Mr. Culp was the last surviving male member of a family of ten, three sisters Barbara and Elizabeth of Vineland and Mrs. Anna Orth of Campden being the only remaining members. His wife predeceased him about eleven years ago and he is survived by a family of three daughters and four sons: Mrs. Alfred High, Mrs. Norman Fretz, Mrs. Harry Tufford, and Clayton, John, Alvin and Curtis, all of the home community. Funeral services will be held on Friday afternoon from the late residence to the Mennonite Church, with interment in the adjoining cemetery.
