EDWARD W. CULVER

    A man who is making a success of his business, in Woodland, Yolo county,
Cal., and whose work is appreciated by his townsmen, is Edward W. Culver, a
purveyor of first-class plumbing, tinning and gasfitting. He was born in
Middlebury, Vt., December 13, 1886, a son of A. E. Culver, a farmer in that old
town, and was educated in the public schools near his boyhood home. In 1903,
when he was about seventeen years old, he came west as far as Eureka, Nev., and
during the ensuing year and a half rode the cattle range, acquiring experience
as a cowboy and knowledge of western ways. Then he went to Oakland and began an
apprenticeship to the plumber's trade, which he completed under the instruction
of Robert Dalzell. He worked at his trade in Oakland until 1907, then went to
Sacramento, where he was employed as a plumber on the state capitol. This latter
work was on a contract held by Mr. Dalzell. His trade took him to other work in
Sacramento and to Lodi, and thence to Marshfield, Ore., where he remained until
February, 1909, when he came to Woodland, Yolo county, and established himself
in the plumbing business. Here he has remained, winning the good opinion of his
fellow citizens both as a workman and as a man of affairs. He did the plumbing
in the A. C. Morris residence, the Dr. Fairchild residence, the Woodland
Sanitarium, the First National Bank, the Harry Porter residence and other
notable public and private buildings, and has several fine contracts to which he
will give attention in the near future. His store and shop, under one roof, are
located at No. 425 Main street.

    In Ukiah, Cal., Mr. Culver married Mrs. Edna (Overmeyer) Bush, who has, by
her former marriage, children named Yerba and Zorah Bush. In political alliance
Mr. Culver is a Republican; he is an attendant upon the services of the
Congregational church, and socially he affiliates with the L. O. O. M. and the
K. O. T. M.
