Culp--The announcement Monday morning that Mrs. Rebecca Culp, wife of Henry Culp, was dead, brought sorrow to the hearts of a host of people in Elgin. Her death was sudden and was a shock to her family as well as her
many friends. Cruel death has desolated another home. A husband and three children are left without the care of a loving mother. In her 20th year, December 25th, 1884, she was married to Mr. Henry Culp, a worthy young man of Bastrop County, with whom she lived happily till death came and released her from the solemn marriage vows which, eighteen years ago she had took upon her. Sister Culp ever enjoyed her religion, and such was the joy she manifested at the last woman's prayer meeting she attended and such was the pathos and earnestness of her prayer, that those who were present felt that she must have realized that her time of prayer in behalf of her children, and the friends she so tenderly loved was drawing to its close, the days of toil and burden-bearing giving way to the dawning of the day of redemption. It was with a resignation that was perfect, and a patience that never once gave way, that Sister Culp bore the sufferings of her disease, typhoid fever, till death brought her relief. Not only so, but as the end drew near on, and her sick couch was soon to become her death bed, such was the fullness of the presence of the Comforter, such was the reality and sweetness of that presence, that it was with difficulty, in deference to wish of her physician, that she could restrain the shouts of joy and praise that were welling up so full within, and since it was permitted her to express the praise she felt in the bright prospects of the heavenly world, among her last requests was that a good sister at her bed-side should praise God in her stead.
To the family, that of Mr. David Outlaw, and to the husband, the sympathy
of many, many friends is extended.
