Biography* According to "A Rockaway in Talbot," by William H. Davidson, "A report on the 'terrible cyclone' appeared in the Talbotton [GA] Standard for Wednesday, March 24, 1875. The editor traveled the storm strewn path, listing houses and places, and wrote:
     
      "The next is where Mr. Elisha Culpepper, one of our oldest and best citizens, lived. His house was blown down, he was killed on the spot, and his daughter-in-law and wife were badly wounded. All of this place is a wreck. The storm seems to have been more terrific here than at any place this side of Mount Airy.
     
      "Elisha Culpepper was noted for his 'strict integrity of character. He was a strict member of the Baptist Church.' At the time of his death, the Culpepper farm consisted of 283 acres of land, appraised August 29, 1876 at $1, 132."
