General Notes: Husband - William Stuart Culbertson

New Albany, Floyd Co, IN

He was born at "Fairview Farm," near the little town of New Market, and a few miles from Harrisburg. He was but ten years of age when his father died. Upon the settlement of the estate, it was found that the security notes, which he had signed for others would leave only a small property for the widow. Young William felt so strongly that he must help his mother, that at the age of fifteen he entered a mercantile establishment at Harrisburg, where he remained until he was twenty-one and then left for what was the "West" in those days\emdash Indiana. He settled in the thriving little town of New Albany, just across the river from Louisville, Kentucky, and there he lived for the rest of his long life. For many years he was a wholesale merchant and a banker, later only a banker. He was much interested in banking in the Northwest, especially in Minneapolis and St. Paul. His ability as a merchant and banker was widely recognized.
William Stuart Culbertson, like all his ancestors, was a Presbyterian. No doubt influenced by the example of his mother, who was much given to hospitality and very charitable, he excelled in both these virtues. Naturally, in most cases, his "right hand knew not what the left hand" gave, but in two instances at least it was impossible to keep the benefactions from public knowledge. These two benefactions were "The Old Ladies Home," and the "Cornelia Memorial Orphans Home." The latter, on completion, Mr. Culbertson turned over to the trustees for a permanent dwelling for the children, who until then had lived in rented quarters. The "Old Ladies Home"' however, was quite another affair; as long as he lived, he maintained it and gave, with the other members of the family, personal supervision. He endowed it generously and at this writing [1923], it is still a flourishing and much needed institution. We would add that the mother of Wm. Stuart Culbertson was a wonderfully intelligent and interesting woman as were also his wives.
