They were made up of men enlisted in the Northern Panhandle, who were stationed at Wheeling throughout the war as city guards or, more strictly speaking, Capitol Guards, for Wheeling was not only the seat of the Restored Government, but the capital of West Virginia after the admission of the State into the Union. These two companies were on duty during the entire Civil War period, and were not required to perform other military service. Description: From History of the Pan-Handle, West Virginia, 1879 A company consisting of men exempt from military duty on account of age, volunteered for prison-guards and were organized under command of Capt. Robert Hamilton, performing exclusive guard and escort duty at Wheeling.

This dispute was compounded by the issuance of land grants by the respective colonies for the same lands. In 1773, the Pennsylvania legislature created Westmoreland County which included all lands in dispute with Virginia, inclusive of West Augusta, Virginia. The West Augusta district boundaries as defined by an Act of the Virginia general assembly in 1776 included the present day northern panhandle of West Virginia, Greene and Washington Counties in Pennsylvania, and portions of Allegheny and Beaver counties in Pennsylvania. This act created three counties Ohio, Monongahela, and Yohogania. On August 31, 1779, agreement was finally reached between Virginia and Pennsylvania establishing a boundary based on the survey of Mason and Dixon. This agreement was ratified June 23, 1780 by the Virginia general assembly and September 22, 1780 by Pennsylvania's general assembly. If this act had been fulfilled in its entirety, the northern panhandle of West Virginia would have been a part of Pennsylvania rather than Virginia. Upon ratification Ohio County consisted of present day Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel, Tyler, Doddridge, and Pleasants counties. 1796 - Brooke County created, encompassing present day Brooke and Hancock counties 1814 - Tyler County created, emcompassing all or parts of present day Tyler, Wetzel, Doddridge and Pleasantscounties 1835 - Marshall County created The site of present day West Liberty was selected to be the site for the county courts in Ohio County. West Liberty was organized November 20, 1787 and was the first town organized in the Ohio Valley. The county courts were subsequently moved to Wheeling May 7, 1798. http://hostville.com/wvoh/history.cfm iv. MARY MOLLIE CULVER, b. Abt. 1841, West Virginia; d. Unknown.

D., 1886, personally appeared before me, a ???????Court in and for the said County, duly authorized to administer oaths, John H. Donnelly aged 51 years, whose Post Office address is Clinton, Ohio county, West Va., who being duly sworn, declared in relation to said case as follows: I belonged to Co. E, 1st W. Va. Infantry, the same Company and Reg’t to which John P. Culver belonged. Sometime in the fall of 1868, said Culver was driving a Regimented team, hauling a load of hay, near a point known as Moorefield Gap when the saddle horse he was riding fell and pitched him over his head among the leaders of the team and he was struck or fell in same day so that his right hip was badly injured. I remember the circumstance quite well. He was lame for a long time and complained while in the service of the trouble if gave him. I have lived in the same neighborhood with him and have known him well ever since he came out of the service and he has complained to me frequently ever since his hurt, in the army and since that his hip continues to grow worse and weaker and gave him more trouble all the time. Further delclare that he has no interest in said case and is not concerned in its prosecution. Signed: John H. Donnelly -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Affidavit of Applicant-State of West Virginia, County of Ohio. In the matter of application of John P. Culver, late private, Co. E. 1st West Va. Infantry for invalid Pension which is entitled Inv. No. 565092. On this 15th day of May A. D. 1886, personally appeared before me a Clerk of Circuit Court in and for the said County, duly authorized to administer oaths, the said applicant, John P. culver, aged Forty Six Years, whose Post Office address is Fulton Ohio Co., W. Va. Who being duly sworn declared in relation to said case as follows. In the fall of 1863, I believe to have been in September, about two -thirds of the 1st West Va. Infantry among them part of my Company [E- [the other one third of the Regiment had been captured], was stationed at Petersburg, Hardy Co., W. Va. I was at this time detailed to drive one of the Regiment’s four horse teams. On the day referred to, I was returning from a foraging expedition after hay near Moorefield, riding the saddle horse, driving the loaded team, my team being I believe in the lead, there begin three or four other teams in Company passing over a very rough, stony piece of road about dark. The horse I was riding fell and threw me over his head among the feet of the leading horses. I receiving at the time a blow or kick on the right hip, which, though severely felt at the time, did not entirely disable me and I managed to get free without other serious injury. This kick or blow resulted in laming me and yearly this laming worsens until for the past 5 years, I have been unable to ride a horse any distance or drive a team. Driving team and mining coal have been my occupation, but about nineteen [19] years ago I was taken with bleeding of the lungs when working in the coal mine. I cannot do any hard work now unless I have a return of this bleeding. I believe this bleeding of the lungs was caused by the fever and ague which I contracted when in the army and the exposure keeping to the performance of my duty as a soldier. I never received any treatment from the surgeon or the assistant [?] surgeon of the Regiment. I was treated by Dr. Ulrich of the City of Wheeling W. Va. Some time after my discharge from the army for the bleeding of the lungs. I am unable to get a physicians affidavit as to my condition [?] before enlistment for the reason that within y recollection, until during the war, I never had a physician preside [?] for me for any complaint. I never was in a hospital for treatment at any time and up to my enlistment was very strong and hearty, and so far as I know and believe, entirely free from disease or symptoms of disease, particularly of bleeding of the lungs.

He attained prominence not only in the United States but throughout the civilized world by reason of learned discourse before the American Congress of Tuberculosis at New York City, a body of which he is a member and also vice-president. His views on the treatment of patients afflicted with this dread disease are to many minds somewhat peculiar, but his conclusions were arrived at after long and mature reflection, founded on his experience in practice and years of study. As an infant he was afflicted with the disease, and its eradications is another point in favor of his competence as an authority on the matter. The paper which he read before the above mentioned body caused a great deal of comment in medical circles of this country, was published in many leading medical journals, and served to set the profession thinking. It first appeared in Moody's Medical Magazine, edited by Dr. R. H. Bell, of New York City, a particular friend of his. Other articles written by Dr. Ulrich setting forth his ideas have been published even in faraway India, and were given preference over the writings of eminent English physicians. Dr. Ulrich was born in Saxony, Germany, in 1827 and is a son of Charles F. Ulrich, who was also born in Saxony, in 1799. Charles F. Ulrich was a skilled cabinetmaker and followed that trade at or near Wheeling, West Virginia, after coming to this country. With kindly assistance from a friend, a contractor at Wheeling, and also from the president of Bethany College, Charles Frederic Ulrich was enabled to enter that institution in 1841, at the age of fourteen years, and graduated therefrom in 1846, before he had reached the age of nineteen years. He was urged by the president, who offered to bear his expenses, to continue in a theological course and take up the ministry, as he was then well versed in the Bible. Owing to the fact that his views were not just what he felt a minister's should be, and partly because he felt unqualified as an orator, he declined the generous offer and decided to engage in teaching. He taught for a period of seventeen years in public schools, high schools and colleges in Kentucky and Tennessee, and a short time in Ohio. From 1853 until 1856 he filled the chair of professor of languages at Burritt College in Tennessee, and also taught some of the scientific classes. He was the preceptor in Latin, Greek, French, German and physics. Along with his studies and professional work he read medicine to a considerable extent, and entered the army in 1864 as assistant surgeon. Although not having a diploma, he passed the best examination among 200 candidates, and received a commission to serve in the Green River Battalion. He served until the close of the war, and then practiced medicine for about five years at Cloverport, Breckinridge county, Kentucky. He then went to Louisville, attended lectures in the medical department of the university, and received his diploma in 1870. He practiced at Louisville five years, and then came to Wheeling in 1875, where he has since engaged in the regular practice of medicine. For many years he made a specialty of obstetrics, in which branch he has excelled. In 1888 he built his present pleasant home, in which he resides and has his offices. Dr. Ulrich first married Ellen M. Lacey, who came of prominent Kentucky family, and four children were born to them, as follows: Mrs. Carrie Blackman, J. Clarence, Nellie, wife of R. M. Gilleland Claudia, who died in Kansas, and who was the wife of Mr. Waterman, The Doctor's second wife was Mrs. Wemyss, nee Messenger, of Brooklyn, who died in 1885. He has been surgeon of J. W.

