George Bright Culpepper, who noted: The next year a fourth son was born to Fayette and Jennie Culpepper on Pleasant Ridge in Macon County, Georgia. This boy grew to manhood and in 1887 moved with his parents to Pratt City, Alabama, where he worked in the railroad shops. From there he went to Pittsburgh and for many years I have lost track of him entirely. His name is Otis O'Daniel Culpepper.
In the 1910 census, the occupation of Otis was listed as a crane operator for the steel mills. On the death certificate, his occupation is listed as a "heater" for U.S. Steel Corp. His usual residence is given as 1609 North 16th Street, Melrose Park, IL. He died of carcinoma of the liver which he had had for about 6 months and metastasis to lungs.
