They lived several miles from us. I think perhaps Thelma or Marian, daughters of Emmett Culpepper, fell heir to this. I do not recall which one. Somewhere along the line it was thought to be very valuable - perhaps a Stradivarius."

Biography* Although the obituary notice gives James W. Culpepper's date of birth as 12 Aug 1870 and the 1900 census notes the birth in August 1870, his brother, Thomas J. Culpepper, in a 3 Aug 1969 report, gives James W. Culpepper's date of birth as 18 Aug 1869 and he was noted in the 1870 census as nine months old. James W. Culpepper was a solicitor at the City Court of Fayetteville, GA from 18 Jun 1905 to 20 Dec 1906. He also represented Fayette County in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1919/20 through 1946.
      Mrs. Eleanor Culpepper Willingham wrote the following: Uncle Wes, as I have said, was a lawyer. His daughter, Mae, lost a bedspread at the laundry. They would not pay her for it so she asked her dad to write them a letter about it. He, at first, refused to deal with such a petty thing, but finally said "Well, Mae, I will write the letter for you. It's true I am a lawyer, but I am not a "bed-spread lawyer."
      The following memorial to James Wesley Culpepper appeared on pp. 149-151 of the History of Fayette Co, GA: Mr. Chairman: Your committee to prepare the memorial on the life of Honorable James Wesley Culpepper, of the bar of this Court, begs leave to submit the following report: James Wesley Culpepper was born August 12, 1870, in Meriwether County, Georgia. He was the son of Simeon Fletcher Culpepper and Ellen Nall Culpepper. His father was a Confederate veteran and had served as a teacher in the common schools of Meriwether County, as tax collector of that county, and for twenty-five years as Clerk of the Superior Court of that county. Both parents were pioneer Georgia stock. Mr. Culpepper was educated in the Meriwether County schools and attended high school at Grantville, Georgia, and at Rockford, Alabama. He also attended the University of Nashville, now Peabody College, at Nashville, Tennessee. For about fifteen years Mr. Culpepper taught school, first at Concord in Pike County, then at Inman and Woolsey in Fayette County. Many of the most prominent citizens of Fayette County were in his classes. He studied law in the offices of Judge Walter Daly and Aldine Chambers in Atlanta, took the bar examination, and was admitted to practice in 1905. He was married December 3, 1892, to Sarah Pickens Taylor, the daughter of Dr. Joel Pickens Taylor and Rebecca Hodnett Taylor, of Coweta County. Mrs. Culpepper died in 1948. They had four daughters, Mrs. B. D. Murphy, Miss Mae Culpepper, Mrs. W. E. Greer, and Mrs. A. M. Bowen. Mr. Culpepper was a member of the Lutheran Church and a staunch Democrat. He was a Mason, a Knight Templar and an Odd Fellow. Shortly before his admission to the bar, Mr., Culpepper moved from Inman to Fayetteville. He was elected Mayor of Fayetteville and served in that capacity in 1906 and 1907. He became Solicitor of the City Court of Fayetteville almost immediately after his admission to the bar, and served in that capacity until December 20, 1906. He was elected to the House of Representatives from Fayette County in 1918 and served as Fayette County's Representative in the General Assembly for fourteen consecutive terms--a total of twenty-eight years. His record of continuous service exceeded that of any other member of the Georgia legislature. Mr. Culpepper served in the House of Representatives during the administrations of Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, Governor Thomas W. Hardwick, Governor Clifford Walker, Governor L. G. Hardman, Governor Richard B. Russell, Jr., Governor Eugene Talmadge, Governor E. D. Rivers, and Governor Ellis Arnall. During his service in the General Assembly, Mr. Culpepper filled every important committee assignment available to a member. He served several terms as Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, several times as Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, and as Chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Amendments, and the important Judiciary Committees. During the last administration of Governor Eugene Talmadge, he was administration floor leader of the House of Representatives. He served as a member of the Commission provided for by resolution of the General Assembly to revise the Constitution of Georgia of 1877, which later became the Constitution of Georgia of 1945. Mr. Culpepper's service as a member of the House of Representatives was noteworthy. During his entire service of twenty-eight consecutive years, he introduced only one local bill. He introduced a great many bills of statewide import, mostly administration measures, for which his support was sought by the Governor in office. It has many times been said that for many years he was the most influential member of the General Assembly. This influence resulted from