General Notes: Husband - Robert Coulter


He was born in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, and there learned the carpenter's trade. He was a poor boy, but by constant industry succeeded in accumulating property in a few years. He followed his trade for eleven years. After making several very profitable investments in coal land, he bought 202 acres of land in Carroll township, Washington County, where he then resided. Many improvements were made on this farm after he purchased it. He suffered a terrible misfortune in the loss of one limb and injury to the other. His right leg was amputated just below the knee to prevent mortification, and the left leg was broken. It eventually became as useful as before the accident, while an artificial limb took the place of that which was amputated. He was first a Whig, and was a Republican after the organization of that party. In religious faith he was a member of the M. E. Church.

He had twelve children with his second wife; six were still living in 1893.
