HARRY CULVER

     One of the wide-awake and enterprising business men of Cottage Grove is
Harry Culver, who for fifteen years has been engaged in the meat business, in
which he is meeting with success, having by his courtesy and satisfactory
service, built up a large patronage. A native of England, his birth occurred on
the 12th day of June. 1887, and he is a son of John and Elizabeth Culver. The
family came to this country in 1905, locating in Cottage Grove, where the
parents lived for a time, but are now residents of Portland.
     Harry Culver received a good education in the public schools of his native
land and learned the trade of a meat cutter. On coming to Cottage Grove he
followed that line of work until 1912, when he bought the meat market of D. K.
Gover, which he has conducted to the present time, being alone in the business
until 1923, when he admitted Fred Anderson to a partnership. They carry a large
line of fresh and smoked meats, have a well arranged market, the cleanliness of
which is a prominent feature, and they cater to the tastes and wants of all who
enter their store.
     In 1910 Mr. Culver was united in marriage to Miss Lillie Anderson, of
Cottage Grove, and they are the parents of five children, Lilly, Henry, Roberta,
Viola and Clifford. Mr. Culver gives his political support to the republican
party and has shown a good citizen's interest in everything pertaining to the
welfare and prosperity of his community. In the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, he has taken the degrees of lodge and encampment and of the Daughters
of Rebekah. He is also a member of the Woodmen of the World and belongs to the
Chamber of Commerce. In all relations of life he has been true to every
obligation and duty and his record since becoming a resident of Cottage Grove
has gained for him a high place in the estimation of those with whom he has come
in contact.
