Joseph Culverhouse, age 5, born in Georgia in January 1895. According to the 1900 census, of Daviston District of western Taylor County, Georgia, new the city of Howard, Joseph was then living with his parents, Wilborn Jinks and Ida Bell Adams Culverhouse along with his siblings, Hugh 6, Mattie 4, George 2 and Doctor (Doc) who was one year old. His father was farming at that time. It was listed that there had been another siblings born to his parents, but had passed away by this time. It is assumed he would have been the first child born. I have no name for this child.

Right after this time came a long list of additional siblings: Kelly May 1901, Katie Bell 1902, Emily Lillian 1903, Lola Grace 1905, Eva Nell 1907, Eula Jeanette 1909, and after a time, Alvin Odis in 1915. The census of 1910 shows them still living in the Daviston District of Taylor County.

This article from the Butler Herald newspaper dated April 7, 1914 : "Mr. Wilburn Culverhouse, who was seriously injured abut 10 days ago by a falling scaffold while engaged at work erecting a large store building for Mr. Sims Garret at Charing, is improving nicely which will be gratifying news to his many friends."

In June of 1917, Joseph registered for the draft, at the time, being 30 years old and living in Butler. He was working on the farm of Mr. C. Waters. He gave his description as being short, slender with brown eyes and black hair. He was inducted into the army on Aug 8, 1918 and released after armistice on November 19, 1919. It appears he spent most of his service possibly in the medical corps in Camp Greenleaf, Georgia. He never served overseas.

The next year, 1920 show that Joseph is back home with 10 siblings, Hugh having moved out. Joe was back doing farm labor.

It doesn't appear that Joseph ever married. He lost his father in 1928 and he passed away the next year in 1929. He rest here in the Howard cemetery among many of his family and loved ones. (See the many family links below.)
