Mary the daughter of John R. & Mary Ann [Jarrett] Cullison, Medicine Lodge, Ks. Grand daughter of John C. & Laura Ann [Collier] Cullison, LaNape, Ks. & Medicine Lodge, Ks. Also the Grand daughter of Thomas Lafayette & Nancy Rebecca [Brown] Jarrett, Medicine Lodge, Ks. Info. added by Lloyd Williams Nephew. Mary Cullison Hamilton Mary, otherwise known as Mamie, was born in Medicine Lodge in 1902. She was the oldest of the five living children of John R. Cullison and Mary Ann Jarrett Cullison. Her brothers and sisters were Sylvia, John Sterling, Lora and Ben. Mamie's childhood memory recalls that she had few toys to play with, but she remembers with pride how her Mother taught her to make do with what they had at hand, which was corn cobs and corn stalks. From the corn cobs they made pig pens and pigs, and from the corn stalks her mother taught her to make dogs and dolls to play with. Mamie recalls being quite content with such simple playthings. Relatives from both sides of Mamie's family settled in Medicine Lodge. Her maternal grandfather, Thomas Lafayette Jarrett and his wife, Nancy Rebecca Brown Jarrett, originally came from Georgia to the "west", and in the late 1800's,eventually came to Medicine Lodge. Tom was a carpenter and built a house on the southwest corner of Market and Second Street. (It's still there; but stuccoed). He was a beekeeper and harvested honey by the tubs full. Tom was active in the Salvation Army and was their captain until the Salvation Army Headquarters moved to Wichita after Carrie Nation's death. Mammie's paternal great-grandfather Samuel T. Cullison, born in 1809, originated from Scotland. It was Mamie's grandfather John Louis Cullison who came from Ohio to what is, now, Cullison, Kansas, in 1885 to put in the "Cullison Supply Center". He loved playing the violin and others seemed to enjoy hearing him play it, wherever he went. He sold the "Center" in 1887 to put in a store at Sun City, which he sold in 1890 to put in a furniture store in Medicine Lodge. He lived in Medicine Lodge until he died in 1907 at age 71. Before a railroad was established between Sun City and Medicine Lodge, Mamie's father, John R. Cullison, hauled gyp down from the mine in a wagon pulled by three pair of mules. In 1912 he started a cafe on Main Street across from where the theatre is now. Later he built the Depot Cafe that stood on the northwest corner of Iliff and Kansas Avenue. (The building has since been moved north of that location and is now used for storage.) Mamie's father did a big business there until the flood washed out the railroad between Medicine Lodge and Kiowa. When Mamie was only twelve years old, she worked all alone in her father's cafe cooking, waiting tables, and making change. Later her father made an addition to his home on the southwest cornier of Iliff and Second Street, which served as a grocery store and gasoline station. He ran the Cedar Forks Cabin Camp at that location also. As a young women, Mamie worked as a telephone operator. After she married Fred Hamilton (her partner for 42 years) she seldom worked in public. Mamie always enjoyed crocheting and completed many fine pieces of work. In her retirement she took up painting landscapes as a pastime and while Mamie was able, she enjoyed travel. She is now in a rest home in Colorado, but wherever she may be, her heart stays in Medicine Lodge - it's HOME. Source:Chosen Land - Barber County, Kansas, pg. 214 Submitted by: Mary R.
