Mary Ann Page Capps was the eldest of nine children born to James Allen Capps (1825-1870) and his wife Mary Esther Gardner (1830-1869) of Washington, St. Landry Parish, La. Her father was a riverboat captain. On March 5, 1872 Mary Ann married another steamboat captain, Julius W. McCullough of Huntington, Cabell Co., Va. (later W.Va.). Capt. McCullough brought his bride north to Huntington where they were quickly joined by four children: Patrick Henry (b. 1872), Anna Hope (b. 1875), Julius W. Jr. (b. 1877), and Stanard Buffington (b. 1880).
Mary Ann's granddaughter, Josephine LeSage Snow, recorded a family story: "In 1882 Grandma 'Cullough took all four of her little ones to Louisiana on a visit. They made the trip by steamboat, and visited several weeks among all the kin. On the return trip Grandpa was to meet the boat in Cincinnati and passage was all arranged for them to leave New Orleans on the Golden City. On the day of departure a letter came from Grandpa saying not to take the Golden City, but to wait for the Thomas J. Sherlock. Whether it was because he could not meet that boat, or because of a premonition, the delay saved their lives. The Golden City burned to the water's edge on that very trip north in Memphis Tenn." [Note: The "Golden City" burned on March 25, 1882.]
After the early death of her husband in 1883, Mary Ann McCullough remained in Huntington and raised her four children alone. Around 1916 she moved into the household of her daughter Hope and son-in-law Joseph C. LeSage.
