Herman C Culpepper
The death of Mr. H. C. Culpepper occurred at his home in the northern part of the city at about ten o’clock Tuesday night, following an illness since last Saturday. Mr. Culpepper came home from his work at the gravel pit Saturday evening with a terrible headache, and went immediately to bed. He soon became unconscious and incoherent in his mutterings, and did not regain consciousness at anytime.
Funeral services were held at four yesterday afternoon, Rev. W. D. Wyatt of the First Baptist Church officiating, and the Masonic rites were observed at the grave.
Mr. Culpepper was 41 years of age, had lived here about ten years, and is survived by a mother, Mrs. Lela Culpepper of Falfurrias, a sister and a brother, Mrs. C. H. Hornsby and Mr. Z. D. Culpepper of Falfurrias, the sorrowing wife and four children, Mrs. George A. Baker, Miss Ruby Fay, William and Lela Culpepper, to whom our sympathy is extended in their great sorrow.
