Prominent Business And Civic Leader, Bank Vice-President and Widely Known 
   Lumberman, Dies After a Brief Illness In Kingsboro. 

  Goldsborough G. Coulbourn, prominent lumberman and banker of Suffolk, 
succumbed to a sudden heart attack at his home in Kingsboro Heights last night 
shortly after 11 o'clock.  Death followed the attack quickly.  Complaining of 
a severe pain in the vicinity of the heart only a few minutes before the end, 
Mr. Coulbourn expired shortly after the arrival of the hastily summoned family 
physician. 

  Returning home from a visit to a local hospital last night where he called 
on a new granddaughter, Mr. Coulbourn was apparently in good health and 
spirits.  Suddenly he complained of a severe pain which grew in intensity 
until he expired.

lumberman, Mr. Coulbourn was engaged in and interested in a variety of 
businesses and civic affairs.  As senior member of the milling and lumber

  In addition to his lumber interests, Mr. Coulbourn was vice-president of the 
American Bank and Trust Company, having held that position since the 
organization of the Institution.  He owned the Coulbourn Dairy on the Hosier 
road, specializing in pure-bred dairy herds.  He owned and operated extensive 
farms in Virginia and North Carolina.  He was especially interested in 
cooperative marketing and the improvement of agriculture, lending aid in a 
number of movements in these directions. 

  In civic affairs, Mr. Coulbourn was a member of the Suffolk School Board, 
was until recently a member of the Rotary Club, a member of the Presbyterian 
Church and a supporter of the Boy Scout movement.

Fenton, of Windsor, Irving, William, Edwin and Uriah, all of Suffolk; a 
daughter, Catherine, of Suffolk; a granddaughter, Eleanor Ann Coulbourn, of 
Suffolk; three brothers, John, of Philadelphia; Oscar, of Waverly, and Edwin, 
of Cape Charles; a sister, Mrs. Mollie Mason, of Baltimore. 

  Funeral arrangements are awaiting the gathering of the family for 
completion.  A son, William, was in Chicago yesterday attending the World's

night and are being continued today.