Edited & Compiled by Hon. Gibson Lamb Cranmer. Biographical Publishing, 1902; pgs. 209-218. --Submitted by Linda Fluharty. On the 23rd day of September, 1886, a Tri-State Reunion was an event the equal of which, in its way, was never before witnessed in Wheeling. In general and profuse decorations nothing ever approached it, except the celebration of the Centennial, and that did not equal it. The crowd has seldom been surpassed in Wheeling, and this crowd was unfavorably affected by threats of rain, by the rain of the night before, and by the fact that at least two of the railroads instead of cooperating with the committee in securing a large attendance seemed actuated by a desire to prevent the people from coming to the city. It is safe to assert that under circumstances entirely favorable the crowd in town would have been twice as large. As it was everything passed off smoothly, everybody was pleased, and the success of the Tri-State Reunion of 1886 did much to contribute to the success of the Society of the Army of West Virginia in 1887. The grand parade and review of the veterans took place as arranged for in the programme. Like everything else about the reunion, it was a big success, and made a very decided impression upon the thousands that lined the streets along the line of march. While the number in line was not as large as many expected to see, the procession was still a notable and interesting one. The heavy rain of the previous night had made the streets, except those paved with the brick blocks, very muddy and slippery and difficult to march over. This fact and the clouds, which threatened rain all the morning, served to keep a large number out of the ranks. Indeed, it was a common remark that the number of old soldiers in the crowds that filled the sidewalks and watched the column swing by almost equaled the number marching in the streets. At daybreak a national salute of 13 rounds was fired on the State Fair Grounds from the 12-pound Parrot gun brought down from East Liverpool and handled by a squad under the command of Capt. Joshua Curfman. At the same time the clear, ringing notes of the reveille were sounded by Bugler Roller from the top of Wheeling hill. The thundering echoes of the salute had not yet ceased reverberating among the Ohio and West Virginia hills, and the bugle call was yet sounding, when the city was wide awake and the streets alive with the bustle of preparation. Decorations disturbed by the wind and rain of the night before were arranged and additional flags and mottoes put out. The day broke bright and clear, but soon after the sky was overcast with clouds that betokened rain. Only a few drops fell, however, and the clouds served to shield the marchers from the sun's rays. The day was warm, but not oppressively so. Col. W. B. Curtis, who had been chosen the chief marshal of the day, had issued his order commanding the troops to be in position to move promptly at nine o'clock, but it was not until after ten o'clock the order to move was passed along the line. The delay was occasioned by the lateness of trains bearing troops that were to take part in the parade. As it was, several companies did not get into the city in time to start with the column, and were obliged to drop in at various points along the route. With the troops from out of the city came their families and other excursionists, filled with patriotic desires to make the Tri-State Reunion as much of a success as possible. Everybody seemed to take a special interest in the occasion, and it was largely this that made the reunion such an eminent success. The excursionists mingled with the residents, who were out in force and crowded the sidewalks so that locomotion was a rather formidable task unless the muddy streets were resorted to. From eight to nine o'clock the scene on Market street from Twelfth to the postoffice and in the Public Square were full of interest and life. This was especially the case about the general headquarters, just below the McLure House. There the street was packed full; there was a continual reunion in progress for over two hours, and as each delegation from out of the city arrived the enthusiasm increased until it had infected everyone. The men cheered and sang; the drums rolled and marked the old-time step, and the fife's shrill accompaniment was heard above all the noise. Bands played patriotic airs; comrades who had not seen each other since the war rushed into each other's arms and wept for very joy as they gazed in each other's eyes and clasped hands once again. Generals and colonels and majors on horses dashed about with martial bearing, - good riders mostly, who had seen service too long to sit uneasily in the saddle on such a playday as this. Horses, too, were full of the spirit of the occasion; they were slick fellows, fattened at the crib without compensatory service, but for all the world war horses; many of the saddle stocks were worn and faded, the burnish of the gilt stars somewhat dimmed, but all in condition for efficient service. About nine o'clock the various G. A. R. posts, companies and regimental organizations began falling into line and taking up their line of march toward the rendezvous, the Public Square. While this was going on an opportunity was afforded to inspect the crowds on the streets. There were business men, professional men and laboring men; city, town and country people; soldiers and civilians; young and old of both sexes; children by the thousands, under foot and in every place they ought not to be. Everybody was in good humor, with a kindly heart and good wishes for the old veterans. Tiny flags were worn in button-holes by the hundreds of spectators; the best of order prevailed, and the good humor that was everywhere apparent was marked. Shortly after ten o'clock the bugle sounded the advance and the column too up the line of march. As the commands were given the old soldiers straightened up and with the old, easy- swinging step moved along, happy that they were once more able to join their comrades and renew the warm friendships formed during the Rebellion. At the head of the column rode Chief of Police Smith and 14 men of the force, two or three of them veterans, all mounted. The police were in full dress and looked and rode well. Colonel Curtis and his staff were next in line; they were all men who had seen service in the saddle, and they looked handsome and brave as their steeds pranced along. The "awkward squad," composed of the Tr-State Reunion committees, were next in the line. Following were the G.A.R. posts, company and regimental organizations, and old soldiers from almost every state in the Union that contributed soldiers to the Union Army; there were bands and drum corps that blew and rattled out the music in a lively manner,- the Richmond, Ohio, cornet band, the Gas City band of Wellsburg, the Union cornet band of Aetnaville, and the famous Opera House band of this city. Junior Vice Commander B. N. Linsey of the Department of Ohio, G.A.R., from Steubenville, was in command of about 200 men from the various posts of Jefferson county. Capt. D. S. Ball, of Canton, Ohio, commanded a squad of about 40 men, representing 22 Ohio regiments. The Bridgeport drum corps was at the head of a squad of 25 men from Company F, Fiftieth Ohio, commanded by W. T. Steadman. Brannon Post, No. 221, of Bridgeport, under command of Lewis Skidmore, turned out 60 strong. East Liverpool was well represented. It sent a drum corps of 10 pieces, and General Lyon Post, No. 44, with its handsome little post cannon. There were about 50 men in all, counting the men in charge of the post gun, under the command of Fred G. Coxrall and J. N. Rose. Pierpont Post, of Wellsburg, was in line, handsomely uniformed and very enthusiastic. This post also had its post cannon and pulled it through the streets. The cannon are made of shells from the Gettysburg field, are handsomely plated and are complete in every particular. They were frequently fired at street crossings, wherever the column was halted during the march and their deafening reports always brought forth a cheer and the old cry of "Lie down." The men were very proud of their pets and polished them and cared for them in the tenderest manner. Squire H. C. Peterman was in command of soldiers from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky and California, about 75 altogether. There were in round numbers 125 members of the old First West Virginia Cavalry, Third Brigade, Custer's Division, in line, under command of Captain Grubb, an old Ohio veteran. The cavalry was marshaled by Adjutant F. C. Robinson, Capt. W. A. McCoy and Captain Seltzer. Nearly every man wore a red flannel necktie and a conspicuous yellow badge. Meade Post, No. 6, of Fairmont, Capt. J. W. Shrayer, had a number of that town's leading citizens in line. J. W. Holliday Post, No. 12, of Wheeling, W. J. Robb, commanding, followed Meade with 28 men in line, headed by McGiven's drum corps. The Cameron drum corps was at the head of S. B. Stiger Post, No. 35, of that place; Daniel Franklin commanded the 75 men this post mustered; they carried a beautiful silk banner. F. W. Stephens Post, No. 35, recently organized in South Wheeling, was out with its own drum corps, 28 strong, commanded by Joseph Arkle. Hon. Josiah Sinclare was at the head of 25 men from Hancock Post, No. 48, of Benwood. Col. Henry B. Hubbard commanded the old First West Virginia Infantry; there were about 80 survivors of the famous old regiment in line, and they marched in fine form. Capt. S. Kraus commanded the 42 men of the Seventh West Virginia Infantry that reported for duty, - they carried their old battle flags and were manifestly proud of them. The Black Eagle drum corps furnished the music for Battery "D: (Carlin's), First West Virginia Light Artillery; there were 53 of the battery in the column, commanded by Lieutenant Harris. Then there were detachments from the posts at Mount Pleasant, Barnesville and other points. Spangler Post, of Bellaire, and Thoburn Post, both of Martin's Ferry, turned out in great shape. Drummond Post, No. 202, of St. Clairsville, was mounted. There were 60 men under command of Col. J. F. Charlesworth and all were mounted on white or gray horses, - this post was one of the features of the parade. Bringing up the rear were open carriages containing General Duvall, Capt. John Carlin, West Virginia department commander G. A. R.; Captain B. B. Dovener, treasurer; P. B. Dobbins, Mayor Grubb and Dr. T. H. Logan, W. E. Hughes and Howard Hazlett, the executive committee; officers of the Chamber of Commerce; Captain Hart, of Washington, Pennsylvania, hospital steward of the First West Virginia Infantry; Gen. R. E. Fleming, of Fairmount; Maj. T. Hudson McKee, of Washington, D. D.; Maj. Lee Haymond, of Clarksburg; Surgeon