his wide knowledge of the affairs of the State of Georgia and from the knowledge of his colleagues that he sought always for the accomplishment of those things which were best for all of the people of the State. Governors, constitutional officers, judges and legislators uniformly had and expressed complete confidence in his ability, his knowledge, and his beneficent measures--for during his service no major piece of legislation was entered upon the statute books without in some way bearing the imprint of his thinking--but he was also instrumental in preventing the enactment of many unwise measures. It was often said that Culpepper of Fayette killed more bad bills than all of the other members of the House combined. Mr. Culpepper was the author of the first cigar and cigarette tax measure, which was designed originally to provide funds to pay Confederate pensions. He was instrumental in enacting the legislation now of force under which Georgia's system of State Highways has been constructed, and he brought about almost single handedly the enactment of the laws relating to the State budget. One of the measures of which he was proudest was the so-called "grandfather clause," which brings about an automatic annual balancing of the State budget. It was originally a part of a general appropriations act, but the framers of the Constitution of 1945 made it a part of that document. Mr. Culpepper's career at the bar was outstanding. Soon after his admission to the bar he became one of the leading lawyers in this section of the State. He practiced not only in Fayette County, but in all of the surrounding counties and throughout the State of Georgia, both in State and Federal Courts. For many years he was in every case of importance on the docket of Fayette Superior Court. Notwithstanding the fact that he was one of the most successful trial lawyers in the State, he was even more useful to his clients and to the people generally in counsel and conference. Just as he prevented the passage of many bad bills in the Georgia legislature, by his fine judgment and good counsel he prevented the institution of many bad law suits in court. He was respected by judges and jurors. He was beloved by his fellow members of the bar, by his clients and a host of Georgians. Mr. James Wesley Culpepper died October 10, 1954. His death leaves a vacancy in our number which cannot be filled. We join with the court and the people of Fayette County, as well as the people of the entire State, in mourning his passing. We recommend that this memorial be filed with the court and that the court, by appropriate order, direct that it be spread upon the minutes of the court. _________________________________/s/Lester Dickson _________________________________/s/F.A.

      The following obituary appeared in The Atlanta Constitution on Monday, 11 Oct 1954: Fayette's J. W. Culpepper, Legislator, Dies at 84 James Wesley Culpepper, 84-year-old prominent Fayetteville attorney who probably set a record for continuous service in the Georgia Legislature, died in an Atlanta hospital at 4:30 a.m. Sunday. Known affectionately by friends and political opponents as "The Fox From Fayette," Mr. Culpepper was as effective in scuttling legislation he considered to be bad for the people as he was in passing bills which he considered to be in the best interest of Georgians. He served 28 years continuously as representative from near-by Fayette County before he voluntarily retired in 1945. He was floor leader during the administrations of the late Gov. Eugene Talmadge. Over the years, Mr. Culpepper headed all the important committees of the House -- including the Ways and Means, the Appropriations, and the Constitutional Amendment Committees. MANY KEY BILLS The Veteran legislator's last contribution to the General Assembly and the State was his help in rewriting the state Constitution in 1945. He was a member of the committee to revise the Constitution, as well as chairman of the House Constitutional Amendments Committee. During his tenure from 1918 through 1943, Mr. Culpepper was author of many important pieces of legislation. Well-known throughout this section as an attorney, Mr. Culpepper had practiced law for 50 years in Fayette County. He taught school for 15 years. SERVED AS MAYOR In addition to being a legislator, Mr. Culpepper served a term as mayor of Fayetteville in 1906, and solicitor of the City Court the previous year. Born Aug. 12, 1870, in Meriwether County, Mr. Culpepper attended the University of Nashville, and was admitted to the Bar in 1905. He was a Lutheran, a Democrat, Mason, Knight Templar and an Odd Fellow. Surviving Mr. Culpepper are four daughters, Mrs. B. D. Murphy, Mrs. W. E. Greer and Miss Mae Culpepper, all of Fayetteville, and Mrs. A. M. Bowen of Newnan; a sister, Mrs. D. O. Phillips of Atlanta; brother, T. J. Culpepper of Atlanta, and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at the Fayetteville Methodist Church 4 p.m. Monday.
