General Notes: Husband - Maj. John Colhoun Culbertson

Iowa City, Johnson Co, IA; Springfield, Greene Co, MO - a banker

He was educated at the Ohio University, at Athens, standing at the head of the noted class of '43. He was a man of brilliant intellect. He went from Zanesville to Iowa City before the war and engaged in banking. His bank failed in '57, because of "wild-cat" currency in Illinois. On leaving college he studied law with Hon. Judge Thomson of Chambersburg, whose daughter he married. She was a sister of First Vice-President Thomson, of Penna. R. R. and Dr. Thomson, the noted Philadelphia oculist. At breaking out of the Civil war, he served State of Iowa as paymaster of Troops, and Nov. 26, 1862, was appointed by the President, Major and Paymaster, U. S. Army. Resigned Aug. 8, 1863, because of disability incurred in line of duty. Organized the First National Bank, of Springfield, Missouri, in 1867, and became its cashier, and retained this position until his death, which occurred in 1872, as a result of disease contracted during his army service.