Neale, of the Thirty-first Ohio; Sergeant McCauley; D. W. Arend and John Shusler, of Pittsburg; Col. N. Wilkinson; the Women's Relief Corps attached to Spangler Post, No. 133, of Bellaire, and a number of others. McPherson Camp, No. 1, Sons of Veterans, another East Liverpool organization, was also in line. All along the route of the procession the decorations were profuse and the cheering and enthusiasm incessant. Over 1,000 men were in line. By 12:30 o'clock all were on the Island, the Infantry crossing on the pontoon bridge and the cavalry and carriages over the suspension bridge. In getting into the Fair Grounds the rush was so great that a blockade at the gates was with difficulty averted several times. The old "vets" had grown hungry on their march and they broke for the dinner tables at once. The Bellaire Relief Corps ladies hastened to the assistance of the 50 or 60 Wheeling ladies who, under the direction of comrades Waterman and Busby, fed at least 5,000 people in three hours. The dinner was the greatest success of all the reunion successes, and too much praise and credit cannot be given to the able committee which arranged for and served it. Not only were the soldiers fed, but their wives and families were looked after. In fact, anybody that was hungry could be satisfied for the asking. The bill of fare consisted of baked beans, cold met, pickles, pickles, bread and hard tack, pie and cheese, doughnuts, cakes and other good things, and Joseph Speidel & Company's "Ohio Valley" coffee. Speidel gave the coffee and made it; there were 11 barrels on tap to commence with, but almost as muchmore had to be made to supply the demand. There was enough of everything for everybody and plenty left after all had gone away. The dinner pleased the men immensely and the liberality displayed in the donating of such generous supplies was very gratifying. In the afternoon the ladies rested from their work by singing a number of war songs that drew people in large numbers and the dining hall was soon packed with a chorus that could be heard for squared when some old favorite like "Marching Through Georgia" was started. About one o'clock Capt. J. N. Rose, commanding the squad in charge of General Lyon Post's gun, from East Liverpool, fired a salute and soon after the speaking began from a stand erected on the track in front of the grandstand. The grandstand was filled to overflowing and the men stood on the track to the number of several thousands. Comrade Melvin Richards led the singing, the accompaniment being played by Comrade Sheib. The exercises opened with the singing of "America," in which nearly every one of the vast crowd joined. Captain Dovener then introduced Commander Carlin, who offered a fervent and appropriate prayer. Mayor J. W. Grubb was presented by General Duvall, and in a very few words, which were sensible and to the point, extended the freedom of the city and bade all a hearty welcome back to old Camp Carlisle. Dr. T. H. Logan, president of the Chamber of Commerce, was brought forward on behalf of that body and said: "Veteran Soldiers: It affords me very great pleasure in behalf of the Chamber of Commerce of Wheeling to second the remarks of his honor, the mayor, and extend to you a cordial and heartfelt welcome. "And to these words of wisdom we feel prompted to add our hearty congratulations over the fact that so many of you have been spared to meet together in this interesting reunion and to recount in the presence of your wives, children and friends the thrilling incidents of your eventful soldier life. "We further congratulate you that you have been spared to witness with your own eyes the wonderful and splendid results which have been achieved for our beloved country, by the labors and sacrifices rendered by yourselves and comrades. "We congratulate you that you have exchanged the weapons of war for the arts of peace; and that the one glorious flag of our country is honored, not only by the allegiance, but by the sincere devotion of both the blue and the gray. "In conclusion permit me to emphasize, if possible, our words of welcome, to extend our cordial greetings, and to wish you long life in which to enjoy the blessings you have earned for yourselves and your children, and to receive the honors with which a grateful country is glad to crown you." Maj. T. H. McKee responded to these two welcomes in a speech of considerable length, but which was full of interest. It was listened to attentively and frequently the applause was such that the speaker was obliged to stop and pause. His address abounded in political passages, was well delivered and was one of the most appropriate speeches of the occasion. At the conclusion of Major McKee's eloquent speech the crowd sang heartily, "Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom," the old soldiers coming in heartily on the chorus. Captain Dovener then said he was about to call on a man whose name was familiar to every old soldier of three states and to every old soldier of three states and to every person within sound of his voice, - Mr. A. W. Campbell, former editor of the Wheeling Intelligencer. Mr. Campbell's name was received with cheers. Mr. Campbell was called out from the crowd at the rear of the speaker's stand and escorted to the front by General Duvall, and after being presented by Captain Dovener to the audience proceeded to remark that he was on this occasion what, in military parlance, would be called a conscript. He had therefore no special speech to make. The occasion was a speech of itself. It spoke to us of the momentous days of the past, the stirring days of 1861, when the island whereon they were gathered was a camp where there were sworn in the first soldiers from the immediate border who had answered the call of the president of the United States for volunteers to save the national capital and beat back the wave of secession and rebellion that was threatening to sweep over us. "The historian of the future will have a subject worthy of his pen when he comes to write of those days on this border. He will dwell on that phase of the early conflict that in the opinion of the speaker reflected the highest glory on the loyal people of West Virginia. West Virginia had not voted for Abraham Lincoln in the presidential election pf 1860. The Republican party in her borders was a mere handful. The people as a whole were opposed to that party. All their partisan prejudices were against its ascendancy in the government. But they did not mistake the nature of the issue that was made in 1861. No appeal to their prejudices could disguise the fact from their patriotic instincts that the issue had ceased to be of a partisan character when the South, of which they were nominally a part, had taken up arms to overthrow the government of their fathers. It was then that they ceased to think of themselves as partisans and gave to the world am exhibition of high and devoted loyalty that has never been surpassed in our history. Who can say what might have been the ultimate result of the great conflict had the people of this border thrown their weight and influence into the opposing scale and made of this island another Vicksburg to thwart the navigation of this river and hinder and delay the operations of the government by land and water? Who can say what difference it might have made had the 33,000 loyal troops of West Virginia been enlisted on the other side? That was a time when it did not need a great deal to turn the scale. It is not too much to say that the troops raised on the borders of the slave states saved the Union. They represented the sentiment within the border states that stayed and beat back the rebellion, that enabled the government to get a foothold in the enemy's country. We never can sufficiently honor the men along this border, who saw their duty clear in the dark days of 1861, and it is indeed well that we have these reunions of the heroic men who answered their country's call in those days. These occasions are schools for young who have since appeared on the stage of action. They here learn the story of the war in an impressive way. They see their fathers and grandfathers gathered here, carrying these flags and wearing the insignia of their service, and they hear from familiar lips personal references to the events that have now become matters of history. When I look upon these veterans and remember that year by year these ranks must grow thinner, I think of the welcome that was given by Daniel Webster to the veterans who fifty years after the battle of Bunker Hill appeared once more on the scene to witness the laying of the corner-stone of its now historic monument. 'Venerable men,' said Webster, 'you have come down to us from another generation. Your deeds made it possible for us to assemble here to-day under the flag of our country and commemorate your sacrifices.' So I say to these border veterans who are gathered here on this island to-day, it was your loyalty, your heroism, your sacrifices that preserved this flag that floats above us and made it still the emblem of an undivided country. We owe it all to you, and therefore we extend to you to-day our heartfelt greetings." After the singing of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," and the announcement of the meeting there next year of the Society of the Army of West Virginia by Captain Carlin, Captain Carlin, Captain Dovener read a letter from Gen. B. F. Kelley, presenting his excuse for absence and expressing his regret, but urging all the boys to meet in Wheeling next. The latter evoked applause. Professor Crago read a fine poem, "The Last Reunion," in that eloquent manner of which he is master. It aroused enthusiasm. Col. George B. Caldwell was then introduced by Captain Dovener as "one of the biggest soldiers in the army." Colonel Caldwell was greeted with enthusiastic applause and cheers. He made a model reunion speech, short, boiling over with enthusiasm, full of personal reminiscences, not without graver feeling, and concluding with a peroration which was the most eloquent thing heard from the stand during the afternoon. It was generally voted the best speech made, and this verdict is just. Hon. Lorenzo Danford, of St. Clairsville, a captain in the Fifteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was then presented, and made an eloquent speech, urging upon the old soldiers their duty to do all in their power to secure pensions for comrades who were entitled to them. These sentiments ere heartily indorsed. His eulogy of Lincoln was grand, and aroused the crowd wonderfully. "Marching Through Georgia" was then sung and the crowd dispersed, with three cheers for Mother Holliday, whom Captain Dovener presented as a "mother in Israel, who gave four sons to the Union." The Society of the First Virginia Volunteer Infantry met in the Opera House in the evening, Gen. I. H. Duvall, president in the chair. S. F. Dean was made temporary secretary. