ALMIRA S. COULTER

  Mrs. Almira S. Coulter, one of Tyrone's most beloved residents, died 
at her home on North Pennsylvania avenue yesterday morning at 12:40 
o'clock.  Mrs. Coulter had been in the best of health up until January 
14, 1918, when she fell and fractured her limb.  She was recovering 
nicely from the injury when complications of diseases set in and she 
gradually declined until called to her reward yesterday morning.
  Mrs. Almira S. Coulter was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel 
Simons, and was born at the old Simons' farm homestead on June 20, 
1840.  She was united in marriage to John S. Coulter, who preceded her 
to the grave October, 1917.
  She is survived by the following children: Samuel M., of Homestead; 
Mrs. E. W. Stine, of Tyrone, and Alvin J. Coulter, of Tyrone; also the 
following grandchildren: Mrs. Clarence Furst, of Norristown; Mrs. 
Charles Goss, of Norristown; John and Alvin, jr., of Tyrone.  Alfred 
Simons, a brother, of Mount Union, is the only surviving member of the 
Simons family.  
  Mrs. Coulter was a life-long member of the Presbyterian church, a 
Godly woman, whose first thought was her church.  She was a member of 
the Woman's Missionary society and of the Home department of the Sunday 
school.  Her devotion to home and church was a thing of beauty.  The 
community mourns in the loss of this woman of sweet, Christian 
character.  She was loved and respected by all.  She set for others the 
kind of an example that counts.  She has gone to her great reward.
  Funeral services will be held at the home on North Pennsylvania 
avenue on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. C. R. 
Scafe, pastor-elect of the First Presbyterian church.  Interment in 
Eastlawn cemetery.  The body may be viewed after 6 o'clock this 
evening.
