Zoroaster Culver was born at Shoreham, Vermont, 2 July, 1794. He was educated at Shoreham Academy, and about 1820 was Deputy Sheriff of Addison County, Vermont. On 27 May, 1824, he married Sarah Hayward, the daughter of Newton Hayward and Hannah Farrand. The Haywards and Farrands were of New Jersey. Hannah Farrand's father, Bethuel Farrand, was in the Revolutionary service as Lieutenant in the Morris County Militia.
Very shortly after their marriage, in 1824, Zoroaster Culver and his wife went to live at Hopkinton, St. Lawrence County, New York, travelling by wagon. He was a farmer and merchant, and prominent in church and town affairs. In 1868, Mr. and Mrs. Culver, accompanied by their daughter, Sarah, removed to Oberlin, Ohio, where their daughter, Amelia (Mrs. Hiram Hulburd), was then residing. Here they passed the remainder of their days in a comfortable home purchased for them by their sons. Zoroaster Culver died at Oberlin 7 July, 1878, his wife having passed on before him 25 July, 1876, at Oberlin. They both lie at rest in Graceland Cemetery, Chicago, where the sons, Howard, Charles, and George, had purchased a family plot. A handsome sarcophagus adorns this plot.
