Catharine Waugh McCulloch

 


Yet another eBay alert opened up a new branch of research this week. Catharine Waugh McCulloch (1862 -1945) was an American lawyer, suffragist, and reformer. She actively lobbied for women's suffrage at the local, state, and national levels as a leader in the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association, Chicago Political Equality League, and National American Woman Suffrage Association. She was the first woman elected Justice of the Peace in Illinois.

Catharine married Frank Hathorn McCulloch, a 3rd generation American Scot. His great, great grandfather was Hathorn McCulloch (1773-1859) who was born in Glasserton, Wigtownshire, Scotland and emigrated to America in 1802.


Catharine and Frank had 4 children: Hugh Waugh, Hathorn Waugh, Catharine Waugh, and (not shown above) Frank Waugh.

Wales & McCulloch

I came across this clock key for sale on eBay apparently for a clock manufactured by "Wales & McCulloch". They seemed to be a London-based firm with a shop at 20 Ludgate Hill. I haven't yet managed to track down who this McCulloch was or where he came from so it's still an unsolved mystery! Any further information about Wales & McCulloch would be gratefully received. And yes.. I did buy the key :)  Edit: Aug 2021  Added a few other beautiful items found online, retailed by Wales & McCulloch: Pair of antique silver caviar trays in original box retailed by Wales & McCulloch A yellow metal Egyptian style brooch,  with scarab beetle type insert in fitted case for Wales and McCulloch A mahogany clock by Wales & McCulloch Edit: June 2023 I found a photograph of their retail premises at Ludgate Hill, dated 3rd June 1906: Looking east down Ludgate Hill towards St Paul's Cathedral. Wales & McCulloch's retail premises can be seen on the far left,...
