 The eldest surviving son of Harry C, Culbreath and
Matilda (Meyrnard) Culbreath, William P., is the olerk of the
circuit court for the county of Hillsborough, to which posi-
tion he was elected by the people two years ago. This is
one of the most important offices in the gift of the people,
and his being chosen to fill it is a sigal mark of the con-
fidence and esteem with which his fellowe-itizens regard
him. He is a prcninent member of the First Baptist Church
of Tampa.
 Though illi4am p. Culbreath was too young to bear any
part in the 7lar Between the States, he has not been entirely
without military honors. After the close of the war, when
the first attempt' to reorganize the militia was made and
Colonel Robert 3, Thomas was appointed brigidier-genoral of
this district, William P. Culbreath ras given a position on
his staff with the rank of captain, at the sane tnme that
Charles Wright and John R. Swingley were appointed majors.
