     Sarah Culp died at Huron Co., OH. She was born at Virginia. She was the daughter of Henry Culp. Sarah Culp married Daniel Brumback, son of Johann Heinrich Brombach and Anna Catherine Strickler, on 9 March 1816 at Page Co., VA.

     David Culver married Catherine (?).¹ David Culver was born circa 1818 at New York.¹

     David Jackson Culver was born on 17 August 1860 at Monroe Twp., Darke Co., OH; son of Benjamin Franklin and Nancy (Williamson) Culver. Illinois Death Index shows birth location Licking County, Ohio, however, the 1860 census of Monroe Twp., Darke County, 26 JUL 1860, lists the Culver family (p.145), farming, and they were still there in 1870, so a 60-mile excursion east to Licking County in August of 1860 seems very far-fetched. A more likely explanation is confusion on the part of the person giving the information at his death. DLB 2021.¹ He married Catherine Matilda Beabout on 18 November 1883 at Crawford Co., IL. David Jackson Culver died on 10 January 1942 at Porterville, Crawford Co., IL, at age 81. He was buried in January 1942 at Kirk Cemetery, Robinson, Crawford Co., IL, Findagrave #75145102.

     Ella Culver was born on 29 July 1861 at Wisconsin per Illinois death record. She married George L. Voorhees in 1879. Ella Culver and George L. Voorhees were divorced before April 1910.

Mrs. E. C. Voorhees Dies at Age 83
Long Illness Fatal to 50-year Resident of Area
Death came to Mrs. Ella Culver Voorhees early Tuesday morning at her home in Wood River after a long illness that had caused her to be disabled the greater part of the time in the last 10 years. She had sustained a fall in her home about two years ago that served to hasten her death. Since the fall, Mrs. Voorhees had been a hospital patient at intervals.
Her last visit to the hospital ended about three weeks ago when she was removed to her home from St. Anthony's Infirmery, where she had spent about 10 days. Last week her condition became such that members of her family were notified and she was visited by her children. Had she lived until Jan. 29, Mrs Voorhees would have observed her 84th birthday anniversary. She was the last of her family of five members.
She was born at Madison, Wis., Jan. 29, 1861, the daughter of Edwin Culver, a lieutenant in the army during the Civil War. In 1879 she was married to George L. Voorhees. Eight children were born to the couple, seven of whom are surviving. The children are Frank A. Voorhees, 2717 College avenue, in Alton, Dr. Vanderveer Voorhees, Mrs. Winifred Skinner and Mrs. Evangeline Kell, all of Chicago, Lawrence E. Voorhees, of Washington, D.C., and Mrs. Jesse C. Manning of Wood River. There are also 13 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
Just 50 years ago, Mrs. Voorhees and her family came to Alton from Chicago. Her husband, a Chicago school teacher, came here to take the position of superintendent of Upper Alton public schools when that section of the city was a separate municipality from the city of Alton. At the time he took charge of the Upper Alton schools, George L. Voorhees bought Sunnyside farm just north of the city limits on Humbert road, from A. T. Benson, who had also been a Chicago business man.
Bought Farm
Benson had built the two-story house on the high elevation that overlooks the Black Creek valley. He had also built all new barns and farm buildings, making the farm home a showplace of the neighborhood. Benson gave the name of Sunnyside to the farm and it has been known by that name for over 60 years. Geo. L. Voorhees purchased the farm from Benson and moved his family into the farm home when they arrived from Chicago.
Her husband being engaged in school affairs, Mrs. Voorhees found that she was to become a farm manager, Probably the first woman farm manager in the Alton vacinity. She proved equal to the task and ran her farm of 214 acres over a long period of years. Even after her husband had completed his school work in Alton, and had returned to Chicago to spend the remainder of his life, she continued to operate the farm up to a few years ago when she sold out, retired, and went to Wood River to reside.
George L. Voorhees died in Chicago a year ago.
The body is at Streeper funeral home where friends may call after 6 o'clock this evening. Funeral services will be conducted in the Streeper chapel at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon by the Rev. O. W. Heggemeier, pastor of Trinity Lutheran church. Following the service in the funeral home the family will leave with the body for Madison, Wis., where burial will take place Saturday afternoon.

She was buried in December 1944 at Forest Hill Cemetery, Madison, Dane Co., WI.
