bullet  General Notes

~~~~~ below is from Dennis Collver's www.collver.org ~~~~~~~~~~

Orace Gabriel Collver (b. 16 Feb 1854 ) (d. 14 Nov 1939 ) Looking Glass OR. Moved to Eastern Oregon and founded the town of Culver Oregon. Since he was the postmaster, he got to name the town, but to avoid confusion with another town with similar spelling and sound, he changed it to Culver. He built a general store which housed the post office and became the center of the community. in 1911 the railroad came through, but on the opposite side of the valley, so the town relocated to the railroad (See appendix X page X for the map). Orace had the whole house moved to the new location, while the towns people used the lumber from their old homes and buildings to build new ones. The upstairs of his store housed a meeting hall that was used for local events and dances. He raised the daughter of his sister Sarah Collver Church, Ruth Church after Sarah's death. He married Margaret J. Barnett, 16 Oct 1881.