.
An excerpt from a 1996 column by Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist and former editor Jim Minter:
.
"To get a new constitution, Gov. Ellis Arnall had to have the support of Col. J.W. Culpepper , the Fayette Fox, a power in the House of
Representatives, boss of all the important committees, floor leader for Gene Talmadge.
" 'They say Tom Murphy holds the House in the palm of his hand,' (Peachtree City resident) Floy Farr chuckles. 'He's not close to the way Mr. Culpepper dominated it.'
.
"Knowing he couldn't get a new constitution over Mr. Culpepper 's
opposition, Gov. Arnall drove to Fayetteville. At the time, Fayette County had only 7 1/2 miles of paved road, from the Courthouse Square to Jonesboro.
.
"Mr. Culpepper proposed a compromise. If the governor would pave Ga. 85, he would support a new constitution. Arnall agreed. However, The Atlanta Constitution, as is its habit, began to sniff around the deal. "Gov. Arnall, Mr. Culpepper and Mr. Charlie Redwine, fearing the Constitution was about to make the agreement public, paid a visit to Clark Howell, the newspaper's owner and publisher. The Constitution got on somebody else's case. We got a paved road, which we needed; the people of Georgia got a new constitution, which they needed; and the publisher of the Constitution got a road named for him, which he deserved."

Biography* The following appeared on p. 16 of The Atlanta Constitution Tuesday, 2 Nov 1948, just a week before the death of Mrs. J. W. Culpepper: Tribute Is Paid Mrs. Culpepper Mrs. J. W. Culpepper, of Fayetteville, one of the most beloved members of Georgia Division UDC, was signally honored at the recent convention in Waycross when her chapter presented a beautiful sterling silver vase to the Georgia Division, to be awarded annually, to the UDC Chapter doing the greatest work for the Children of the Confederacy. Mrs. Culpepper has attended many general conventions, but due to ill health she has not been able to attend since the Jackson, Miss., convention in 1946. She took part in Jackson, in the Grand March at the Children of the Confederacy Page's Ball, and has always stressed the great importance of C. of C. work, realizing that the children of today are daughters of tomorrow. Mrs. Hill Redwine, former President of the UDC Chapter at Fayetteville, and lifelong friend of Mrs. Culpepper, made the presentation of the "Sally Taylor Culpepper Vase," and paid loving tribute to this real Daughter of the Confederacy, who gave so many years of untiring work to her beloved organization.

Biography* According to a daughter, Mrs. Eleanor Culpepper Willingham, Homer Lee Culpepper was nicknamed "Coot." In a 13 Jul 1984 letter, Eleanor added that Homer "taught at Gay in 1902." The following entry appears on p. 343 The Story of Georgia HOMER LEE CULPEPPER --In occupying the office of tax commissioner for Meriwether County, Homer Lee Culpepper is upholding an illustrious family tradition. His father and grandfather both served in this department and were prominent figures in the affairs of their surroundings. Prior to assuming this position Mr. Culpepper had served as superintendent of schools in Meriwether County and also engaged in farming and the dairy business, occupations which he still pursues with success. He has also devoted much of his life to the breeding of purebred July fox hounds and in this capacity has won wide renown throughout the State. As a resident of the city of Greenville Mr. Culpepper has been an active leader in social and civic affairs Mr. Culpepper was born in Meriwether County November 3, 1871, the son of S. F. and Ellen (Nall) Culpepper, both natives of his birthplace. His father, who engaged in farming throughout his life, served as tax collector and county clerk for twenty years. His grandfather, George W. Culpepper, a native of South Carolina who came to this State and engaged in farming, also served in this capacity for a number of years. Mr. Culpepper's mother was the daughter of Nathan Nall who came to this State from South Carolina. Mr. Culpepper received the early part of his general education in the country schools of Meriwether County and after completing this part of his studies entered the Peabody Normal College and later the old Roch College at Athens. Upon finishing his academic training he began a career in the teaching profession that he was to pursue for a number of years. His first position in this connection was as superintendent of schools in Grantville, where he remained for one year. He occupied the same position in Hogansville for two years, in Morgan for one year and then became superintendent of schools in Meriwether County, continuing in this position for several years. He then entered the dairy business and after