F. S. COULTER.
F. S. Coulter, manager of the Farmers' Cooperative Lumber Company of Worland, was born in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, November 15, 1870, a son of Captain William A. and Amanda (Langston) Coulter, the former a native of Ohio and the latter of Indiana. They were married in Iowa, to which state they removed with their parents in childhood days, and both are now deceased. F. S. Coulter was educated in the common schools of his native state and also attended Elliott's Business College at Burlington, Iowa. He was reared upon the home farm until thirteen years of age. In 1884 his father removed to Hubbell, Nebraska, and for fifteen years F. S. Coulter called that place home. He there engaged in farming and merchandising but in 1904 he was, attracted by the opportunities of this growing section of the country and made his way to Wyoming, taking up his abode in the old town of Worland. There he engaged in ranching, having a tract of land adjoining the present town site of Worland. He devoted his attention to farming until 1908, at which time he was appointed superintendent of one of the irrigating canals, in which position he served for five years. In 1913 he was made manager of the Farmers Lumber Company, in which important business capacity he has since served. Step by step he has advanced in a business way, making wise use of the opportunities that have come to him, and he is now one of the substantial citizens of Washakie county as the result of his indefatigable effort, close application and keen business discernment. In 1902 Mr. Coulter was married to Miss Maggie Bobenhouse, of Hubbell, Nebraska, and they became the parents of two children, but only one, Lois Evelyn, is now living. Mr. Coulter has always been a stanch advocate of republican principles but not an office seeker. He belongs to Cloud Peak Lodge, No. 27, A. F. & A. M., of Worland, and is a past master of that organization and past patron of Cloud Peak Chapter, 0. E. S. While difficulties and hardships always confront the pioneer there are always opportunities in a new region that may be utilized by a man of energy and determination. To that class belongs Mr. Coulter and since coming to Worland he has worked his way steadily upward, never pausing in the face of difficulties and obstacles if honorable effort would ultimately enable him to attain the goal of his desire.
