Rev. David H. Coulter, D. D., who for thirty years was a resident of Winchester, passed away at his home in Topeka, Kansas, Friday, March 17, 1916. He was born in Coulterville, Illinois, March 15, 1833. He received his early education in his native village school and also in Sparta Academy and graduated from Geneva College in 1857. For some time before and after his graduation he taught in Geneva College. He studied theology in the Reformed Presbyterian Seminary at Allegheny, Pa., and was licenced to preach by the Illinois Presbytery, June 28, 1864. He was ordained pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian congregation at Hopkintown, Iowa April 18, 1867 and resigned this charge, October 14, 1874. He was installed pastor over a congregation at Newark, New Jersey, Dec. 10, 1874, and resigned Oct. 30, 1875, and accepted the chair of Natural Science in Lenox College, Iowa. He was installed pastor of the congregation of Reformed Presbyterians at Winchester, Kansas, August 17, 1877, from which he resigned in 1908, after a pastorate of over thirty years.
In the home-going of Rev. Coulter, this world has lost a man of rare intellectual bradth and depth. His ability to grasp the entirety of a subject or situation was marvelous, and in nothiong was this shown more fully than in the pulpit or on the platform.
During his pastorate at Winchester the Reformed Presbyterian congregation experienced a gradual growth all the while, and the Sabbath School, Ladies Missionary Society and the Young People's Union grew and developed into strong auxiliaries in Christian work. In times of rejoicing he rejoiced, in times of sorrow, which were many, as tender and sympathetic as a little child with his members.
His memory lingers with us, and though he being dead, yet speaketh.
He celebrated his 83rd birthday a few days before his death. He was buried in Mount Hope cemetery, Topeka, Kansas, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Coulter, three sons and two daughters survive him. Though living more than fourscore years it could be said of him as it was of Moses: "His eye was not dim nor his natural force abated."
