John A. Culbertson
Died Yesterday Morning at the Age of 71 Years.
John A. Culbertson, a man of large social and business acquaintance in Livingston county, died at his home on Main street in this village at half past eight o'clock Wednesday morning, Oct. 7, 1914. For nine years he bad been afflicted with sugar diabetes but by dieting and careful attention to himself he had kept the trouble somewhat in check, and he attended to his business affairs' about as usual. Three or four weeks ago he worked harder than usual and gangrene developed in his left foot, and after counseling with his physician it was decided to amputate the foot and part of the leg, which was done last Saturday morning, Dr. Driesbach performing the operation, assisted by Drs. Patchin and Dorr, and with Dr. Andrews being present. Mr. Culbertson assisted in the preparation for the operation and placed himself on the operating table, and for two days afterwards he appeared to be doing well, but shortly afternoon on Tuesday a change came and he gradually grew worse until he died. During the last month and after the operation he did not suffer pain, and the end came very peaceably.
Mr. Culbertson was the son of John Culbertson, his mother being Nancy Boner. He was born June 8, 1843, in Sparta, four miles below this village, at what is known as Culbertson's Glen where the late President Millard Fillmore learned the wool-carding and clothdressing trade early in the last century, Mr. Culbertson's father then owning the farm which has been owned by the deceased for forty years or more. Mr. Culbertson remained at home until after the death of his parents and then purchased the home farm, to which he added many acres, and a few years ago he built a commodious residence which he occupied until removing to Dansville.
He was a man of positive character and good judgment, an intelligent, thorough farmer and stockman, and no man ever drove better horses than, he; he took an active interest in many things and was for years a trustee, to the South Sparta Presbyterian church and a trustee and superintendent of the cemetery association connected with that church. He was a member of the committee of land owners appointed by the State Conservation Commission to supervise the work of improving the Canaseraga creek and was frequently in consultation with the officers of that commission and the chief engineer. After the death of Mrs. Elizabeth G. Faulkner last summer he was appointed an executor of the estate with Charles H. Grant and he gave to the work of settlement all the time he could spare from his other duties. Whatever he put his hand to moved with promptness, as he disliked to see matters in which he was interested drag their weary length along. He was quiet and somewhat austere at times but with his associates he was genial and a good companion.
Mr. Culbertson served in the Civil War in 1864 and 1865 in Co. E, 68th N. G. N. Y., and was discharged at the close of the war. He joined Seth N. Hedges Post in March, 1907, and for four or five years he had served as sergeant-major in the Post.
Mr. Culbertson Was married three times. Jan. 9, 1877, he married Miss Lillie D. Galbraith of Sparta who died Feb. 5, 1882, leaving two sons, John G. Culbertson who occupies the home farm in Sparta, and Fred Culbertson who lives on the farm left by his maternal grandfather John Galbraith, two miles north of this village. Nov. 18, 1885, he married Miss Martha Woodruff who died Oct. 7, 1893, leaving one daughter, Miss Eleanor Culbertson, who is at home. Oct. 7, 1896, he married Mrs. Salome Johns Karcher of Dansville, and after living on the farm in Sparta until 1900 they moved to Dansville where they have since resided. Besides his wife and two sons and daughter be leaves five grandchildren; three sisters, Mrs. Elisha Unborn of Hudson, Ohio, Mrs. Frances Covert of Batavla, N. Y., and Mrs. Alice Wier of Kentucky, besides a brother Jas. C. Culbertson.
Funeral services will be held at tbe house Saturday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. Marshall Harrington to officiate, burial in the South Presbyterian churchyard to Sparta, and the officers of tbe Post will assist at the commitment with a ritual service.