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. It was moved that a vote of thanks be tendered to the Wellsburg Brass Band for their services on this occasion. An executive committee of five was named to have general management of the next reunion, the committee being E. C. Irwin, S. F. Dean, C. J. Rawlings, James A. Henry and William Gilchrist. A committee of three was also appointed to formulate rules for the government of the society. The chair appointed T. H. McKee, J. A. McCauly and Hon. Thayer Melvin. A general advisory committee of four was appointed, consisting of Capt. G. M. White, Hon. Thayer Melvin, Capt. Thomas Reed and W. A. Harp. It was moved by Captain Robb that the next annual reunion be held on the first day of the meeting of the Society of the Army of West Virginia, which was adopted, it was agreed that as many of the members as are in the city attend the funeral of Comrade Emery, of Company A, who died Wednesday (Note: John Emery, 1st WV Inf.). A resolution was adopted that the thanks of this society be tendered to Manager Forse for the use of the Opera House so generously adopted by a standing vote: "Resolved, That the thanks of this society in behalf of all our comrades be tendered to the ladies' committee having in charge the entertainment of the veterans. All feel deeply our indebtedness to them for their valuable aid in making this reunion a success, and to the citizens and soldiers of Wheeling we desire to express our obligations for another evidence of their hospitality furnished this day. To Capt. William Price & Company our warmest thanks are returned for free transit across the river by the pontoon bridge - a big-hearted boatman's characteristic act." The rest of the evening was spent in holding a regimental camp fire, during which a number of interesting speeches were made, notably by Col. Henry Hubbard, Hon. Thayer Melvin and a number of others. The boys separated feeling that the reunion had been an entire success. Colonel Hubbard's address was in the nature of an historical sketch, and it was so interesting and valuable to the members of the regiment and their friends that it is appended in full: "Comrades and Fellow Soldiers: I will not say your call has taken me by surprise, for a soldier to be surprised is to be disgraced. So anticipating your call I have prepared from memory a short sketch of the First West Virginia Infantry in the three months' service. In doing this it may be well to review the anomalous condition in which the Union men of the border slave states were placed at the commencement of the war. From the standpoint of state sovereignty they were rebels, and as rebels beyond a doubt would they have been treated and punished by fine, imprisonment, confiscation or death had the South succeeded in disrupting the tie that bound the Union together. "Serious as the outlook was in this direction, it was backed by distrust on the part of the government at Washington to such an extent that they were refused arms with which to assist that government, or with which to protect themselves. In support of this statement let me state a fact which to many of you may be novel, - that is that the guns with which we were armed were furnished by the governor of Massachusetts at the solicitation of A. W. Campbell, S. H. Woodward, E. M. Norton and perhaps others. Such, then, was the condition of the Union men of the border slave states, - cursed as traitors by their state government, and viewed with suspicion by the government at Washington. Such being the case, it is not to their credit that there were men who could view unappalled the approach of the storm which was to burst in fury on their heads, unsheltered as they were by the general government, and cast out by the state to which they owed allegiance, an allegiance they would have gladly paid in any other cause than the rending of the bonds that bound the states together? The trepidation, frown of uncertainty, which affected the boldest, was thrown to the winds when the government proclaimed she would recognize the Union men of the coder slave states, give them arms and commission the officers. But the First Virginia was formed before this, when all was darkness and uncertainty, when no one knew who was to be depended on save God and the right. "Previous to this, however, a number of companies have been formed here and known as the Home Guards. Some of these were made up of men beyond the period of active service, who when called on to enter the service of the United States, had to decline, while others were composed of younger men, who volunteered to a man. Well do I remember the casting about for arms for these same Home Guards, and the heterogeneousness of their equipment, - old flint-lock muskets which had seen service in the Revolution, if not in Queen Anne's time, horse pistols, squirrel rifles, and shot guns, many of which were mire to be dreaded at the breech than at the muzzle. It was from the ranks of these Home Guards that a large portion of the regiment was recruited. "The roll of the captains as they stood on the roster, was: Andrew H. Britt, Company A; Edward W. Stevens, Company B; Isaac N. Fordyce, Company C; Montford S. Stokley, Company D; George C. Trimble, Company E; James Connolly, Company F; James F. Kuhn, Company G; Thos. C. Park, Company H; ?. W. Chapman, Company I; George W. Robinson, Company K. The lack of military knowledge was so great amongst us that it made the selection of a colonel one of the greatest difficulty, as no home resident was known who had ever more than shouldered a broom stick a a militiaman; but it was solved by sending for B. F. Kelley, then of Philadelphia, a man who, in bygone times, had directed the movements of the cornstalk and broomhandle brigades at the militia musters on the commons, which then girted our city. "How happy the selection, none here need to be told, but history will tell to the generations yet to come, scarcely had the regiment been mustered, when the enemy, who had made a lodgment on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Grafton, sent a detachment to burn the bridges at this end of the road. No sooner was this known than the order to march was given and this at a time when not a single thing saved muskets and ammunition had been issued. Not a tent, blanket, haversack, canteen, or cooking utensil, not even a cartridge box in which to carry their ammunition. "Taking the cars here, they moved to the burnt bridges, and from there taking the advance, supported by the gallant fellows from Ohio and Indiana, moved toward Grafton, from which point the enemy fell back at their approach to Phillipi. From Grafton a move to Phillipi was made, which, though successful, was at the cost of a serious wound to the Colonel, which was so severe that it retired him from active service for the remainder of his term of enlistment. This being among the first successful moves against the enemy, it received, as it deserved, no little applause. Called by the suffrage of the officers in an election held at Philippi, where five companies of the regiment were encamped at the time, to the honorable position of lieutenant-colonel.

D. 1886, personally appeared before me a Clerk of Circuit Court in and for the said County, duly authorized to administer oaths, the said applicant, John P. culver, aged Forty Six Years, whose Post Office address is Fulton Ohio Co., W. Va. Who being duly sworn declared in relation to said case as follows. In the fall of 1863, I believe to have been in September, about two -thirds of the 1st West Va. Infantry among them part of my Company [E- [the other one third of the Regiment had been captured], was stationed at Petersburg, Hardy Co., W. Va. I was at this time detailed to drive one of the Regiment’s four horse teams. On the day referred to, I was returning from a foraging expedition after hay near Moorefield, riding the saddle horse, driving the loaded team, my team being I believe in the lead, there begin three or four other teams in Company passing over a very rough, stony piece of road about dark. The horse I was riding fell and threw me over his head among the feet of the leading horses. I receiving at the time a blow or kick on the right hip, which, though severely felt at the time, did not entirely disable me and I managed to get free without other serious injury. This kick or blow resulted in laming me and yearly this laming worsens until for the past 5 years, I have been unable to ride a horse any distance or drive a team. Driving team and mining coal have been my occupation, but about nineteen [19] years ago I was taken with bleeding of the lungs when working in the coal mine. I cannot do any hard work now unless I have a return of this bleeding. I believe this bleeding of the lungs was caused by the fever and ague which I contracted when in the army and the exposure keeping to the performance of my duty as a soldier. I never received any treatment from the surgeon or the assistant [?] surgeon of the Regiment. I was treated by Dr. Ulrich of the City of Wheeling W. Va. Some time after my discharge from the army for the bleeding of the lungs. I am unable to get a physicians affidavit as to my condition [?] before enlistment for the reason that within y recollection, until during the war, I never had a physician preside [?] for me for any complaint. I never was in a hospital for treatment at any time and up to my enlistment was very strong and hearty, and so far as I know and believe, entirely free from disease or symptoms of disease, particularly of bleeding of the lungs.

Notes for GEORGE W. CULVER: There is an obituary in the 'Wheeling News Register', that says, "On, Sunday, Feb. 7, 1915, at 4:30 o'clock, at the family residence, No. 173 National Road, Fulton, George W. Culver, in his 72nd year." And on the 9th, "Funeral services on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Friends of the family respectfully invited to attend. Interment at Stone Church Cemetery." Also, in a volume found titled, "Stone United Presbyterian Church, George W. Culver, age 72". The number 1862 is his interment number. #1 was dated 1 Sept., 1873. Fulton is a section of Wheeling along U. S. Rte 40. It is located on the east side of Wheeling Hill. On the west side of the hill is the original city of Wheeling, and the Ohio River. The top of Wheeling Hill is where McColloch made his famous leap over the side of the hill to escape from indians. In 1915, Fulton was about 3/4 to a mile from Wheeling. I don't know when it was incorporated into the city, but it must have been around that time. Wheeling grew east along Rte 40, through Dimmeydale, Edgewood, and Elm Grove.

