• Notes

  From Charles Culver : Claude Culver, the son of Jesse Culver and Mattie Butler, was born on June 20, 1874, and died on July 3, 1950 at 9:00 A.M. in the Jeff Davis Hospital in Houston, Texas from complications caused by cancer of the pancreas. Claude married Belle Boyd Baker, the daughter of William Kernay Baker and Mary Jane Polly, on June 23, 1896 in Corydon, Kentucky. Reverend Randolph, a Methodist Minister, performed the ceremony. After their move to Houston in 1909, Claude became a building contractor. He built many of the homes in the Heights area around Heights Boulevard. In 1920 he built their house at 610 Heights Boulevard. Belle Baker Culver lived there until October 1964 when she moved into a retirement home. The house burned when a careless housewife left an iron turned on, which overheated and started the fire. Their children: Twins, Claude and Belle were born February 5, 1897. The boy died at birth, the girl died on February 10, 1897. Belle Baker Culver slipped and fell on the back steps of their home causing premature birth of these children
