Lyman Culver , Benjamin L. Culver 's father, was born in Willington, Conn. ; and at the age of seven years he accompanied his parents to Norwich, Vt. His boyhood and youth were passed upon a farm, and his leisure hours were devoted to study. He was practically a self-educated man; and at the age of twenty-two, having fitted himself for the ministry, he became a Methodist preacher. Two years later he espoused the Calvinist Baptist faith, which he earnestly adhered to for the rest of his life; and he preached in Vermont, New Hampshire , and Massachusetts for fifty years. He was one of the most estimable and devout Baptist clergymen of his day, and was sincerely loved by a large number of friends and acquaintances in different parts of New England . The Rev. Lyman Culver died in Harrisville , now Chesham, N.H. , at the age of seventy-nine years. His wife, formerly Fanny Hovey , was a daughter of Edmund Hovey , of Craftsbury, Vt. She became the mother of eleven children, two of whom are now living, namely: Betsey Hovey , who married ZOPHAR WILLARD, of Harrisville, N.H. , and whose only daughter, Addie E. , is the wife of Frank S. Harris , Troy, N.H. ; and Sarepta S. , who married Charles J. Smith , of Chesham, N.H. , and has three children--Herman P. , Flora A. , and Charles M. A daughter named Caroline Arvilla , who died a few weeks ago, in June, 1897 , was the wife of John H. Emmons , of Danbury, N.H. , and had two children--Carrie F. and Retta E. Another daughter, Fannie Bell , is also deceased; and a son Levi died on his plantation at Taylor, Tex. The mother, Mrs. Fanny H. Culver , died at the age of seventy-six years.
