of Sherman & Commonwealth (later to become the Strathmere
Motel)
Mr.McCullough passed away on his 71st birthday in 1948. He was still working as a traveling auditor for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He passed away, while doing his job and riding on the Buffalo-Phila train. Mrs. McCullough passed away in her Strathmere home in 1950 after a very bad NE storm hit Strathmere. Her death had a traumatic affect on the McCullough family. They were unable to get her body out of the home for several days because of the damage of the storm. Daughter Nancy McCullough Weaver had died suddenly of viral pneumonia at Surf Hospital in Sea Isle in 1948. The 3 sudden deaths along with the 2 major storms in less than 6 years were a big part of the remaining McCulloughs deciding to sell their homes and move away from Strathmere in 1951.
