Mrs CULBERTSON was possessed of an amiable and cheerful disposiiton, and endeared herself to all who become acquainted with her. Her death is a very severe blow to her husband, and to the whole family of Mr. John W. CULBERTSON, by whom she was loved and respected as though she had been their own daughter. As she was situated life was very dear to her, supplied with this world's goods, and surrounded with kind and devoted friends. She had much to live for, but she died resigned to her fate, with the hope of a better world beyond the grave.
