I have loved Culver since I was 10, we used to come swimming and boating then Dad bought the house… I miss it so much. Thanks for sharing all this history.
We visited your office last week. We were in search of the 1st pioneers of Marshall County rock monument. The young lady at your office was so very helpful. She was going to send me a photo of this rock monument and I haven’t received. Maybe I gave her the wrong information. By the way with her help we found the actual monument as well as received a phone call with regard to the original Voreis homestead location. Thank you so very much for making our trip fanastic.
Thanks very much, Taylor! Glad you made it to the program *and* the website here. Been adding more fire-related photos here, and there are more to come. Thanks to you guys for hosting the event as well. –Jeff
Under the section “Search This Site”-when you put a surname in and the results come up, I am only able to access the first 9 columns/pages of results even though more are listed. I can see the numeral “10” off to the right but I am not able to click on it or tab to the right to access. Please advise as to what I need to do. Thanks for all the publications & newspapers you are posting!
Tammy – the Google Search widget appears to be displaying in a way that clips off the “next page” button; thank you for pointing this out! We will be looking for a solution to this rendering issue immediately.
In the meantime, you can do the same search directly from google.com by typing in “inurl:culverahs.com” before your search terms. Just make sure to leave out the quotation marks and put a space between the search limiter and your search terms. The search will return the same amount of results, but you will be able to navigate through all of them (as opposed to only some).
Sorry about the rendering error in our widget, we’ll get that addressed!

Thanks for the chance to purchase a brick honoring our father. Can his brick be placed close to the bricks for Bill Snyder Family. That was his brother and PAUL T SNYDER his father.
Thank you and I look forward to returning to Culver someday soon to see this lovely display in Heritage Park. KATHY SCUDDER VITEK
The Wesley United Methodist Church Directory that is labeled as circa 1960s is actually circa 1972. My brother, Bob, and I were both displaying our svelte wrestling physiques and whisker-free faces in our family photo, and Bob graduated from high school in the spring on 1973.
Also, the August 22, 1907 paper, page 1, has had the top part cut off, so that part of the paper is missing. It needs to be re-scanned so that the entire front page can be read.
would like to see the 1923 yearbook. Is there any chance you will publish it? My mother was a grad that year. thank you. jack timmons/ Her name was wells.

1972 Cavalcade is unfinished.
My great-grandfather, George Washington Davis (1860-1940) was superintendent of the ice plant. An article on the file was published in the Culver Citizen, on June 14, 1906 (see https://www.newspapers.com/clip/5676072/ice_plant_fire_george_davis/ ).
The April through June 1907 Culver Citizen issues are not here. Instead, the July through August issues are on twice.
Also, the August 22, 1907 paper, page 1, has had the top part cut off, so that part of the paper is missing. It needs to be re-scanned so that the entire front page can be read.
