Biography* From Loris Brewer, Monday, 8 September 2003, to his cousin Margie Culpepper Wolfe:

Yesterday, we went to McMahan to attend services at the Bethel Baptist Church, primarily because we had never been to services there before. As you know, our g-grandfather, Amos Allison Culpepper, was Elder for that church from 1900-1903.

As you might expect, people came up to introduce themselves to the 'strangers'. Of the people who came up to us were three brothers with the family name of OWEN, the eldest ninety years young. He remembered Amos Culpepper.

Another brother, Curtis Owen told me he knew all of the children of Amos Culpepper (except for my grandfather, Will, who had left the area in 1918) and as well as many of their children. Of Amos' children, he seemed to know Ed, Joe, Paul, and Allie best.

He told me a little story about your grandfather, Allie.

He said that in his later years, Allie was blind -- something I had not heard before.

It seems that one Sunday, Allie came to church and was talking with Curtis. Sometime during the conversation Allie said to him "Would you look into my wallet? I think there is a dollar in there and I want to give it to the church." Curtis did as he was asked and said that the lone dollar was all that Allie had in his wallet.

Curtis then said to me "That will make you stop and think -- a blind man giving his last dollar to the church because that is what he wanted to do."

Just thought you'd like to know.
