Biography* The following is excerpted from Part II of a ledger left by Josie Mary Culpepper Wilson Burger for her children, October 21, 1957 (Since there are some details such as Rowell Culpepper's burial that occurred after Josie's death, apparently another family member appended info):
     Uncle Jim was married twice. He had 2 children by his first wife: Maggie (Mrs. Travis Lowe), and Rowell. He had 5 children by Aunt Nan (who was Nancy Tucker before her marriage). They are J. C. (James Cecil), Edna (Mrs. Robert Stewart), Loraine, and the twins Leland Landry and Lelia Lillian (Mrs. Charles Meyers). (Uncle Jim, Aunt Nan, and J. C. are buried in Floresville, Texas. Edna, chronic diabetic, and Lillian, border line diabetic, both are at rest in Clyde, Texas, Leland is at rest in Refugio, Texas, Rowell was a tin smith and is buried in Corpus Christi. His sons live there and they are tin smiths. Uncle Jim went to a doctor in Victoria back in the later forties and received a pencillian shot and he was allergic to it. When he started sweating his skin just scuffed off. The last time I saw him alive I was about 12 and he actually looked like a skinned rabbit. They kept vasiline all over him to try to keep air from drying him out. His 6 foot plus frame was like 5 foot 8. He, of course, was bed ridden and lived about 2 years before the Lord gave him relief. His wife was the Aunt Nan that mama keeps referring to.).
