Biography* William Seymour Culpepper was the son of James F. G. and Valula Ann (Seymore) Culpepper. He was born and raised in Alabama, possibly in Chambers Co., AL since this is where he was noted with his parents in the 1900 census. By 1910, the family had moved to Randolph Co., AL and this is where his mother died when William was 12 years old. William's father and stepmother have not been located in 1920 census records but, based on later records, it is possible that the family moved to Georgia.

At some point, probably in the early 1920s, William married Martha Ida Wilde and, although their first child was born in Atlanta, GA, the couple apparently decided to settle down and raise their family in Chicago, IL. And this is where William died in 1964 at the age of 67.
