Death of Mr. Joe Culpepper Formerly of this City

The countless friends of Mr. Joseph Culpepper, who for many years was a citizen 
of Butler, will be grieved to learn of his death which occurred Saturday night 
March 2nd at the home of his brother, Rev. George B. Culpepper at Fort Valley.

The Fort Valley Tribune published last week, the following account of Mr. 
Culpepper’s sad death:

One of the saddest deaths in our town was that of Mr. Joseph Culpepper which 
occurred Saturday night at the home of his brother, Rev. George B. Culpepper on 
College Street.

Mr. Culpepper was born in Macon County nearly fifty-five years ago but for some 
ten years had lived here with his brother.  In early boyhood he joined the 
Methodist church, and his entire life was in keeping with its rules and 
ordinances.

Mr. Culpepper was never married.  Besides his two brothers, Revs. G.B., of this 
place, and J.B., an evangelist, he leaves another brother in Alabama and two 
sisters and many constant friends here and elsewhere who deeply regret his 
death.

The remains were interred in Oaklawn Cemetery, Monday, Rev. J.P. Wardlaw 
conducting the exercises.

Mr. Culpepper was a man of retiring manner and unassuming ways, but his daily 
walk was, as with God.  His weary spirit, now freed from care, has winged its 
way to that eternal home where the good of all ages have gathered and give 
angelic welcome to those who lived as he did.
