From Sharon Gable, C.G, Dec 2015:
" I see you have Clyde Edward/Elmer Curling. He was listed both as Edward and Elmer with Elmer being on his daughter's marriage record. Just as a "wow" type item of interest you might like to know that Clyde was blown up at an explosion at the ammunition depot at St. Julian's Creek. My great aunt says the explosion killed him and a black man and the pieces were so badly damaged that they couldn't tell which pieces belonged to which man. He was civilian employee in charge of the civilian employees handling the powder. The newspaper said that 4 men were killed, but you know how great-aunts can distort a story. His father (Clayton) was the older brother to my great grandmother, Ada, who didn't marry a Culpepper."1,3 |
