 Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.): June 15, 1864
Died of typhoid fever, May 2d, in Clarksville, Iowa, Prof. J. M. Coulter,. of the
Clarksville Institute, son of J. P. and H. Coulter, of Fredericktown, Ohio, in the
25th year of his age. The deceased was the son of Christian parents, a child of the
covenant, and the subject of many prayers. He grew up under the influences of
religion. He entered Jefferson College in the Spring of 1854, and pursued his
education mainly at that institution. Early in the year 1857 he became the subject
of renewing grace, and united with the Presbyterian church of Fredericktown, Ohio.
It was the desire of his parents that their son should enter the ministry, but
constitutional diffidence led him to choose another employment. After leaving
College he engaged in teaching, first in the institution at Haysville, and afterward
at Martinsburg, Ohio. In the Fall of 1863 he became a Professor in the Clarksville
Institute, whence he was called to cease earthly duties and engage in the activities
of heaven. His disease soon affected his mind so much that he gave but little
expression of his thoughts of death; but at a moment of calmness he was told that he
must die, when he expressed the trust that he was prepared.
