Tennessean dateline 15 Dec 1965

Joseph Alexander Cullom, co-founder of Cullom & Ghertner Printing, died at age 93. I’d always understood Mr Cullom’s first name was John. This death notice supports the understanding that the firm was founded in 1906. Cullom sold his interest in Cullom & Ghertner to Simon Ghertner in 1926.
