| Biography* | | According to an obituary found in the Oliver/Culpepper Bible: "Mrs. Polly S. Culpepper was born in Anson Co, NC in 1794; professed religion and joined the Methodist Church in 1812; was married to Benjamin Culpepper in 1815, who died a minister of the Gospel, fourteen years since. They moved to west Tennessee in 1822; thence to Mississippi in 1840; thence to Arkansas in 1850, where she died, of a disease of the heart, after an illness of two months, July 1, 1870. She died at the residence of her son Franklin Culpepper, near Pleasant Ridge Academy, Bradley Co. Sister Culpepper was a member of the church near sixty years. She lived to see her youngest son, now twenty-five years old, a minister of the Gospel. She had another son, James Culpepper, who died six years ago, after preaching eighteen or twenty years. Six of her children are now living, all members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Surely Sister Culpepper did not live in vain. Hers is truly a religious houselhold. All of her children, as well as some of her grandchildren, are devoted to the service of the Lord. The writer called on her a few days before her departure to the better land. She expressed herself as desiring to depart to that land where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are forever at rest. H. R. Hamilton." |
