DEATH OF COL. H. P. CULVER.
The death of Col. H. P. Culver, which took place at an early hour on the morning of the 24th inst., was not unexpected. He has been in feeble health for a number of months past, having suffered two paralytic strokes, from the first of which he partially recovered, but from the last one did not rally.
He was born at Hebron, Connecticut, January 20th, 1793, and moved to Monroe County, New York, in 1817, and was married in 1820, to Miss Lamira Lacy, with whom he lived in the most congenial and happy relations for 49 years. He was engaged largely in the manufacture at Honeoye Falls, New York, of flour, lumber, barrels, potash, plaster, &c., and was among the first in western New York to manufacture barrels by machinery, and was one of the principal men who built up that village, and remained there until 1842 when he emigrated to the village of Janesville, and bought a large farm near it, on which he resided until January 1, 1857, when he moved into this city upon the premises occupied by him at his decease.
Coming into the country at an early day, he has seen its entire settlement and development, and has been himself no indifferent spectator to the growth of the county and this city. Thus one by one the pioneers of the county pass away. Peace to their memory.
