Biography28 Jun 1974 Recently, a tall, stalwart man walked in our store and said to me, "I'm Baylor Culpepper from Shreveport." I said to him, "The only Baylor I ever knew was the late Mr. Baylor Ray." He replied "That man is my namesake."
     Baylor Culpepper has many relatives here in this area. Ora Leggett, Charles and Mary Beth Griffin, Dalton Smith, and all the late uncle Marion Davis' family.
     Baylor Culpepper was born in 1890 near New Hope, the son of Bill and Hannie (Padue) Culpepper. His father died when he was three years old. His mother moved to Claiborne parish. Life was a struggle, he worked hard in his early life. But God has been so good to him. He became a brilliant and very successful real estate dealer.
     Most of all, a true dedicated Christian man. For 50 years he has been a member of the First Baptist Church of Shreveport. Baylor has used his talents in the Lord's service. A man to love and appreciate. I never will forget him after he left my store. He visited New Hope Cemetery where his father was buried 80 years ago. From there he went to Ruston and purchased the finest peaches on earth.
     He said he would return the last of June for more peaches and hoped to see an article I promised to write.
     That's all folks. Why can't we all be like Mr. Baylor, making the world better wherever we go.

In 1930, Gladys, proprietor of a family hotel, and Baylor Culpepper, a real estate agent, have four boarders: E. M. Ludlow, beauty parlor cosmetician; Bertha Wynne, dry goods saleslady; J. L. Wynne; and C. P. Garret, in Shreveport, Caddo Co., Louisiana. Baylor is a veteran of World War I.
