Name	Bernard John Cullen
Born	07 Oct 1881	Templeton Township, Quebec [1]
Gender	Male
Died	14 Sep 1956	Ottawa, Ontario [2]

Notes	Barney was born on the family farm in Templeton Township, Quebec, a few miles northwest of the village of Angers. The L'Ange Gardien parish records show his birth and baptism dates as November 7 and 10, 1884. There is a note which states that the birth and baptism was forgotten to be recorded and that Barney's godmother Catherine, his aunt, certified the details on April 8, 1921. Barney went to school in Angers, but went to church at St. Anthony's in Perkins. Barney's first job was in the warehouse of H.Q. Bates & Sons, wholesale grocers and fruit importers.The location of this company was the site of the present day National Arts Centre on the Rideau Canal. This company went bankrupt, after which Barney joined Prevost & Allard, wholesale grocers, located on York Street in the Market near Sussex Street. When they closed, he joined National Grocers and became a salesman. He developed new grocery business for the company on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River from Hull to Lachute and Buckingham to Notre Dame du Laus. He was bilingual, probably learning French in school and in the neighbourhood. The Company supplied his cars - some of the earliest built. There was a 1918 licence plate on his garage wall. He went from Model T Fords to his last, a 1952 Chevrolet. During the winter he travelled by train and hired horse and sleigh. Barney and Lucy lived in several areas of Ottawa until 1920 when they bought a new home at 124 Noel Street in New Edinburgh, an area bordering Lindenlea and Rockcliffe Village. The house still exists. They later lived at 44 Queen Mary Road in Overbrook. Barney and Lucy are buried in St. Gregoire's cemetery in Buckingham, Quebec.
