     These is of my Culwell family. This  is my Aunt Lizzie Culwell she is the daughter of Charlie Culwell and Mary Stambaugh and in the picture with her is her second husband Hylo Brown. She was first married to Hark Witten. She passed away September 1993 of cancer. It is not certain when the picture was taken my guess would be 1965 or 66 at one of the family reunions or Papa's birthday.

 

Next are  my Grandparents    Charlie Culwell born May 15,1901 in Lawrence Co. Ky died December 30,1963 in Jackson County Ohio married Mary Stambaugh d/o Wallace Stambaugh and Jane Murray Jan.6,1920 in Johnson Co. Ky Mary was born Feb.11,1904 in Johnson Co. Ky and died July 3,1990 in Jackson Co. Ohio. They were the parents of 11 children. This is the home they moved into shortly after arriving in Jackson from Johnson Co. Ky.

    The one titled Mama at a reunion is Mary Stambaugh Culwell at a reunion  either in Jackson shortly after they moved there from Johnson co. or it is taken in Johnson Co. Ky no-one seems to know for sure. The woman standing next to her is simply known as Mrs. McKenzie I am hoping someone will see this picture and help me identify her. She is definitely from Johnson and still lived there at the time the picture was taken. The other woman is Aunt Lora Culwell Adams. Sorry that is all I have on this picture.I have to find the other reunion pictures that have the UNKNOWN Ky family in them. But I do have some of my Mama&Papa's kids and some of Papa's brothers and I have one of Papa with a fellow preacher. My Papa was a Baptist Preacher. We called him Papa instead of Grandpa...he died before I was born so I didn't know him and would like to find out more about his family. I forgot to mention that Papa {Charlie Culwell} is the son of William Culwell and Elizabeth McKenzie. William was also known to go by the last name Calwell and Caldwell.

     The one titled Culwell Sisters   is a picture of my Aunts and my Mom they are from L to R Aunt Barbara Culwell Cook, My mom Wanda Culwell Smith {pregnant with their first} Aunt Lora Culwell Adams and standing directly behind her is my Aunt Gladys Culwell Cook Wyatt. This was taken at my Papa's birthday dinner after they moved from Ky.

 

    Next we have  Papa Charlie Culwell with Preacher Reed here in Jackson after coming from Ky. Papa worked in which ever the big coal mine was there in Ky we have been unable to find any records of the coal mines. He got his back broke there and I have been trying to find his records but have been unsuccessful in even finding which mine it was. I am still looking for the Ky reunion/dinner photos as there are several people in them we do not know who they are. And the Culwell family has connections with: Burk, Bayes, Murray, Stambaugh, Preston, Crislip, Davis, Fannin an several other lines. Including Collier and Webb. Bill Crislip's father was married to one of William Culwell's daughters a sister to my Papa Charlie Culwell. She died but we have been unable to find out when her and her daughter died. Her only surviving child was Bill's half brother Roby Crislip.

 

In this picture is Lizzie Culwell Brown, standing next to her is Hylo Brown, on the other side of her is her sister Lora Culwell Adams and in front of her on other side of table is Gladys Culwell Cook Wyatt. Taken at one of the reunions.
