Died:
From 1905 on, Jefferson County, Oregon made many changes. Rumors of a railroad were in the air. W.C. Barber, along with J.C. Cockerham and Harold Lawrie saw the need for a townsite. So they platted Culver in the heart of this lovely valley, on land that was Dan Swift's homestead. With the coming of the railroad, Culver became a thriving little town with the post office, school, two churches, two hotels, two general merchandising stores, a drug store, a weekly newspaper, a lumber yard, and a grain warehouse. The depot was a busy place every evening when the populace all turned out to watch the mail and passenger train arrive. Passenger trains didn't arrive until April 15, 1911.

Family/Spouse: Charlotte G. King. Charlotte was born about 1884; died about 1973; was buried in Culver IOOF Cemetery, Culver, Jefferson County, Oregon, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
