Of the Pianers of TOsPa

 His regiment was tmediately ordered to Virginia,
reaching there before that state seceded. It participated
in all of the important battles, commenting with that Of
anasans, or Bull Run, as it is alley in the north.
 Harry C. Culbreath served in Virginia two years, and
then, finding the fatigues of marching and the other toils
of war too severe for a man of his age, he returned hne;
but not to withdraw from the service of his country. He
immediately raised a company of heaMv artillery, which was
attached to the Second regiment of that arm and was sta-
tioned on James Island for the defense of Charleston. He
was the captain of his company, and there also served. in its
ranks his two sons, Ira and Pope, the former being the oomp
pany oolor-bearer and the latter a private.
 Captain Harry C. Culbreath and his company participat-
 ed in the battle of Secessianville, where the colonel of the
 regiment was killed and Captain Gulbreath, being the senior
 officer, took command. Ho retained it till the close of the
 war. By virtue of this command he bore during the reminder
 of his long life the title of colonel that he had so fully
 and brilliantly earned.
 Colonel Harry C. Culbreath, with his family, came to
 Florida to take up his residence in December, 1866, but it
 was not his first visit to the state. He was a member of
 the South Carolina regiment that volunteered for service in
 Florida in the Seminole Indian war, enlisting February 11,
 1836.
 SUpon their arrival in Florida the Culbroath family
 settled first at a point near Bayview, on the western shore
 of Old Tampa bay, then in illasbarough, now in Pinellas,
 County. Here they remained about two years, when they re-
 moved across the bay to the eastern shore, where they lived
 till the death of the head of the family, on September 4,
 1885. The old hoMestead is directly west of the city of
 Tampa, just across the peninsula, adjoining on the north the
 subdivision now lakno as "Eanderson Beach."
 A touching incident in the life of 'Colonel Culbreath
 was the devoted friendship that existed between him and Colo-
 nel Walter C. Bartholomew, the colonel of a Massachusetts
 regimnnt, who moved to Florida just after the end of the war.
 They were frequent visitors at each other's homes, spending,
 n oh time together exchanging reminiscences of the strugle-
 in which each had borne such honorable part and had d=m
 such devoted service to the cause that he believed to be U .
 right. After the death of Colonel Culbreath-for he died
