MEMOIRS OF LOUISIANA. .221
Richard McCulloh Donaldsonville, La., district attorney for Ascension parish, has been 4 life-
long citizen of the place, born February 17, 1860. His parents, William J. and ElizabethBerce-
4ea . McCnlloh, were natives of Maryland and Louisiana, respectively. The father was a prominent
an influential man, and held several of the highest offices in the gift of the people of his parish. It
was through his interposition that the records of the parish were not burned during the war. He
was drowned in lake Pontchartrain in 1878, and his wife died in 1877. In 1880 Mr. McCulloh began
the practice of law, having been. graduated from the law department of the University of New
Orleans. He was closely occupied with professional work until 1888, when he was elected to the
office of district attorney for Ascension parish. For two years be was a member of the town council,
and two years he served as deputy clerk of the district court. He is a man of excellent ability, and
the people of the parish have done well in confiding to him duties of district attorney. In 1881 he
was married to Miss Bertha Bercege�y, a daughter of O. and Aueustine (Lnesen)_Hercegeay_, who was
born in 1863. Three children have been born to this union, two of whom are deceased. Mr.
McCnlloh is a member of the A. T. O., the Knights of Pythias, and the Knights of Honor; he is also
president of the Phoanix Fire company, of Donaldsonville. Mrs. McCulloh is a member of the Roman
Catholic church.. •
. B. MCCutChOn, X -D. The value to any community -of a professional man is not -marked-
merely by his learning and skill, his proficiency in medical and surgical practice, but also by' his
character, both private and professional, his honorable adherence to medical ethics and his personal
integrity and benevolence of purpose. When a physician combines these ebaracteristice, it is with
great pleasure that we record his life work, and such a man is found in Dr. McCutchon, of New
Orleans. He was born in Pass Christian, Miss., in 1852, and obtained his Iiterary education at the
Virginia Military institute, Lexington, Va., from which be graduated in 1873. For two years there-
after he served in the capacity of assistant professor of tactics and Latin in his alma mater, during
which time he gave special study to chemistry, and in 1875 began the study of medicine in the Uni-
versity of Louisiana, at New Orleans. He was admitted as a resident student to the Charity hospital
in 1877, and in 1879 graduated with the degree of M. D. He became assistant demonstrator of
anatomy in the medical department for two years, and also served at one time as visiting surgeon of
the Charity hospital. He is secretary of the State Medical association, a position he has held since
1883, and he was for one term president of the Orleans Parish Medical society. In 1886 he married
Annie Salkeld, youngest daughter of Edward Davis and Eliza Salkeld. The McCutehons are an old
Louisiana family and in St. Charles parish of this state the father of the subject of this sketch
was born. He and his wife are spending their latters days at Pass Christian, Miss.
Thomas McDermott, sugar, rice and molasses dealer, of New Orleans, La., is a gentleman of
mature experience, thoroughly posted in all the wants and requirements of his business, and he is
one of the most active and efficient trade representatives in the Crescent city. He commands all the
advantages naturally accumulated by long years of identification with a special line of trade, and his
strict honesty, promptness and general business abilities are unquestioned. ' He was born in the
beautiful isle of Erin in 1827, but about forty years since, left the land of his birth to come to
America, and in the city of New Orleans be completed his education. Upon starting out for himself,
he first entered the employ of Col. R. S. Morse, proprietor of the old city hotel, with whom he
remained fourteen years; after which he embarked in, the sugar, rice and molasses business- on the
levees of the Mississippi river. Many years afterward, when Colonel Morse became a sugar planter,
w he made Mr. McDermott his merchant. The latter has been an exceptionally successful business
man, and has always been in business alone. Socially he belongs to the Irish -American club, the
Pickwick club, is a director in the Traders' bank, and is prominent in several social clubs. He hAs
been a director in the Sugar exchange for a number of years, and has been a member of the same
since its organization. He is in sympathy with the Catholic church. Mr. McDermott is remarkable
for- his neatness in dress, and for his courteous and gentlemanly manners, as well as for the ability he
N has displayed in the management of his business affairs. He is .well known in commercial circles,
- and is held in the most favorable repute, owing to his enterprise and his upright business methods.
Among the sons of Canada who have brought with them to this southern land the sturdy habits
of independence, integrity and industry which have ever marked the career of the Canadian, we are
gratified to be able to name John S. McDonald, who, besides being extensively engaged in machinery
business, is the inventor of the automatic hydraulic pressure regulator used extensively and
i successfully in sugar mills. His birth occurred in the city of Toronto, September 3, 1829, to Peter
and Mary J. McDonald, of Edinborough and- Glasgow, Scotland, respectively. This worthy couple
were married in the land of their birth, and in early life they braved the stormy ocean to Canada,
