General Notes: Husband - William Culbertson

---

His father settled in the eastern part of Pennsylvania after his emigration from Scotland.

He was an early river pilot in western Pennsylvania, and owned a large tract of timber land, some five hundred acres, being one of the substantial men of his time. Culbertson Park, near Warren, was named in honor of this family.

There is a unique memorial in Kentucky whose story should have its place in the annals of the Culbertson family, as the following article which accompanied a cut of this odd gravestone explains:
The gravestone shown in the illustration stands in a lonely pine grove near Spring Lake, Kentucky, and is supposed to commemorate a tragedy of many years ago in Ireland. The memorial is hewn out of a single stone slab and is about four feet high. On the front there is carved a small harp and at the bottom appear the letters and date "W. C. --B., 1787," while on the side there is the name of "Cormick O. Devlin."
As the story is told, it was about one hun-dred and thirty years ago that a family of the name of Culbertson, residing in Ireland, and enjoying something of rank and position, were forced to flee suddenly from their home as the result of politics. Owing to the hastiness of their departure, very little of their personal belongings could be taken along. They had gone but a short distance when one of the daughters happened to think of a certain bit of jewelry which she treasured highly, and, unknown to the other members of the family, started back to recover it. A few minutes later her absence was discovered and her lover, a young man named Cormick O. Devlin, who was with the party, immediately went in search of her. He was drawing near her home when he heard cries of distress, and, running inside, found that a number of rough-looking soldiers had attacked her. Bravely he attempted to fight off her assailants, and, in the course of the struggle, the girl managed to make her escape, but Cormick O. Devlin himself was killed. The Culbertson family then came over to this country, and, settling at Spring Lake, erected this unique monument.
[Unfortunately, although this article was included in the Venango County History, the illustration of the monument was not.]
