Biography* The following is excerpted from Part II of a ledger left by Josie Mary Culpepper Wilson Burger for her children, October 21, 1957:
     Aunt Mattie has 12 children. I don't know all of their married names so will just give first names. 1. Sena, 2. Fannie, 3. Rudy (Mrs. Arch McLester) Rockport, TX, 4. Evalina, 5. Jessie, 6. Clifford, 7. Woodrow, 8. Rose Lee, 9. Gladys, 10. Mary, 11. Ester. One died when it was a baby. All were raised at Rockport, Texas. (Aunt Mattie's husband would tell a story that when he was young that he was with a mule train that was transporting gold from Galveston to Corpus Christi and they were about to be over taken by a troop of Mexicans, so they buried the gold. The coast markings changed and they were unable to find any land marks to recover it. Everyone thought it was a good tale, but about four years before he died an old Mexician came to his house and they spent a summer looking for the gold without success.)