conducting this enterprise for five years was named tax collector in 1921. When the office of tax commissioner was created he was elected to the new post and has continued since with outstanding distinction and success. Throughout this period of his life he has maintained his interest in farming, and the poultry and dairy business. An avocation, the breeding of foxhounds, which he started as a hobby when he was a young man eighteen years of age and which he has continued for the past forty-six years, has gained him wide renown in hunting and sporting circles of the State. During this time he has maintained a kennel of thoroughbreds that has always been an object of admiration. Through his deep interest in this hobby he has become a recognized authority and has been solicited to write many articles on foxhounds and fox-hunting for the leading sporting journals of this section. As a recognized leader in the Methodist Episcopal Church in this community, Mr. Culpepper has been the guiding spirit in the erection of the Memorial Church now under construction, which is being built in honor and to the memory of Dr. Young J. Allen, famous missionary in China who was a native of this county. He also has served as superintendent of the Sunday school here for many years. In his fraternal affiliations he is a member of Lone Oak Lodge, No. 415. Free and Accepted Masons, where he is a Royal Arch Mason and Knight Templar. Politically, he supports the Democratic party. On June 2, 1902, Mr. Culpepper married Dora Herring, daughter of J. S. Herring of Meriwether County, and they are the parents of two daughters....
      Homer L. Culpepper took out the following ad in an unknown newspaper on 3 Jan 1934: To The People of Meriwether County: The last Legislature passed a bill consolidating the offices of Tax Collector and Tax Receiver of Meriwether county. The bill provides for a Tax Commissioner to perform the duties of both offices, but to receive only the pay of the Tax Collector as provided under the old law. Under this bill, the compensation formerly allowed to the Tax Receiver under the old law, goes into the County Treasury. This Act becomes effective January 1, 1934 and provides that the Tax Collector then in office and commission shall serve as Tax Commissioner until January 1, 1937. A new Tax Commissioner shall be elected at the General Election of 1936 to take office January 1, 1937. I had nothing whatever to do with the introduction or with the passage of this law, either directly or indirectly. Under the express terms of the law, as the present Tax Collector elected by the people of Meriwether county, I am entitled under its provisions to serve as Tax Commissioner until January 1, 1937. I am advised, and believe, that this provision is legal and valid. However, I am perfectly willing for the people to elect a Tax Commissioner to serve until the next regular term begins. For that reason, I hereby waive the legal right I have for this office under the Act of the Legislature. I have trust and confidence in the combined and impartial judgement of the people, and I do not desire to hold this office unless a majority of the people of the county are willing for me to do so. I have requested the Ordinary of Meriwether county to call a special election for the purpose of electing a Tax Commissioner. I will be a candidate for the office at any special election, or primary election, that may be called. Grantville, Georgia, R. F. D. (Lone Oak). This January 3, 1934 ___________________________Respectfully, ___________________________H. L. Culpepper
      Homer L. Culpepper continued to hold the office of Tax Commissioner until 1948. During this time, it was his job to collect taxes from President Franklin D. Roosevelt who sent the following letter: ______________________Warm Springs ________________________Georgia _____________________________________April 2 Dear Mr. Culpepper,
      I sent the tax bill to the office of the Ga. Warm Springs Foundation last Wednesday, together with check for my own taxes. You should receive both checks by tomorrow. _____________________________________Very truly yours _________________________________/s/ Franklin Roosevelt
      The following related article is from an unknown source: Roosevelt Pays Georgia Taxes Greenville, Ga., Jan 8 (AP)-- Franklin D. Roosevelt's Georgia farm tax was marked paid in full today. Tax Commissioner Homer Culpepper of Meriwether county said the President paid $331 on about 1,000 acres of improved farm land. In adjoining Harris county Tax Collector W. I. Hudson said Mr. Roosevelt paid $30.52 on 884 acres of unimproved property. "He is never delinquent," said Commissioner Culpepper. The chief executive paid his Harris county tax by personal check.