[He may have been Octava's brother.] VETERANS Culver, John P. - Priv. - 22 - Oct. 17, 1861 - Re-enlisted Jan. 1, 1864 MEMORANDA: The First Regiment West Virginia Infantry Volunteers was organized at Wheeling, in May 1861, from volunteer companies from Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, and Marshall counties, which had been formed in April 1861 to resist aggressions from that portion of Virginia which had seceded from the Union; and under the call of the President for 75,000 men, it was mustered into the service of the United States for the period of three months, under the command of Col. B.F. Kelley. On the __ day of May 1861, it left Camp Carlisle, at Wheeling, and proceeded to a bridge near Mannington, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which had been destroyed by the rebels. After remaining there for two days, it marched to Grafton, Taylor County, Va., where a body of State militia had been collected, under command of the rebel Col. Porterfield. Upon the approach of the Union force, Col. Porterfield retired to Phillippi, Barbour County, where, on the morning of the __ of June, he was attacked and completely outed by Col. Kelley's command. During the action Col. Kelley was seriously wounded in the breast. During the remainder of their three months service the regiment was separated. A detachment of five (5) companies served with General McClellan in the Rich Mountain campaign - another detachment was with Col. Tyler in the campaign against General Wise, who at that time had attempted an invasion of this portion of the State. The remainder of the regiment was stationed on the B & O R.R. The three months organization was mustered out of service on the 28th day of August, 1861, and the regiment was reorganized under the command of Col. Joseph Thoburn, who was Surgeon of the regiment in the three months service. This organization was perfected on the 14th day of November, 1861. During the period of recruiting and reorganizing the regiment, four (4) companies were sent to Burning Springs, Va., and thence to Romney, Va., where they were joined by the remainder of the regiment on the 9th of November 1861. Their regiment participated in the action at Blue's Gap, Va., January 7th, 1862, and was with the command of General Lauder at the evacuation of Romney, January 10th, and continued under his command until his death at Paw - Paw Tunnel, Va., in February, 1862. It then formed a part of the 3rd brigade of General Shields' division, and with it bore an active part in the battle of Winchester, Va., March 23rd, 1862; served with Shields' Division during the campaign in the Valley of Virginia in the months of April, May, and June, during which time it creditably performed hard, and laborious service. It was engaged at the battle of Port Republic, Va., June 8th and 9th and lost heavily. In July 1862, the regiment was assigned to the 4th Brigade of Rickett's Division, of McDowell's Corps, of the Army of Virginia. During the month of August, whilst in this command, it parrticipated in the actions at Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9th; Rappahannock Station, August __th; Thoroughfare Gap, August 28th; and in the second battle of Bull Run, August 29th and 30th, 1862. In October, 1862, the 1st Virginia* was sent to Wheeling to recruit, and on the 24th of November, 1862, was ordered to report to General Kelley, and was sent to North Mountain, Va., where it remained until March, 1863, when it was assigned to the 2d Brigade, 1st Division, 8th Army Corps, at Romney, Va., and remained there until June 1863, when it joined General Kelley's command in the Maryland campaign of July, 1863. Col. Mulligan's Division, of which the 1st West Virginia formed a part, was sent to Petersburg, W.Va. on the 16th of August, 1863, whence a detachment of five (5) companies of the regiment were sent to Moorefield, W. Va. This detachment was attacked on the 5th of September by General Imboden's Brigade, which was repulsed with small loss. Before daylight on the morning of the 11th of September, it was again attacked by surprise by a detachment of Imboden's Brigade, under command of McNeil, in which the camp and a large portion of the command was captured. On the 30th of January, 1864, the regiment, with the remainder of the forces at Petersburg, under command of Col. Thoburn, retreated to New Creek, W. Va., before a superior force of the enemy under command of General Early. On the 25th of February 1864, the regiment was sent to Wheeling on veteran furlough, and on the 1st of April joined General Sullivan's command at Webster, W.Va. , where it was attached to the 2d Brigade, commanded by Col. Thoburn. During the months of April and May 1864, it was in General Sigel's campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, and participated in the battle of New Market, May 14th and 15th; continued in the same organization during the campaign of General Hunter, being meritoriously engaged in the battles of Piedmont, June 5th 1864, and at Lynchburg, June 17th and 18th, and was with General Hunter's army in it's retreat from Lynchburg to the Kanawha River. In July and August it participated in the campaign of General Crook against Early in the Shenandoah Valley, and was engaged in the battles of Snicker's Ferry, July 18th 1864, and at Winchester on the 24th day of July. In the months of August, September, and October, it formed part of the Army of West Virginia, in General Sheridan's Army, and was actively engaged at Cedar Creek, August 12th 1864; at Berryville, September 3rd; at Charlestown, August __, and at Halltown, August 26th. At the battles of Opequan, September 19th; Fisher's Hills, September 23rd, and of Cedar Creek, October 19th 1864, the regiment was in reserve At the latter place, Col. Thoburn of the 1st W.Va. commanding the 1st Division, Army of West Virginia, was mortally wounded; an accomplished and talented gentleman, a brave and chivalrous soldier, a skillful and efficient officer; possessing those qualities in a high degree which fitted him for an exalted station. In his death, West Virginia has suffered an irreparable loss. On the 29th of October the regiment was sent to Cumberland, Md., whence the non - veterans were sent to Wheeling to be mustered out of service. The remainder of the regiment was then consolidated into a Battalion of four (4) companies, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Jacob Weddle. By the order of the Secretary of War, dated December 10th 1864, the Battalion was consolidated with the 4th W.Va. Infantry, forming the Second Regiment West Virginia Veteran Volunteers, and is now stationed at Cumberland, Md. Loyal West Virginia 1861-1865, by Theodore Lang, 1895; pages 233-235. The First Regiment Of Virginia Union Volunteer Infantry History (Three Months' Service.) http://www.lindapages.com/1wvi/1wvi-history1.htm The history of the First Regiment of Virginia Union Volunteer Infantry antedates the organization and formation of the new State. It was a part of the old Virginia military establishment, Governor Peirpoint having been appointed Provisional Governor of the State of Virginia by President Lincoln, the State government being established at Wheeling, by reason of that portion of the State east of the Alleghanies having joined its fortunes with the Confederacy through the operation of secession. This regiment of Loyal Virginia Infantry was the first regiment organized on Southern soil for the defense of the nation under the call of President Lincoln. The regiment was organized at Wheeling, the first company being mustered into the service of the United States on May 10, 1861. On May 23, the organization of the regiment was complete, Colonel Benjamin F. Kelley being assigned to the command by the then Provisional Governor of Virginia, Francis H. Peirpoint. The condition of the public mind in and about the city of Wheeling at the time this regiment was organized was such that grave fears were entertained by very many loyal people that it would be unsafe to send arms and equipments of war with which to equip this regiment, to the city of Wheeling. Several patriotic gentlemen whose loyalty never was questioned, residents of Wellsburg, the county seat of Brooke, the adjoining county on the north, made application to the Secretary of War, and through the kind offices of Governor Andrews, of Massachusetts, arms were secured for this regiment. They were sent to Wellsburg in the care of Messrs. W. H. Carothers and Cambell Tarr. Louis Applegate and Adam Kuhn were associated with them in the receiving and transferring of these arms by steamboat to Wheeling, where they were turned over to the regiment. On May 27, the regiment was placed under marching orders. The good people of Wheeling had furnished them with a supply of blankets and clothing, but they were without knapsacks, haversacks, cartridge-boxes or any other of the habiliments of regularly organized troops, save that in their hands they clasped an old United States Springfield musket. Colonel Kelley applied for transportation to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which was refused upon the grounds that the railroad company proposed to remain neutral in the question of war as between the sections, the agent stating that an order had been issued that the road would not carry either troops or munition of war for either side. Colonel Kelley emphasized the following language in reply to the agent: "This is war. Railroad companies cannot be their own masters. They are to serve the government that guarantees to them possession and protection for their property. You have a train of cars in the depot to-morrow morning at four o'clock or I will place you in prison and take possession of your railroad by military authority." No further argument was needed. The agent communicated with the company and the cars were accordingly furnished and afterwards, throughout the entire war, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad continued to perform any service necessary for the successful transaction of the war. The regiment left Wheeling May 27th on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. They were joined at Benwood by some Ohio troops under Colonel Irvin, and two days afterwards, at Camp Buffalo, the 15th Ohio joined the command. On the 31st, Grafton was occupied by our troops, while the Confederates under Colonel Porterfield retired. On the morning of June 3, the first battle was fought at Philippi, West Virginia, in which the First Virginia participated, Colonel Kelley being wounded in the affray. Here is a notable incident in the history of the regiment. It was not only to bear in history the record of having been the first loyal regiment formed on Southern soil, but the additional historic incident is now given to it by reason of Colonel Kelley being the first officer wounded in the great War of the Rebellion. It would be impossible to trace out the meanderings of this regiment through the three months' service that followed. Suffice it to say they participated in all the historic campaign of the early war in the mountains of West Virginia. The regiment completed its service and returned to Wheeling, where it was mustered out of service on the 28th day of August. Of the three months' organization it is sufficient to say that Henry B. Hubbard, of Wheeling, was lieutenant-colonel; Isaac H. Duval, of Wellsburg, was major; John B. Lukens, of Wheeling, was adjutant; Isaac M. Pumphrey was quartermaster; Dr. Joseph Thoburn was surgeon, and Dr. J. D. M. Carr, assistant-surgeon. Loyal West Virginia 1861-1865, by Theodore Lang, 1895; pages 236-243. The First West Virginia in the Three Years' Service History Immediately after the three months men were discharged, on August 30, Dr. Joseph Thoburn, the former surgeon of the regiment, received the appointment of colonel for the purpose of reorganizing the regiment, which event was consummated about October 30, 1861. The regiment began its career in the three years' service