Biography* Mrs. John (Dorothy Culpepper) Wingfield preserved a 25 page typed manuscript "ONE FAMILY - CULPEPPER" written by her grandfather, Rev. George Bright Culpepper, who noted: Up in Chattooga County, Georgia, not far from Summerville, a second child was born to LaFayette Culpepper and his wife, Jennie, a son weighing a little less than 3 pounds at birth. He grew to manhood and married Nevada Baxter of Pierce County, Georgia, near Blackshear. To them were born two sons; the oldest was drowned while in bathing. He was about twelve years old. The other attained his majority, moved to California with his parents but a few years later returned to Georgia and at last accounts was living at Waycross. This second son of LaFayette Culpepper bore the name of Walter Brooks Culpepper; and he and his wife are still living in California, near or in Pasadena.
Virgil M. Culpepper wrote, 26 Aug 1978, that Brooks had died and that his family was in Blackshear, GA.
