Herein lies a typical, subtle story of human drama and endeavor that helped shape our nation!" Excerpt from A Tribute to Courage written by the late Joe Kubicek of Austin, Tx. in tribute to his great grandparents, Frank and Mary Ann Culp. INTRODUCTION My father, S. "Howard" Culp (1925-1995) became involved in genealogical research in the early 1970's when asked to contribute information on his father's "Outlaw" family connection. The Outlaw family information was being supplemented at the time (1972) by Mr. Albert Henry Outlaw of Greensboro, NC. The original work being entitled Outlaw Genealogy This sparked a life-long interest in genealogical research and Dad spent the next five years pursuing what he called the "European Connection". The information you will see on this page is a result of his tireless research and the research of countless others who have spent many hours at this tedious endeavor and been kind enough to share it with me. I dedicate this page to my father and to all of you...

Extractions: Adherents.com presents: Similar to many of the original thirteen colonies, Vermont's early colonial religious scene was dominated by Congregationalists . Sixty-three percent of affiliated church members in Vermont were Congregationalists in 1776, but at that time, as was common in frontier societies, most people were not church members (in Vermont an estimated 9% of people were). Today Congregationalists (as the United Church of Christ) are third largest religious body in the state. Over 4% of the population are claimed by the UCC as members, and the same percentage name Congregationalism or the UCC as their religious preference. Even today, the Congregationalists have more churches than any other denomination (religious body) in the state. The largest single religious body in Vermont today is the Catholic Church. In 1990 the Catholic Church reported that 25% of Vermont residents were members, but the Kosmin self-identification survey indicated that over 35% consider themselves Catholic. The 10% difference indicates a significant number of state residents who are nominal Catholics not affiliated with a parish.

Canning in Cans and the Tomato Comes of Age From the Commode to the Privy to Indoors! Grocery Shopping The Telephone The Automobile ... The Circus I have often held that, beyond a shadow a doubt, the indoor toilet is the greatest invention ever invented by man. (Followed closely, no doubt, by the invention of toilet paper! Can you really imagine life without toilet paper!) I am only personally familiar with the small, 3'x3' one-holer of my grandfather, but I do remember being in awe while inside a neighbor's 3-holer once. But, of course, one only heard about the grand and glorious, roomy, bricked, 5-holers, with a STOVE no less! And in the mountains, of course, two story privy's. This was so the folks would have a privy when the snow got too high and blocked the door on the lower level! I vividly remember running as fast as I could in the middle of the night so the "boogie" man wouldn't get me. In order for the toilet to come indoors, three things had to happen: 1) a means devised to bring water into the home, i.e., water supply and indoor plumbing 2) the device itself, and 3) a means of disposal.
Extractions: One of Early America's Successful Sabbath Keeping Communes Print This Article The main Sabbatarian Christian denominations-the Seventh Day Baptists, Seventh-day Adventists, and the Church of God (Seventh Day)-have their spiritual roots in the English Puritan movement of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Seventh Day Baptist denomination was started by Puritan Separatists who left England for the freedom of worship that was available in seventeenth-century Rhode Island [ ], while the nineteenth-century founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Church of God (Seventh Day) were Millerites-followers of a Baptist preacher named William Miller who had predicted, based on his interpretation of Daniel 8, that Christ would return in 1844. Many of the Millerites were descended from New England Separatists, including some Seventh Day Baptists, and they inherited much of their basic belief system from their Puritan forebears [ Puritanism, with its emphasis on holy living grounded in obedience to the biblical commandments of God, has made a lasting imprint on American religion and culture. Puritan writings and lifestyle also influenced the leaders of the Pietist movement, a roughly analogous wave of reform that swept through Dutch, Swiss, and German Protestantism in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Pietists believed that their churches should move beyond disputes about correct doctrine and do more to bring about significant changes in the lives of believers. They stressed the need for ministers to set exemplary examples and give practical sermons, so that individual Christians would be truly 'born again' and lead lives of devotion to God and service to others. One Pietist innovation, the establishment of small group Bible study and prayer gatherings, is still recognized today as a very effective way to enhance church life.

Extractions: The emigration of another German, Christoph Saur to Lancaster County Pennsylvania in 1724 may also be said to be a landmark date in early German emigration to America. In 1743, this emigrant from the village of Laasphe, near Schwarzenau, is credited with having printed the first German-language bible in America. The Wittgenstein district is said to be the place where the Church of the Schwarzenau Brethren originated. Today, many religious groups in America are able to trace their heritage back to the 17th century German Anabaptists and Pietist from this area. Among the names of emigrants from North Rhine-Westphalia that have retained prominence in American History is, of course, Carl Schurz. He was born in the tenant-house quarters of Gracht Castle in Liblar, near Bonn. In 1849, Schurz fought in the May uprising in Baden. He later escaped to Switzerland and, via Rostock and England, sailed to America in 1852. He was the first German-born immigrant, who succeeded in rising to attain a career as a national politician, first, as a political advisor to Abraham Lincoln, later, as a Missouri State Senator and, finally, from 1877 to 1881, as the Secretary of the Interior. The open air museum in the town of Kommern recently presented an exhibit on emigration from North Rhine-Westphalia to America.
