  JOHN CULBERTSON, deceased, was one of the early pioneers of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, and a son of John Culbertson, Sr., who was born in the highlands of Scotland, in Argylshire, near Campbelltown, and came to America in 1822, locating in Jefferson county, Indiana, where his four sons and four daughters were born. John Culbertson, the immediate subject of this sketch, born October 8, 1827, was the third son in his father's family. He possessed the same sterling qualities of integrity .and uprightness that characterized his father and which distinguish the sons of Scotland. In 1850 he came to Wisconsin to view the new country which was destined to be his future home, the journey being accomplished mostly on foot. He visited his father and brothers at Appleton, then but a collection of a few houses and stores, but after a short stay he returned to Indiana. In 1852 he again returned to Wisconsin to make it his permanent home, driving by horses and wagon. He located in the town of Greenville, ten miles west of the city of Appleton, near his father, and brothers, James, Matthew and Alexander. The country was then in its primitive state, deer and wolves abounding, and he experienced all the trials and hardships incident to pioneer life. In December, 1853, he married Miss Rachel E. Prentice, who was born in New York State in 1837, and here they lived until moving to the city of Appleton in 1895. Mr. Culbertson died May 1, 1905. He had seven children, four of whom, with his widow, are still living, they being; Mrs. Charles Benedict of Farmville, Virginia, Mrs. Benson Dawson, of New London, Wisconsin, Dr. Eliza M. Culbertson and Mertie I. Culbertson at home with their mother. Miss Mertie I. Culbertson has been a teacher in the Wausau schools for the past seven years, and Dr. Eliza M. Culbertson, the third daughter, received her education in the country school and at Oshkosh Normal school. She then taught several years and became assistant principal of the Fourth Ward school, of this city, a position she held for two years, then entered the American School of Osteopathy of Kirksville, Missouri, from which she was graduated in 1903. She practiced in London, Canada, for one year, then returned to Appleton where she now has a large practice and numerous acquaintances and personal friends in and outside of the profession. She is a member of both the State and National associations.
