his hired man, was engaged in clearing timber land and a tree which he was
chopping down fell upon Mr. Michael, fracturing his skull. Mr. Cullman is not
to be censured as he did not see Michael approaching in time to warn him of
danger. He is doing well as could be expected.John Kullman was living in Wheeling at the time of his brother Henry's death in 1934.
