Biography* From Loris O. Brewer Jr., August 2002:

The farm they were living on at that time belonged to Homer Ferguson, the twin brother of my mother's second husband, Henry Ferguson. The farm was just over the Bastrop County line, about 2-3 miles NE of Lytton. By the way one of Homer Ferguson's sons -- Rex Ferguson -- is still living in Lytton at
the ripe old age of 94!

Not too long after the picture of my grandmother Culpepper was taken she became ill. My Aunt Janie (Willowdean's mother) had her brought to Lockhart to stay with her. My grandmother was eventually diagnosed as having stomach cancer and she ultimately died there in Aunt Janie's home in January 1939.

That was just about the end of my grandfather Culpepper's farming days. He had to give it up in 1940 as he no longer had farm hands to help him. All his boys had gone into the service and all the girls had long since married.
Uncles Reuben, Dean, and Paul, were called up with the Texas 36th Infantry Division in 1940 and Uncle O'Neil went into the CCC and then joined the Marine Corps shortly after Pearl Harbor.

Late in 1940, my grandfather then went to Red Rock to live with Aunt Lora, his oldest living daughter. He died there in 1944.