Culpepper said the Meriwether payment was among several checks received from the Warm Springs foundation. The Meriwether payment represented levies on the little White House on Warm Springs and a farm nearby.
      Mr. and Mrs. Homer L. Culpepper also received an invitation to attend the marriage of Franklin D. Roosevelt's son, Elliott, which took place Saturday, 16 Jan 1932, at Bryn Mawr, PA.
      Homer L. Culpepper wrote an article about fox hunting which appeared in an unknown paper: Fox Inspires Tale of Chase By Vet Hunter H. L. Culpepper Pays Tribute to Cunning of Favorite Red. GREENVILLE, Ga., Jan 17.--I have dedicated the story of this chase to Judge Samuel Atkinson, of the supreme court of Georgia. I do this because the judge loves hounds and hunting. The judge will not object to this because the race was pulled off by the type of hounds he especially admires. This type comes down from a strain developed and perpetuated by men whose names will live for all time not only in Meriwether county, but also throughout Georgia and the entire Southland. I refer to Major McCaslin, Captain "Boss" Woodward, Colonel Jim Sutton, J. A. McKnight, "Fox Hunting" Henry Harris, and Charles A. Davis. These men were noted for their gentlemanly qualities at all times and on all occasions. They were cautious that their hounds should carry blood lines of their liking. They loved to tell that the hounds they owned came down from "Old Jeff Davis," Longstreet and the Birdsong strain. The hounds in this hunt have that same dash, speed, stamina and fox sense usually found in their noted ancestors. The race occurred recently where there is a wonderfully good running red fox well trained in the art of outwitting the hounds pursuing him. It is an enjoyment to observe his wits against the skill of the hounds. This particular fox had been chased so often that it was hard for the hounds to find him quickly. HOUNDS SCATTER On the hunt, which was at night, the hounds were scattered over a wide area, each trying to search the fox out. Finally one hound found him out and gave voice. He was soon joined by one, then another, until five were on the scent. In about 10 minutes they had him up and going. The going was fast. They ran east for one and a half miles, thence north for about a mile, passing through a little village along its main street, waking up many folks. Some of the villagers ran out into their yards and some on the porches to hear this grandest of all music, the voices of the hounds. The next day we hurried back for another chase. We were up the road west of the village and could hear excited voices commenting on the race. The fox was being so closely pressed that he had to leave the road, but came near the spot where we were waiting. He dodged around a small clump of timber and swung off to the south, making it back to his homeland, a 300-acre pasture. Here the part of the pack that had been making a search for him joined in with the original five. These five had been running him for 40 minutes. These fresh hounds added new life to the race. The fox now tried one of his famous tricks. He ran a circle several hundred yards around for five distinct trips, the purpose of which was to fill up the place with his scent so that he could spring off to one side and cause the hounds to make possibly one or two extra rounds while he was making his getaway. As it happened, one hound was running on the flank of the pack and found where he had make his spring out to get the lead he had planned. This surprised him. This flank running hound was so excited that he had no difficulty in swinging the pack in on the line of scent. There was nothing to do but for the fox to make a run for it. He pulled into a timbered section and went straight away, going southwest and on out of hearing. After 40 minutes he came back from a southeasterly direction and into the pasture again. This time he made several circles, hoping by doing so to get some advantage; however, the hounds were determined. They played with him. The notes ringing out from them then indicated "caught fox." His former experiences made him realize this. There was only one alternative, and that was for him to make for his burrow. This he did but barely so. This was a three-hour race and a fast one all the time. GREAT RUNNER. I have had the hounds after him in the daylight. They hole him in about half the time it takes at night. They have put him in places where he could easily have been gotten out, but never will I do this. He is such a fine runner and really seems to enjoy having the hounds chase him. Then, too, he appears to be glad to entertain folks because he often runs up close enough for you to see him. He is an unusually large fox, as big as an ordinary dog. Foxhunters know that the same class and type of race is not had every time a hunt is tried out. However, this was a race which you can rehearse over and over again. Here is hoping that all of my hunting friends have an occasional chase like this. The following is from a 7 Jun 1997 letter from Mrs. Wayne (Rosalind Johnson) Edmondson: I would like to mention about Uncle Homer Culpepper, Margaret and Eleanor's father; he was he closest thing