Mrs. Henry C. Cullom, formerly of Springfield, but who has been residing in California for a number of years, died at the home of her daughter, Mr. G. H. Schimpff [sic] in Peoria yesterday morning. Her death was due to heard trouble from which she had suffered for several months. The fatal affliction was first noticed immediately after the San Francisco earthquake, Mrs. Cullom and her husband, a brother of Senator Shelby M. Cullom, being residents of that city at that time.

Following that disaster, her health began to fail and last October Mr. and Mrs. Cullom came east to spend the winter, in the hope that her health might be improved. For the last two months her condition had been serious.

The decedent was born in Fremont, Ill., May 16, 1842, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Freeman H. Kingman. She lived there until she grew to womanhood and after her marriage to Henry C. Cullom made Springfield her home. They moved to Berkeley, Cal., and later to San Francisco.

She is survived by her husband and six children, Mrs. G. H. Schimpff and Mrs. George H. Davis of Peoria, Mrs. Charles Kunze, Harry, Garfield and Freeman Cullom of San Francisco.

The funeral services will be held at Peoria Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Schimpff.
