Anson Allen Culver
PASSES AWAY AT MINNEAPOLIS IS LAID TO REST BESIDE HIS WIFE AT ORTONVILLE MINNESOTA
From The Ortonville Correspondent
Anson Allen Culver, veteran of the civil war, who for seven years conducted a drug store in this city, died at the Soldiers' Home at Minneapolis Sunday morning Feb. 19, at the age of 74 years.
Mr. Culver was born in a small New York village, Naples, on March 16, 1848, where his boyhood days were spent. He attended Peekskill Military Academy and it was while there, at the age of sixteen, he ran away from home and enlisted in Co., B. 30th Michigan Infantry, serving a period of 9 months when the civil warfare was terminated. He later became a member of Co., A. 2nd Veteran Reserve Corps.
Mr. Culver learned the drug business in Lincoln, Ill., shortly after being mustered out of the army. The first store he owned was in Momence, Ill., which place he conducted for thirty-one years, serving on the Illinois Board of Pharmacy for five years of that time. In later years he took in a partner, Isadore Roden, of Momence, who had learned the drug business with him and later they bought another store in Danville, Ill., and for the year or two following Mr. Culver spent his time in managing that. It was while conducting this store that Mr. Culver's health began to fail him and he was forced to dispose of his interest in Momence and seek the climate of Minn.
He came to Ortonville, in August, 1901 and purchased a lot on 2nd Street from John Michell, and later erected a brick building, which is now occupied by the Ortonville, Electric Company, where he conducted a first-class drug store for seven years. His health in this state became much improved but the death of his wife in 1904 was a blow from which he never recovered and both spirit and body broke down at that time.
He met Mary Alice Clark at Momence, Ill., and became married in 1872. To them five children were born: Mrs. A.C. Paradis, of Momence, Ill., Frank H. Culver of Janesville, Wis., Mary C. Culver, Seattle, Wash., Mrs. W.H. Schafer, Minneapolis and George C. Culver, of Detroit, Mich., all of whom are living.
In 1914 Mr. Culver was admitted to the Minnesota State Soldiers' Home, and in 1916 was taken into the hospital where he could have closer and more devoted care. On Tuesday morning February 21, his old comrades paid their last tribute to him. "Abide With Me" one of the beautiful hymns which was sung there by Mrs. Cecil Taggart was his best beloved and on which he sang many times in his years of choir work.
The body lay in state in the rotunda of the court house from Tuesday afternoon until three o'clock Wednesday when the funeral was held with Rev. Paul J. Hockoven officiating. Burial was made in Mound Cemetery with the Episcopal service. The services were under the auspices of the American Legion. Pall bearers were: Kenneth Cummons, Willard Tweet, William Engdahl, Glen Hudson, E.M. Pike and Earl Miller. Color bearers were Floyd Atha and Harry Peterson.
