The Washington Republican Washington County Friday April 19, 1901 R.M. Coulter Is Dead. Word was received here Monday that R.M. COULTER, of Mahaska, had died last week. Mr. Coulter was a frequent Washington visitor, and seldom missed a Republican convention. It was he who made the nominating speech for A. C. WHEELER when Mr. Wheeler was a candidate for county treasurer four years ago. Last fall Mr. Coulter left the county and state to make his home in Manitoba, in the British possessions, where his brother and other relatives lived. He came back to Mahaska last week on business, contracted a cold, had grip and rheumatism of the heart followed and soon called him hence. He was an old soldier with a good army record. He was never married so has no family except brother to mourn his departure.