by four companies being sent to the Little Kanawha, Wirt County, Virginia, to suppress insurrection and dispel a band of marauders known as moccasin rangers, who were devastating the country in the oil region about November 12, where they became a part of the command of General Kelley who was then occupying this advance position as a part of the defense line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Here, again, that wonderful history of which much has been written, but of which there remains much that never shall be told, was enacted. From the beginning of Kelley's first command at Romney to the close of the last scenes of the war at Appomattox, a part of this regiment participated in every engagement fought in the valley or the great campaigns which became a part of the history of the war, other than the army of the Potomac. A short summary may give a faint idea of what the service of this regiment was. From Romney, in the winter of 1861 and 1862, to Patterson's Creek, where General Lander assumed the command of that grand division of men afterward known as Shields' Division, thrown together as a distinctive army; afterwards to Paw Paw Tunnel, where the lamented Lander died and then by the coming of General Shields, they began to weave history which stretched onward, covering the first battle of Winchester, March 23, 1862, where Stonewall Jackson was routed and driven from the field. On June 9, at Port Republic, the troops of this division won for themselves an imperishable name. No battle of the war has crowded into it so much heroism and gallantry on the field, where our forces were greatly outnumbered. Our 3000 accomplished on that field that wonderful defense which the Confederates claim was the result of 10,000 men present. In July 1862, the regiment went with a part of the divisions to join that of General Rickets, a part of McDowell's corps, Army of Virginia, in which command it participated in the battles of Cedar Mountain, Rappahannock Station, Thoroughfare Gap and the second battle of Bull Run, August 29 and 30. At the close of the Bull Run campaign, the regiment was assigned to duty in the defense of Washington, being stationed at Arlington Heights. At this time it is worthy of note to say that the regiment came out of the second battle of Bull Run without a commissioned officer on duty. Sergeant Major Johnson commanded the regiment and marched it from Fairfax Station to Arlington Heights. In October, 1862, the regiment was transferred from the defense of Washington to the Department of West Virginia, where they assisted in opening the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to Harper's Ferry, and took post at North Mountain, being assigned to the Second Brigade of the First Division of the Eighth Army Corps. During the summer of 1863, they participated in the campaigns of that department, making many long and difficult marches, co-operating with the forces on the flank of Meade's army, during the Gettisburg campaign, taking post in August at Petersburg, West Virginia. On September the 11, at Moorefield, five companies of the regiment were captured by the Confederate forces under McNeill, with a part of Imboden's command. These five companies were taken to Richmond, a portion of the men being exchanged during the winter of 1863-64, but the eight officers there captured, excepting Captain Reed, Company H, were held prisoners of war until the close of the Rebellion. The winter of 1863-64 was memorable in the regiment's history for the service rendered in the defense of the line of railroad, in resisting Confederate raids and preventing destruction of property. On the 25th of February, 1864, the regiment was sent to Wheeling on veteran furlough, and on the 1st of April it again entered active service, joining Sullivan's command at Webster, West Virginia, where it was attached to the Second Brigade, commanded by Colonel Thoburn. In May, 1864, it participated in Sigel's campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, taking part in the battles of New Market, May 14 and 15, and continuing in the same organization during the campaign of General Hunter, bearing an honorable part in the battles of Piedmont, June 5, and Lynchburg, June 17 and 18, retreating from Lynchburg to the Kanawha Valley. In July and August it participated in the campaigns of General Crook against the Confederate General Early, in the Shenandoah Valley, and took part in the battle of Snicker's Ferry, July 18, and Winchester, July 24. In the months of August, September and October, it formed a part of the Army of West Virginia, in General Sheridan's department, and was actively engaged at Cedar Creek, August 12; at Berryville, September3; at Charlestown, August 22 and at Halltown, August 26; at the battle of Opequon, September 19; Fisher's Hill, September 23, and Cedar Creek, October 19. In this last engagement, Colonel Thoburn was killed, he being then in command of the First Division of the Army of West Virginia. On October 29, the regiment was sent to Cumberland, Maryland, where the three years' men not veteranizing were mustered out and the veterans were consolidated with part of the Fourth West Virginia Infantry, forming the Second Regiment of West Virginia Veteran Volunteers. In reviewing the history of this regiment, the field and staff, as composed at its organization, was Joseph Thoburn, colonel; Henry B. Hubbard, lieutenant-colonel, discharged on account of wounds, October 23, 1862; Isaac H. Duval, major, promoted to colonel of the Ninth Virginia Infantry, September 9, 1862; Jacob Weddel, major, November 1862, also lieutenant-colonel, December 4, 1862; E. W. Stevens, major, December 4, 1862; James McElroy was the first adjutant of the regiment, November 13, 1861. He was succeeded by John W. Dougherty. Dougherty and McElroy both succeeding to captaincies in the regiment, Henry J. Johnson became adjutant, September 23, 1862. W. T. Singleton was the quartermaster, Dr. David Bagley, surgeon, and the following named persons were assistant surgeons at different dates: A. W. D. Kraft, S. B. Stidger, James L. Gillespie, John English. Revs. Gordon Battelle and Wm. R. Howe served the regiment as chaplains. The many changes which occurred in the line officers of the regiment would require too much space in this short article. Suffice it is to say that when the regiment closed its three years' term of service, not a single captain of the original ten was mustered out with his company. Most of the companies were commanded by men who either started as lieutenants, or had been promoted from the ranks. Rank and File In the rank and file there were men as true and loyal, as ever bore arms in the defense of liberty and free government. It may not be amiss to state that of the per cent. of battleflags captured a greater number in proportion to the troops in the filed than by the troops of any other State. The names of many of the First West Virginia Infantry are enshrined forever on fields that shall live as among the marked spots where the conflicts of men took place in the War of the Rebellion. It would be doing injustice to others that any should be named, for among the unknown who fell and sleep in unmarked graves, West Virginia's greatest glory in unhonored and unsung, but we can all say: "All hail to the sons of the storm-born State, who gave their lives that liberty might live and that West Virginia may ever continue among the family of States."

Notes for PHILLIP MOORE TWEEDY: Rogers County OK G. T. Tweedy and Francis Tweedy was in Claremore OK in 1920 census Looking for info on these people... Author: D Creighton Date: 20 May 2000 12:00 PM GMT Surnames: MOORE, TWEEDY, CULVER I am looking for any information on my GGG Grandfather, Philip Moore Tweedy. I originally thought that Moore was Philip's middle name but I have recently been told that it was his last name when he was born, and that at a young age he left home and began working on a farm and took the name of that family...TWEEDY. Philip was supposedly born in Ohio County, WV. He had a sister, Della Moore, whom lived in PA at some point. Philip married Mary Virginia Culver in December of 1887. I have info that suggests that he was 21 and she was 18 at the time of the marriage. She was born in 1869 which would put Philip's birth around 1866. If anyone has any info that could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

George Washington came through in October 1770 from Fort Pitt. According to his journal of October 22nd, his visit to the area was heralded with a steady snow. He surveyed the area from Brown's Island to Cross Creek in Mingo. He noted that Mingo was inhabited by seventy members of the Six Nations. He also noted the wild life in the area, which included wild geese, ducks and turkeys. While he was here one surveyer was killed 38 miles south of Mingo. This caused him hesitation as to proceeding with surveying the area. They did continue as two Indian guides led them further into the territory. George returned in November 1770. The river was swollen and George noted about the commercial possibilities of the river. He noted that the river was being used by the Indians in their trading of furs during hunting season. They continued to Fort Pitt when their horses were brought to them. Here is the text from his journal entries. The Diaries of George Washington. Vol. 2. Donald Jackson, ed.; Dorothy Twohig, assoc. ed. The Papers of George Washington. Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1976. [October] October 22. Reachd the Mingo Town abt. 29 Miles by my Computation.Mingo Town (now Mingo Junction, Ohio) was an Indian village several miles below Steubenville, Ohio. "This was the only Indian village in 1766 on the banks of the Ohio from that place to Fort Pitt; it contained at that time 60 families." Mingo Town appears on Thomas Hutchins's 1778 map of the Ohio. Monday 22d. As it began to Snow about Midnight, & continued pretty steadily at it, it was about 1/2 after Seven before we left our Incampment. At the distance of about 8 Miles we came to the Mouth of Yellow Creek [1] (to the West) opposite to, or rather below which, appears to be a long bottom of very good Land, and the Assent to the Hills apparently gradual. There is another pretty large bottom of very good Land about two or 3 Miles above this. About 11 or 12 Miles from this, & just above what is calld the long Island [2] (which tho so distinguishd is not very remarkable for length breadth or goodness) comes in on the East side the River, a small Creek [3] or Run the name of which I coud not learn; and a Mile or two below the Island, on the West Side, comes in big stony Creek (not larger in appearance than the other) on neither of which does there seem to be any large bottoms or body's of good Land. About 7 Miles from the last Mentiond Creek 28 from our last Incampment, and about 75 from Pittsburg, we came to the Mingo Town Situate on the West side the River a little above the Cross Creeks [4]. This place contains abt. Twenty Cabbins, & 70 Inhabitants of the Six Nation. Had we set of early, & kept pritty constantly at it, we might have reachd lower than this place today; as the Water in many places run pretty swift, in general more so than yesterday. The River from Fort Pitt to the Logs Town has some ugly Rifts & Shoals, which we found somewhat difficult to pass, whether from our inexperience of the Channel, or not, I cannot undertake to say. From the Logs Town to the Mouth of little Bever Creek is much the same kind of Water; that is, Rapid in some places--gliding gently along in others, and quite still in many. The Water from little Bever Creek to the Mingo Town, in general, is swifter than we found it the preceeding day, & without any shallows, there being some one part or other always deep which is a natural consequence as the River in all the distance from Fort Pitt to this Town has not widend any at all nor doth the bottoms appear to be any larger. The Hills which come close to the River opposite to each bottom are steep; & on the side in view, in many places, Rocky & cragged; but said to abound in good land on the Top. These are not a range of Hills but broken, & cut in two as if there were frequent water courses running through (which however we did not perceive to be the case consequently they must be small if any). The River along down abounds in Wild Geese, and severl. kinds of Ducks but in no great quantity.