to a grandfather that my sister, brother and I had since both my grandfathers died long before I came along. We lived in the George Green Culpepper house from 1946 until 1954 which was across the road from Uncle Homer and Aunt Dora. There was a long sandy walk way in front of their house and as children we would play in the sand looking for doodle bugs and such. Uncle Homer sat on the porch with his f ly swatter, killing flies and singing ditties and telling stories to us as we played. He was an avid fox hunter and had quite a reputation of raising fox hounds. One of my fondest memories that I am sure very few people of my age ever experienced was getting to go on one of the fox hunts one night. Uncle Homer had a farm with an old vacant farm house that had a working fireplace and had some hay stored in it. Mother built a fire in the fi replace and we bedded down on the hay pile while the men built a fire outside. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and drank Cokes and told ghost stories. Once the dogs were turned loose and began the chase, the men stood around the fire calling out the dogs names as they heard them running the fox. I'm sure it wouldn't sound so exciting to the kids today, but to an 8 year old in 1949 before TV and such, it was plenty exciting.

Allen, of Greenville, paid a tribute to Mr. Culpepper during the service and said in part: "I have known him in his official capacity as Tax Commissioner of our county during the Republican Administrations from 1921 to 1933. Trying years when our homes and lands were under mortgage, and our growing crops under lien. He stood as a rock in a weary land, between the taxing authorities and the people; and without regard to his own security or the security of his family he patiently and silently took the blame and criticism for uncollected taxes. His faith in people and his courage literally saved thousands of homes and farms in Meriwether County, and to this hour, his name is a benediction around the hearth stones in the homes of our people."
      The following appears to be a fuller version of the tribute given by Col. W. S. Allen on June 7, 1951. It was attributed to "Jack" Allen and was printed in an unknown source: TRIBUTE TO HON. CULPEPPER During a long and somewhat stormy life, I have been honored and blessed with the friendship of many loyal friends. Here lies one of the noblest of them all--Homer L. Culpepper. I have known him in his official capacity as Tax Commissioner of our County during the Republican Administrations from 1921 to 1933. Trying years when our homes and lands were under mortgage, and our growing crops under lien. He stood as a rock in a weary land, between the taxing authorities and the people, and without regard to his own security or the security of his family he patiently and silently took the blame and criticism for uncollected taxes. His faith in people and his courage literally saved thousands of homes and farms in Meriwether County, and to this hour, his name is a benediction around the hearth stone in the homes of our people. I have known him, best of all, as a faithful and loyal friend who never offered excuses or alibis, who never asked for a vacation or furlough, who gave his all to his friends without question, without stint, without omit, and with no thought of possible reward. Yes, I have known him, admired him, and loved him all these years, for all of these things, and I shall miss him and mourn him as long as my own life shall last, and I shall never again visit this little community, but what I shall find, myself longing for the touch of that vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still. Today we shall lay his body in the bosom of the soil he loved so well for its long rest, but we know that his Spirit has already taken up its residence in his Father's house, in that land where we never grow old. To me, Mr. Homer's love of nature and of his home are expressed in this old, old poem: When the grilling day is over and the sun is going down; when the shades of night are falling on the country and the town; when the whippoorwill is calling and the fox begins to roam; when the mocking bird is dozing--then I want to be at home. When the storm cloud's in the offing and the mighty thunders roll; when the lightening cleaves the heavens and the squirrel hunts his hole; when a sickening, inky blackness shades the azure dome; when the storm breaks in its fury--then I want to be at home. When the pink rosebuds are swinging so gently in the breeze and the glorious sun is shining on the warblers in the trees; when the air is perfume-laden and the summer days have come; when all nature seems ablooming--then I want to be at home. When the winter snows are drifting in the icy, cutting gale; when the winter wind is moaning a lonesome forlorn wail; with icicles on the barn roof like teeth in a mammoth comb; when the sparrows beg their breakfast then I want to be at home. When life is nearly over, when I cross(?) the great divide, listening to the ____ calling me from the other side; when the last great call is sounded and my final day has come there's one prayer that I would offer--then I want to be at home.

