Clipping from Columbus Ledger, Dec. 31, 1902 RUPTURE OF BLOOD VESSEL IN THE BRAIN Caused Death Of Jeff C. Culpepper Well Known Confederate Veteran Mr. Jeff C. Culpepper, age 71 years, a well known Confederate veteran, died at his residence, No. 1337 Twelth Ave., east of the city at noon Monday. The funeral occured yesterday afternoon, the interment being at Girard cemetery. The circumstances under which Mr. Culpepper, or rather under which he was stricken, were rather pecular. It seems that Saturday night he and another man were going up Wynn's hill when they both fell into a ditch. The man stated that he himself fell, but that Mr. Culpepper did not strike the ground as he was able to reach him in time to prevent his striking the ground violently, and let him down rather gently. It seems that Mr. Culpepper never regained consciousness. He was carried into a house nearby and later carried to his home. He was waited upon by Dr's Gill and Cosby, but he had sustained a fatal stroke or something like apoplexy. Paralysas was brought on by a rupture of a blood vessel in his head. His family thought that he had met his death as a result of foul play. There was a bruse on his head, and other bruses about his person from which they surmised that he had been roughly handled by someone. The coronerwas summoned but decided not to hold an inquest, as he did not think the county would not pay for it. The family were anxious to have an inquest held but did not have the funds with which pay the jury. One of the doctors said he was inclined to think that there was nothing in the theory of foul play; that Mr. Culpepper was quite old and possibly the blood vessel in the brain were distended, he might have sustained paralysis, which caused him to fall down or possibly the shock of the fall itself burst some of the blood vessels. Mr. Culpepper served in the war as a member of Company C Seventeeth of Camp Benning. He was a member of Camp Benning, and a number of members of the camp attended his funeral. Besides his wife, Mr. Culpepper is survived by two sons, Mr. Jesse Culpepper, whose whereabouts are not known and Mr. Robert Culpepper of Columbus, and two daughters; Miss Ophelia and Miss Fannie May Culpepper both of this city.
