For Culbertson, as for many other lesser- known historical figures (on a national scale), the local newspaper is often the best if imperfect means to achieve this. As to C. B. Culbertson it is more helpful due to his importance to the local community, and long association therewith. As the city’s first attorney, he drew up its articles of incorporation as a city in 1898 and was later elected to the State Assembly, for the record. Local first, though. Where did C. B. Culbertson live, exactly?

Just north of Mr. Moon is the short answer. The historic Moon residence was torn down in 1963 to make way for new construction at 901 North Broadway back in 1963, whereas the Culbertson residence just north of this at 915 North Broadway is still standing, among those building that appear in the first issue of The Republican, as defined locally and not from Iron County Wisconsin due north. Mr. Bridgman also had a newspaper entitled the Iron County Republican

The former site of First Presbyterian, now Heritage Baptist. First Presbyterian was the Culbertson‘s home congregation.

that he is quite likely to forget self entirely, to promote some plan for insuring the future greatness of Stanley,” the observation closes out, saying many such men are needed.

Appearing on all four pages of the first edition in various capacities, Culbertson is listed together with Anson Green as an attorney in the city. Of Mrs. Culbertson we might learn in part from the April 3, 1897 locals that, “Mrs. C. B. Culbertson returned Wednesday from a two weeks visit with relatives and friends at Augusta and Eau Claire.”

Fast forward to 1918 and we get an idea of some of those friends, with Mrs. C. B. Culbertson appearing with “Miss Bauer, Mrs. Lien, Mrs. Starr, Mrs. Bridgman, Mrs. Shaw…Miss Smith, Mrs. Frank Hollenbeck,” and Mr. Emil Johnson in the Presbyterian Church notes, whether in the Liberty Chorus or music service prior to locating in Stanley, as many are aware-but back to Mr. Culbertson. Just who was he, exactly?

In the first place, he was an attorney—and an insurance salesman, along with serving on many different county organizational boards. He was also married, to Augusta schoolteacher Lillian McCaffery in Augusta Wisconsin on September 19, 1895. She survived him at death, along with two sons, Charles D. Cuernavaca, Mexico and James of Glencoe, Illinois. In life, the Culbertsons had many different civic and other involvements, with Mrs. Culbertson serving on the local library board, said to give her much enjoyment. A review of the different seasons of life for the Culbertsons reveals a changing world, which they adapted to while serving others.

“Attorney C. B. Culbertson also manifests a like spirit,” Mr. Bridgman says on May 16, 1896 when speaking of L.G. Moon’s willingness to sacrifice. Of Culbertson it is said that, “we notice

Mrs. C.B. Culbertson (Lillian McCaffery) He was here from the time that Stanley was a village, until 54 or so years into ‘cityship,’ as W. H. Bridgman once called it.

Upon Culbertson’s death in 1951, the former state assemblyman made the front page of the local newspaper, as did Mrs. Culbertson almost four years later in 1954.

For those seeking the final resting place of Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson as to mortal remains, they are buried together in Oakland Cemetery, close to Mr. and Mrs. Bridgman, with the name “Culbertson” seen while facing east, towards the rising sun.

But who were Clarence Barker (C. B.) Culbertson and his wife Lillian in life? For that, we need to look closer than a mere gravestone mention or list of accomplishments and try to ascertain something of the man himself, which includes the times he lived in. LOCAL IMPACT

Fast forward again to the 1940, and Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson are touring the world, setting out from Los Angeles on the steamship President Coolidge, meeting Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Culbertson at Honolulu before setting out for Shanghai, Hong Kong , and Manila. Later that same summer they returned via Hawaii, having “abandoned a plan which had been considered to continue on around the world and return by way of the Atlantic,” on account of the war hazards in Europe.

When Mr. Culbertson died in 1951 at Marshfield, it was noted that, “though Mr. Culbertson loved to recall the past, he did not live in the past; though he enjoyed his contemporaries and they were his special friends, he did not confine himself to his generation in interest, outlook, or friendships.”

Following her husband in death four years later, it was said of Mrs. Culbertson that, “her abiding interest in her children and grandchildren continued through the years when retirement from active participation in events was denied her because of ill health.” Making her home the center of her many interests, Mrs. Culbertson died in early October of 1954, having been born on January 20, 1870 in Wabasha Minnesota, per her obituary.

Survived by five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson made a difference in their community, to which they stayed devoted through the years.