Biography* Esther Theodora Herring was known as "Dora." Mrs. Eleanor Culpepper Willingham noted, in a 2 Jan 1986 letter, that "my mother always told me that 'procrastination is the thief of time.'" The following obituary is from an unknown source, possibly The Atlanta Constitution: Mrs. Culpepper, Meriwether Leader Dies Constitution State News Service HOGANSVILLE--Mrs. Homer L. Culpepper, 87, member of a pioneer Meriwether County family died Wednesday in a La Grange hospital. Mrs. Culpepper, who lived in the Lone Oak community, was active in the county's social, civic and political life. Her deceased husband served as Tax commissioner of Meriwether County for 28 years. She was a graduate of GSCW in the class of 1895 and formerly taught school in Newnan, Grantville and Columbus. Funeral services will be held at 2 p. m. Friday in Allen Lee Memorial Methodist Church, Lone Oak, with the Revs. George Davis and Harry Long officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery with McKibben Funeral Home in charge. Surviving are two daughters, Miss Margaret Culpepper and Mrs. Albert Willingham, both of Lone Oak.
      Another obituary appeared in the Meriwether Vindicator on Friday 12 Jun 1959: Beloved Citizen Dies at Lone Oak On Wednesday, June 3, the Lone Oak community was saddened by the passing of Mrs. Homer L. Culpepper. As her tired spirit left her frail body she fell asleep "as one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams." Formerly Esther Theodora Herring, she was born April 2, 1872, in Coweta county. She was the daughter of the Late Louise Ellie [read Ellis] Herring and James Stokes Herring. Mrs. Culpepper attended Newnan public school and was graduated from GSCW at Milledgeville in the class of 1859 [read 1895]. She taught in the schools of Grantville, Newnan, Columbus, and Hogansville. On June 26, 1902, she married Homer Lee Culpepper of Lone Oak, and the remainder of her life was spent in this community. While she was a student at College she united with the Episcopal church where she was confirmed March 10, 1895. Although she never moved her membership from the Episcopal church, she took an active part in Allen-Lee Memorial church, and was a charter member of the Woman's Society of Christian Service, which was organized 50 years ago. She took an active part in the civic and social life of the community, and through her keen mind was able to render a great service to her fellow man. Being a lover of poetry and the finer things of life, she enriched the lives of others. It may be said "She looked well to the ways of her household and her children rise up and call her blessed."
Mrs. Culpepper was the local correspondent for the Newnan Times-Herald since 1917. She was identified with the civic and political life of Meriwether county, as her late husband was tax commissioner of the county for 28 years Funeral services were held at Allen-Lee Memorial Church on June 5, conducted by the Rev. George Davis of Hogansville, a former pastor here, assisted by the Rev. Riley Middleton, pastor of Allen-Lee Memorial church. McKibben Funeral Home, of Hogansville was in charge of arrangements. The church was filled by loving friends and relatives. The flower laden casket was borne to its resting place beside her husband by nephews: Robert F. Herring of Newnan, Albert D. Herring and Harvey C. Cutts of Greenville; George W. Johnson of Hogansville; Norman Gray of Carrollton; and William P. Lee, Jr., and Roswell W. Lee of Lone Oak.
The large gathering of loved ones and the beautiful floral offerings were mute testimony of the love of her friends. Survivors include two daughters, Miss Margaret Culpepper and Mrs. A. M. Willingham of Lone Oak, and thirteen nieces and nephews.
