Death*between 1920 and 1930 She died between 1920 and 1930. 
Note*Aug 2015 From Jim Mittica:

Eleanor A. “Ellen” Gresham (02 Aug 1844-aft 1920). Ellen, of Chambers County, Alabama, was first married to my great grandfather, James Lawrence Prather (29 May 1842-15 Dec 1892) on 07 Sep 1865. After surviving the Civil War as a Confederate cavalryman, James Lawrence Prather died in Chambers County, AL after having been bitten by a rabid dog. Ellen survived on a Confederate widow’s pension. The records of her pension stop in 1915. There is a record of an Ellen Prather marrying E. G. Culpepper on 01 Apr 1915 in Opelika, Lee County, Alabama.... I believe this to be my great grandmother. As indicated on your site, U. S. Census records for 1920 show E. G. and Ellen Culpeper residing in an Alms House in Opelika. Both were listed as invalids.

I have been so far unable to locate any records of the deaths of Early Greathouse Culpepper or Ellen Gresham Prather Culpepper. It is apparent they were living in Opelika on 25 Jan 1920 when the census was enumerated but as to any records of them after that date, I am at a loss.1
