General Notes: Husband - John H. Culbertson

---

He had but limited educational advantages, owing to the unsettled state of the country during his youth, three months' attendance in the district school comprising all his schooling; but he early sought in books to make up for the deficiencies of his education. He was appointed Justice of the Peace of his native township when but twenty-five years of age, and in 1851 was elected Register and Recorder of Crawford County by the Democratic party (of which he was then a member), and served three years. In 1854 he moved to Venango Borough and embarked in mercantile business, in which he was successfully engaged until 1862. He served as Justice of the Peace in Venango Borough from 1855 until his death. At the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion he espoused the cause of the Union and joined the Republican party, of which he was an active prominent member, having been a delegate from Venango Township to nearly every county and many State conventions. In 1876 he was appointed Notary Public by the Governor, which office he held the rest of his life.
Shortly after his removal to Venango Borough he united with the Presbyterian Church and was soon after installed Elder, continuing as such twenty-one years. He was Superintendent of the Sabbath-school for fifteen years, and attended as delegate many of the church conferences abroad. He was an exemplary Christian and was prominently identified with the religious and secular interests and enterprises of the place. He was a member of the I. O. O. F. for many years.
