"... [William CULVER] selected a location in Clinton County, and was joined by his parents and the balance of the family in the spring of 1838. His parents continued to live with him until 1841, and then, desirous of establishing a home of his own, he was united in marriage with Miss Lucina PRIEST, March 7."

"Mrs. CULVER was born in Jefferson County, N.Y., July 19, 1826, and is the daughter of Joshua and Polly (EDMUNDS) PRIEST, the father a native of Vermont, and the mother of New York State. They were married in the latter State in 1837, the wedding taking place at the home of the bride in Jefferson County. Soon afterward, migrating to Michigan, they settled in Bridgewater, Washtenaw County, where the father purchased forty acres of land, upon which he operated three years, then removed to Clinton County, where he only lived about six years, his death taking place in August, 1846. The mother survived her husband a period of twenty six years, remaining a widow, and died while on a visit to her old home in Jefferson County, N.Y. in 1872."

"The parents of Mrs. CULVER had a family of fourteen children, eleven of whom grew to mature years. Polly became the wife of Asher SQUIRES, and died in Wisconsin; Lewis died in Ionia County, this State; Electa is the wife of Simon SMITH, of Jefferson County; George is a resident of Shiawassee County, this State; Ansel died in Ingham County; Joshua died in Jefferson County, N.Y. when about fourteen years of age; Lucinda married Jacob LEWIS, and died in Clinton County; Lucina, Mrs. CULVER was next to the youngest; Loren went to California in 1849, and has not since been heard from; Elzina is the wife of Squires CHURCH, of Kalkaska County, this State."

"After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. CULVER resided in Clinton County about ten years, and then took up their residence in Ingham County, where our subject conducted a hotel for a time, and later was engaged in milling, sixteen miles east of Lansing. The mill was destroyed by fire, and he sub sequently traded the site and remains for sixty acres of land in Livingston County, but continued a resident of Ingham, where he in time became owner of 120 acres of land, where he carried on until his removal to this county."

"The present farm of our subject comprises eighty acres under good cultivation, with a tasteful and commodious brick residence, a good barn, and all other buildings required for his convenience. The household circle was completed by the birth of six children, the eldest of whom, Cindona is the wife of William E. JACOBS, and resides in Shiawassee County; Annis C. is the widow of Charles REED, and resides in Dunn County, Wis.; Mary L., Mrs. Elliston WARNER, lives in Quincy Township; William H. is carrying on farming in Grand Rapids; Isadore is the wife of W.F. BUSH, and a resident of Shiawassee County, this State; Lewis F. is residing in Detroit."
