Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 September 1906 — Culp Reunion. [ARTICLE]

Culp Reunion.

Last Thursday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Culp residing in Barkley township, occored a reunion of the Culp family. Despite the threatening weather in the early part of the day, relatives and friends came from far and near, and when the noon hour arrived one hundred and seven guests were present, and in the shade of the stately old apple trees partook of one of the most sumptuous dinners that was ever spread. Those from a distance were George Long and wife and daughter from Monon, Ed Culp and wife of Remington, Charles Culp wife and children of Kewanna, Wm. Walters and mother, Mrs. Tea, of Battleground. The photographer was also present and after every one had looked pleasant, music and old fashioned games were indulged in for the remainder of the afternoon. Mr, Culp is one, if not the oldest resident that was born in Jasper Co., and he with his venerable wife have merited the respect of every one that know them. At a late hour each returned to their respective homes wishing Mr. and Mrs. Culp many happy returns. The next reunion will be held at the same homestead the first Thursday in September 1907.
