Lucille Hasell Culp Collection cBeaufort County Library |
As Beaufort's first woman attorney, she specialized in legal, monetary, and "heirs property" matters -- mostly because the other seven lawyers in town (all male) did not. During World War II she helped young men fill out the required selective service paperwork and watched for Axis incursions into the Beaufort River from the Pigeon Point Watchtower.
This image of a World War II watchtower is from our Lucille Hasell Culp Collection hosted by the Lowcountry Digital Library.