[5] We killd five wild Turkeys today. Upon our arrival at the Mingo Town we receivd the disagreeable News of two Traders being killd at a Town calld the Grape Vine Town, 38 Miles below this; which causd us to hesitate whether we shoud proceed or not, & wait for further Intelligence. October 23. Stayd at this place till One Clock in the Afternoon & padled abt. 12 Miles down the River & Incamped. Tuesday 23. Several imperfect Accts. coming in agreeing that only one Person was killd, & the Indians not supposing it to be done by their people, we resolvd to pursue our passage, till we coud get some more distinct Acct. of this Transaction. Accordingly abt. 2 Oclock we set out with the two Indians which was to accompany us, in our Canoe, and in about 4 Miles came to the Mouth of a Creek calld Seulf Creek, [6] on the East side; at the Mouth of which is a bottom of very good Land, as I am told there likewise is up it. The Cross Creeks (as they are calld) are not large, that on the West side however is biggest. At the Mingo Town we found, and left 60 odd Warriors of the Six Nations going to the Cherokee Country to proceed to War against the Cuttawba's. About 10 Miles below the Town we came to two other cross Creeks [7] that on the West side largest, but not big; & calld by Nicholson French Creek. About 3 Miles or a little better below this, at the lower point of some Islands [8] which stand contiguous to each other we were told by the Indians with us that three Men [9] from Virginia (by Virginians they mean all the People settled upon Redstone &ca.) had markd the Land from hence all the way to Redstone--that there was a body of exceding fine Land lying about this place and up opposite to the Mingo Town--as also down to the Mouth of Fishing Creek. [10] At this Place we Incampd. October 24 Wednesday 24th. We left our Incampment before Sunrise, and abt. Six Miles below it, we came to the Mouth of a pretty smart Creek comg. in to the Eastward calld by the Indians Split Island Greek,[11] from its running in against an Island. On this C[ree]k there is the appearance of good Land a distance up it. Six Miles below this again, we came to another Creek on the West side, calld by Nicholson Weeling [12] and abt. a Mile lower down appears to be another small Water coming in on the East side, [13] which I remark, because of the Scarcity of them; fie to shew how badly furnishd this Country is with Mill Seats. Two or three Miles below this again, is another Run on the West side; up which is a near way by Land to the Mingo Town; and about 4 Miles lower comes in another on the East at which place is a path leading to the settlement at Redstone. Abt. A Mile & half below this again, comes in the Pipe Creek so calld by the Indians from a Stone which is found here out of which they make Pipes. Opposite to this (that is on the East side), is a bottom of exceeding Rich Land; but as it seems to lye low, I am apprehensive that it is subject to be overflowd. This Bottom ends where the effects of a hurricane appears by the destruction & havock among the Trees.[14] Two or three Miles below the Pipe Creek is a pretty large Creek on the West side calld by Nicholson Fox Grape Vine by others Captema Creek on which, 8 Miles up it, is the Town calld the Grape Vine Town; & at the Mouth of it, is the place where it was said the Traders livd, & the one was killd. To this place we came abt. 3 Oclock in the Afternoon, & findg. no body there, we agreed to Camp; that Nicholson and one of the Indians might go up to the Town, & enquire into the truth of the report concerning the Murder. References [1] Yellow Creek flows into the Ohio from the west, approximately 57 miles below Pittsburgh. [2] Probably Brown's Island, 9 miles below Yellow Creek. [3] This stream may be King Creek, flowing into the Ohio from the east (CLELAND, 250). [4] Creeks flowing into the Ohio from opposite shores appear at several points on the Ohio and on the early maps are designated as Cross Creeks. The two referred to by GW are about 3 1/4 miles below present-day Steubenville, Ohio. The creek on the Ohio side is Indian Cross Creek; that on the West Virginia side, Virginia Cross Creek (see CRAMER, 80). [5] The stretch of the river between Fort Pitt and Mingo Town was similarly described by Capt. Harry Gordon: "The country between these two Places is broken, with many high ridges or hills; the vallies narrow, and the course of the river plunged from many high grounds which compose its banks. When the water is high, you go with moderate rowing from six to seven miles an hour" (POWNALL, 158). [6] Probably Beech Bottom Run, near Wellsburg, W.Va. [7] GW is referring to a second set of cross creeks, Indian Short Greek on the Ohio side and Virginia Short Creek on the West Virginia side (CRAMER, 82). [8] These must be Pike Island and the Twin Islands (see CRAMER, 82). [9] These men were possibly Silas, Ebenezer, and Jonathan Zane, members of a prominent pioneer family, who had explored this area in 1769 and moved their families to the vicinity of present-day Wheeling, W.Va., about 1770. [10] Fishing Creek flows into the Ohio River near New Martinsville, W.Va., some 32 miles below Wheeling (CRAMER, 85). [11] Probably Wheeling Creek and Wheeling Island, site of Wheeling, W.Va. [12] This creek may be McMahon's Creek, 2 miles below Wheeling (CRAMER, 84). [13] McMahon Run enters the Ohio near McMechen, W.Va. (CLELAND, 253). [14] Pipe Creek enters the river from the Ohio side, about 7 miles above Captina Creek in Belmont County, Ohio. GW later acquired this bottomland. In advertising his Ohio lands for sale, 1 Feb. 1796, he described it as "Round Bottom . . . about 15 miles below Wheeling, a little above Captenon, and opposite to Pipe-Creek; bounded by the river in a circular form for 2 miles and 120 poles containing 587 acres" (WRITINGS, 34:438). Here are photographic copies of two entries in which Washington journaled his visit to the Mingo town. http://www.lucky-13.com/MJ1/geowash.html xv. SON TWO TWEEDY, d. Unknown.

OLLIE FRANKLIN6 CULVER (MARY VIRGINIA5, JOHN P.4, ANDREW3, ANDREW2, CULVER1) was born February 23, 1887 in Greggsville, Ohio Co., WV, and died March 26, 1962 in Prescott, Yavapai Co., AZ-Ft. Whipple Hospital. He married LEAH ISABELLE DODDER March 20, 1918 in Battle Creek, Calhoun, Michigan, daughter of HOWELL DODDER and MARY BASSETT. She was born June 07, 1899 in Gaines Twn., Swartz Creek, MI, and died April 20, 1970 in Prescott, Yavapai Co., AZ. Notes for OLLIE FRANKLIN CULVER: When he was just a boy, he was messing around with an umbrella wire and a bow and shot at his grandpa John Culver's turkey. He got it, much to his surprise and had to hurry and bury it so he wouldn't get a "whippin'." Ollie was said to have went to school with all his half brothers and sisters. He was raised by his grandpa John Culver and his step grandma, Emma. He spent a lot of time with his uncle George also. It was said he only had a 3 year education in the schools. He was sharp and read the newspaper from front to back. He dearly loved his kids. It was said that he was a pushover and his wife Leah did most of the disciplining. He liked his coffee boiling hot and would eat his pancakes with bacon grease poured over the top. Ollie enlisted in the Army on March 17, 1906. He served in the Philippines, China and during the Mexican War of 1915. He also spent some time in Texas helping to chase Pancho Villa down. He was in Co. F, 37th Inf., Presidio, Camp Fulton, Texas. He served unter General Bell. We have pictures of him with his team and wagon in the army, and several of him on horseback. While he was there his wife's sixth cousin DeWitt Clinton Weld born in 1868 was also in Texas at the time Ollie was in 1916 in a New York Guard Unit. He was a major at the time, and in 1920, Dewitt was made Brigadier General and placed in command of the reorganized 52nd Field Artillery Association, only two Nat. Guard Officers from the entire United States being permitted to serve on this board. Ike Eisenhower was stationed in San Antonio in 1915 also. Ike was Leah's 5th cousin twice removed. During WWI he was with the American Expeditionary Force which saw duty in England and France in 1918. He was a sharpshooter, you got extra pay for that, and with his large family, he needed it. He was a Master Sgt. and was a cook in the army. He could dance, play the harmonica and sing. He served in the Philippines also. He was also a ROTC instructor at Chadsey High, 5335 Martin in Detroit, Michigan. He got a commendation, Aug 3, 1940 saying "Technical Sergeant Ollie F. Culver, R-2022569 DEML (ROTC), Detroit High Schools, Detroit, Michigan, has been on duty at this headquarters in charge of personnel work. During this period of time, Sergeant Culver has shown himself to be conscientious, trustworthy and dependable in the discharge of his duties and his untiring efforts in the handling of his work has been a large factor in making this camp a success." By J.V. Stark, Lt. Cpl., Inf, Executive. During the Prohibition, [1932?] Ollie served as a West Virginia Trooper. His main job was hunting down bootleggers. On one occasion they had caught a drunk who saved his own skin by telling Ollie where he had gotten the liquor. The tip led the Troopers to a cabin back in the woods. They met the old lady of the house who adamantly refused to let the Troopers in. Finally she consented and allowed them to enter. She stood in the middle of the room ironing furiously, cursing and complaining while they investigated her cabin. Their search was to no avail and they sat for a moment. Then it dawned on Ollie that the lady was ironing nervously. He noticed that she was also standing on a large oval rug and he suddenly realized what was going on. They asked her to move and sure enough there was a trap door underneath. They opened the trap door revealing the still they were looking for. Case closed. Ollie and another Trooper would sit on a porch each day watching vehicles cross a bridge. A particularly peculiar bounce was an indication of a whisky transport and when they saw a vehicle bounce that way, they would hop on their motorcycles and chase them down. One day they saw a truck with a large load of lumber go by, then return after a while. They thought, now that's a big load of lumber. The next day they saw the same truck with the same load of lumber, and decided to pull it over. They looked the truck over but found nothing unusual. Ollie thought about it for a moment and figured that the bed of the truck was unusually deep. He checked and discovered the hidden bins of whiskey. And there was the time he and his partner were chasing a vehicle. Ollie always rode in the side car of the motorcycle. This time the bolt came loose, and unbeknownst to the driver, the side car took a little detour down an embankment, clear across a field and smack dab into a fence. It was when his partner turned to say something to Ollie that he realized Ollie was no longer attached to the motorcycle and had to break off the chase to go looking for him. It was while Ollie was working there that Grandma was able to acquire her only expensive hat and dress, worth two hundred dollars at the time. However, Ollie was forced to quit as it was getting very dangerous. He retired as a master sergeant in 1940 and went to work as a civilian guard at Romulus Airport in Detroit, MI. He moved to Prescott in 1944. Ollie died at Fort Whipple Hospital at 9:30 a.m. Services were held at Whipple Chapel by Chaplain Paulding B. Forry. His buriel was in Mountain View Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.

