Biography* Mrs. C. M. (Pat Burgin) Lee obtained a copy of the Lavaca Co., TX marriage record for "Rufus Baucom" and "Blanche Culpepper." They obtained a marriage record 14 Nov 1891 and were married by "J. E. Hicks J.P." 15 Nov 1891.
      Mrs. James L. (Vivian Hastings) Culpepper recorded the following the following from a tombstone in the Mt. Olive Cemetery in a 24 Sep 1978 letter: _________________________Mrs. Blanche Baucum _________________________Mar. 19, 1874 _________________________Aug. 26, 1892 _________________________18 yr.-5 mo.-7 day.
      Since a baby daughter, "Little Blanche Baucum" who was born and died 15 Aug 1892, was buried with Blanche, Vivian speculated that Blanche "probably died from complications after child birth...." Baucom researcher Sandra Vossler confirms this. Mrs. C. M. (Pat Burgin) Lee wrote 2 Nov 1994: According to Marie [Burgin, a granddaughter of Daniel and Zilpha] Blanche Culpepper Baucom was a real cut-up & a happy-go-lucky person. She died after the birth of her first child.
