at the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg in 1861. Being in the Seminary at the same time of the battle there, he spent the best part of that terrible three days in a neighboring cellar to escape the storm of shot and shell that was rained upon the town. Later, he was present when Lincoln delivered his wonderful Gettysburg address, so close that he could hear distinctly every word of it.
He was licensed by the East Pennsylvania Synod, October 8, 1864, at Lehanon, Pennsylvania, and ordained by the Central Synod of Pennsylvania, June 8, 1865, at New Berlin, Pennsylvania. He served the Duncannon pastorate of six congregations, 1865-1867, and the Williamsport, Maryland, charge consisting of two congregations, 1867-1869. He was pastor of St. John's Martinsburg, West Virginia, 1869-1881, during which time 350 new members were added to the congregation and of St. John's, Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, 1881-1890, where he did most excellent work. He was pastor at Apollo, Pennsylvania, 1890-1897. Bedford, Pennsylvania, 1897-1910; with most encouraging results.
In 1910 he retired from the work of the active pastorate, removing to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he did supply work as opportunity presented until about 1919, when it was felt that the time had come for a more quiet life. Since that time, he had been making his home with his daughters, Mrs. W. S. Wood and Miss Nelie Culler in Boston and Washington, D.C.
Dr. Culler lived in a day when there were big men in the Lutheran pulpit, and he easily took his place among them as a sincere, effective and compelling Gospel preacher. The period in which he lived was a portent, formative period in the history of the church, and to which he made rich contribution in consecration, scholarship and service. He was always kind and courteous, a Christian gentleman, and lived a noble life.
He was married October 26, 1865, to Miss Mary Jane Floyd of Jefferson, to which union five children were born as follows: Mrs. Pauline Wood, Nellie Floyd, Vida Luther, D. Floyd and Robert M. Culler. His wife, D. Floyd and Vida Luther preceded him in death and are buried in the beautiful cemetery at Mercersburg where his remains are now interred.
Dr. Culler was honored with many offices in the church in his connection with it through half a century, as president and secretary of Synods, and fraternal delegate to other synods and to the General bodies. He represented the Allegheny Synod on the Board of Trustees of Susquehanna University 1899-1913 and was honored with the tittle of D. D. by that institution. He was also a director of the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. He was the author of numerous tracts, pamphlets and historical sketches, and frequent contributor to the church papers and Theological Quarterlies.
