OUR COULTER CLAN ALBUM is now available!
A white three-ring binder containing 130 pages with over 200 family photos. Included are reprints of photo pages 10 thru 23 from the out-of-print 1970 book OUR COULTER CLAN & Allied Families, by Steven E. Coulter.
Vintage photos of the eleven children of 1855 Iowa pioneers Samuel & Maria Bash Coulter, plus many of their 61 grandchildren and 163 great-grandchildren, etc. Four-page chart listing names and dates of these three generations (pages 100-103), plus a time-line chart of the births of the eleven children and 61 grandchildren (page 115).
Two previously-unpublished photos of Samuel Coulter's mother, Cynthia Rose Coulter (1806-1881) back in Pennsylvania (page 117 & back cover); plus a photo of the cross-stitched alphabet sampler she wrought at the age of 13 in the year 1820.
Photos of our respected elders include Rita Healy Blumatte blowing out her 90th birthday candles recently (page 28); Florence Williams Patrick, 86, and her grandchildren last December; Ella Coulter Diller, who lived past 101 (page 55); and Minnie Meyer Sanders, who died at age 105 in 1988 (page 119).
Samuel Coulter (1825-1916) was a son of James Coulter (1798-1882), son of Richard & Catharine Coulter who arrived in Pennsylvania from County Donegal, Ireland, in 1793, with one infant son Andrew Coulter, who was born on board ship while crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Richard Coulter (1758-1839) was a Presbyterian, of Scotch-Irish descent, who died in Mercer county, Pennsylvania.
Iowa pioneers Samuel & Maria Coulter lived their last years in Conrad, Iowa; and in the back of the book is a two-page, fold-out photo showing them in front of their final home in 1908 on their 60th anniversary (they lived to celebrate their 67th anniversary). A faded photo of the Coulter house is shown on pages 4 & 5, plus a photo of Grandfather Samuel on the Main Street of Conrad, just a few blocks from his residence. More recent photos show some of the Coulter descendants still living in the Conrad area, including Robert & Patty Coulter, their children and grandchildren; Ron & Dorothy Beeghly, their son Kevin and their grandchildren; Richard & Janet Stackhouse, their three sons and two granddaughters.
Group photos show family reunions over the years, plus there are century-old animal photos of some of the family's fine horses (plus Una Dickerson's pet badger!)
Two Coulter brothers, Fred and Arch, married two Kurtz sisters, Verna and Fay; and their descendants will appreciate the vintage photos on page 70.
Recent Specht family research by Steven Coulter takes Louisa Coulter Specht's in-laws back four generations to the mid 1700s in Pennsylvania (pages 73-76). Ten of Louisa's twelve children are pictured, plus some of her many grandchildren.
A special 11-page section in the back presents Samuel Coulter's nephew Norman R. Coulter (1875-1959), a noted California architect who lived through the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
You can easily add more pages, or change the photos in the front cover and back cover clear sleeves to display photos of your own choosing.
The price for this compilation of photos of hundreds of Coulter relatives is $25, plus $4 for shipping, for a total of $29, please.
Thank you,
Steven Coulter

P.S. And before you gather and eat any wild mushrooms in the woods, read the 1877 tragedy of Grandpa Samuel's niece Melvina Coulter on the back cover.
