Biographical Sketch of Thomas N. Culbertson, Greene County, Missouri, Boone Township >From "History of Greene County, Missouri," St. Louis: Western Historical Company, 1883. ********************************************************************** Mr. Culbertson was born in Greene County, Tennessee, August 26, 1849. When he was three years old his parents came to Greene County, Mo., bringing Thomas N. with them, and here he grew up, receiving his educa- tion in the common schools. He began life as a farmer, and is still engaged in that worthy calling. In July, 1882, he purchased the place where he now resides, containing 200 acres of fine land, well improved and part of it in a high state of cultivation and productiveness. His farm lies one mile and three-quarters south of Ash Grove, and ranks among the very best in the township. Mr. Culbertson was married Janu- ary 26, 1879, to Miss Nancy J. Hammond; she died, however, in July, 1880, and the next year Mr. Culbertson married a second time, his last wife being Huldah R. Hammond, a sister of his first wife. The great grandfather of Thomas N. (whose name was also Thomas Culbertson) was a soldier in the War of 1812. Mr. Culbertson has one child, a son by the first wife, named Everette, born July 22, 1880, just before the death of his mother. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