WV State Troopers 1928: The Division of Motor Vehicles was authorized to hire 20 additional inspectors at an annual salary of $1,200. Five hundred applications were received and the Virginia Highway Patrol grew to a total of 51. These new employees were the first to receive indoctrination and training by Director Hayes. This first training was held in a committee room in the old hall of the House of Delegates. Motor vehicle operation was clearly not on the agenda as it is stated that one new inspector was issued a 1928 Ford which he could not drive because it had a "shifter" and he had never driven an automobile with a shift. It was insisted that he take the vehicle to his appointed station at West Point. This was completed with a chauffeur and upon arrival, the inspector was taught how to drive by the local chief of police. The uniform was now Oxford gray, with dark blue stripe and trimmings. Riding boots and a visor cap set off the blouse and breeches. In addition to highway patrol and the enforcement of motor vehicle statutes, the inspectors began pursuing traffickers of illegal whiskey. Hundreds of violators were apprehended during prohibition days. Many pursuits ensued over paved roads, dirt roads and paths through woods. Members of the Division of Motor Vehicles recommended that legislation be enacted requiring operators of motor vehicles to undergo an examination to determine their ability to drive. If the test was successfully completed a license to drive was to be issued, and this legislation marked the first issuance of drivers’ licenses in Virginia. There were now 394,873 registered motor vehicles in the Commonwealth and vehicles continued to have problems with the mechanical and electrical safety devices. Enforcement of the recent legislation concerning brake, lights and windshields was a task beyond the capabilities of the 51 state enforcement officers; therefore, the General Assembly passed new legislation requiring motor vehicles to be submitted for inspection of their mechanical equipment. This placed the inspection under state supervision. Ollie was 75 when he died. He served 35 years. But got credit for 40 because of his time in the Philipines. Notes for LEAH ISABELLE DODDER: She was born in Gaines, Michigan on June 7, 1899. She married Ollie March 20, 1918. When she died, the Hampton Funeral Home handled the Funeral. Pastor Weatherbee, Baptist, did the service. They lived in Arizona from 1944. She loved to read, to travel, always had a garden, raised chickens, rabbits etc., was a very good cook, and dearly loved her family. She had interesting sayings like "well I'll be dipped in iron and set in a park" and "Judas Priest". She always wore a dress. She had strict morals. She got alzheimer's at the end of her life. When we were little, we used to run in the house when uncle Jim was heckling us and tell grandma. She'd get the broom and go after him. We loved it! They always named the critters they had after folks in the family. So when you read her diaries, be aware! She was a home body. A post card that was sent to Leah from Ollie said: Mrs. Leah Culver 23 Marjorie St. Battle Creek, MI O.F. Culver Hq Es 337th Inf. Vessel Aquitanie [YMCA Post Card with printed message: The land of the Free and the Home of the Brave] Dated March 30th Dear wife, Arrived in NY today, don't know when we will leave for Custer, but it will be very soon, there is only Division Hdqrs, Brigade Hqr's, and Hq Co., and supply Co., of the 337th Inf. that is all of the 82th that have arrived so far. Will see you soon. O.F.C. Leah said that when visiting with grandma Scrivener, that she told her that Jane was married five times. I have only found evidence of 3 marriages so far. In a tiny book just called 'notes', I found this written. "June 8, 1966. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson sold their place and moved away this morning. I shall miss them very much." My grandmother was not close to many people and I imagine this was very hard on her. It was 4 years after Ollie had died. The Klondike Gold Rush was in 1897, President McKinley was shot 1901, 1913 the graduated income tax was instituted as a way to punish or soak the rich, depending on how you look at it and redistribute income, 1913 the Federal Reserve System was started and Karl Marx urged a central bank in his platform with a restriction on the free enterprise system. So far in the family, Mary died of a heart attack. Ginny from lung cancer. Margaret had diabetes and hardening of the arteries. Jim has diabetes and had gall bladder trouble. Lois won't go to the doctor.... She had cataracts though and Jim did also and Lois's son Daniel had some removed last year at age 47, her daughter Sandy died at 25 from cancer and Lois's daughter Nancy had breast cancer. Bob has arthritis very badly. Grandma Leah had Alzheimers and heart trouble, I know Jacob and Al had diabetes. My son Daniel was born with a cleft lip and palate and has had two tumors removed. My older brother Michael died at two months from an enlarged heart. My brother has acid reflux. My sister Sharon gets migraines. My grandson has Juv. diabetes, my granddaughter was born with a hole in her heart. My great niece was born with an extra thumb joint on one hand and several nephews with webbed toes. I don't see any particular pattern to anything though. Children of OLLIE CULVER and LEAH DODDER are: 20. i. MARY HELEN7 CULVER, b.

Notes for MARY HELEN CULVER: She was a hard worker, she loved her children and grandchildren. She was a good cook she made the best apple pie! - lots of fun to be around. We always felt welcome at her house. She would help us any time. I remember going on picnics where we would have bacon and pancakes and play pinecone baseball with Aunt Mary and the kids. My mom, Betty, really missed her when she died. She missed her morning visits/phone calls. Information from Betty Wertenberger: Mary loved her children and sacrificed for them. When her first husband would keep leaving her, she would be without money or food. When she was staying in a tent at Indian Creek, she would have to drive out there with her two little kids into a dark campground and with nothing but a flashlight. She said she was so afraid. She was having a miscarriage shortly after Herb left and living in the tent. She went in to see Dr. Florence Yount. Dr. Florence wanted to put her into the hospital, but she would have had to put her children into a foster home in order to do that and she would not do it. She would not leave her kids alone. She had to chop wood and haul water to wash out there. No electricity, plus she had to work too. One time uncle Jim picked up a sack of potatoes from behind Central for Mary and the kids. They lived off that for a week. That was all they had. Notes for HERBERT DONALD STANDHARDT: He had amnesia and left Mary a lot. She finally had to divorce him. But, because of his working out here in Arizona, the whole family ended up moving out here! Notes for THOMAS LYLE KELLY: He served as a sergeant with the Military Police during WWII with Squadron E, 3702 AAF Battalion.

Mary. Virginia and Margaret. The family moved to Detroit where he was later joined by two more sisters and a brother, Lois, Betty and Bob. About 6 or 7 years later the family moved to a home with 3 acres in the country. It was about a mile from Inkster, Mi. Jim was in the 7th grade at Treadwell School when in July of 1944 we sold our home, bought a 1941 Ford and a 30' trailer home and started for Az. I think it took us about 2 weeks to arrive in Prescott. There were 4 children and our parents who made the move. The three older girls were married. Jim was 15 yrs. old but decided that was enough school for him. He went to work in the kitchen at the Central Cafe on Whiskey Row. He also worked at the Home Cafe and the White Cafe which were also on Whiskey Row. He worked at numerous other restaurants in Prescott, the Prospector's Skillet, St. Michael's, The Captain's Table, and The Wagon Wheel. He also worked at the Flagstone quarries, Merritt's Saw Mill in Chino Valley, on a ranch in Montana, at a Truck Stop in Wendover , Nev., at the Atomic Test Site in Nevada, for Dub and me [Lois] at Springerville Auto Wreckers and a Roller Skating Rink in Colorado for Bob and Linda Michaels. He retired and went on Social Security because of arthritis in his shoulders and knees. He entered the Pioneer's Home in October of 1995 at the age of 66. Jim had been a type I diabetic for a number of years. In June of 1999 he had knee replacement surgery on his left leg. He had surgery to implant a stent in an artery, then later in 2001 had valve surgery on his heart. His last three years were not good as he couldn't walk to town anymore to get a hamburger and a cup of coffee at a restaurant. He had been in a lot of pain for the last 4 or 5 months of his life. Jim left this world on June 22nd, 2003. He was 73 yrs, 359 days old. Jim you will be missed by many. May you rest in peace now. Written by his sister Lois Culver Figgs In 1999 the Culver life expectancy was 77 years vs 75 years for the general public. Most Culver immigrants to the US (31) came from Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland. Most Culver families (803) living in the US in 1880 lived in NY. In 1880 the top occupation for Culver was Farmer. Most Culver families (287) living in the US in 1920 lived in NY. Child of JAMES CULVER and SIRENA QUAIN is: i. WILLIAM ANDREW8 CULVER, b.
