Read More	George H. Coulthard, M. D. The city of Idaho Falls, judicial center of Bonneville county, has been the center of the able and successful endeavors of Dr. Coulthard in the practice of his profession since the summer of 1904, and while he can by no means be designated a pioneer of this favored section of the state it is conceded that during his period of residence in Bonneville county no citizen has manifested more insistent civic loyalty and appreciation and that none has been more zealous and enthusiastic in sup- porting measures and enterprises projected for the general good of the community. He has high ideals and progressive policies of every kind find in him a sturdy advocate. He has identified himself closely with the interests of Idaho Falls, and as one of its representative citizens and as one of the leading physicians and surgeons of this part of the state he is eminently entitled to specific recognition in this publication. He has won the unqualified confidence and high regard of the people of his home county and besides serving in local positions of public trust he was formerly a valued and zealous member of the Idaho state board of health. Dr. Coulthard was born on a farm near Missouri Valley, Harrison county, Iowa, on the 9th of March, 1878. and is a son of William and Jane (Eddee) Coulthard, who were numbered among the early settlers of that section of the Hawkeye state and became prominently identified with its pioneer development and up building. The father secured a tract of government land in Harrison county, and re- claimed the same into a valuable and productive farm. Indefatigable industry and careful management brought to him a due reward, and he was able not only to provide well for his family but also to achieve distinctive independence and prosperity. He still resides on the old homestead farm and the same has been his place of abode for fully 42 years. His cherished and devoted wife remains by his side, and after years of earnest toil and endeavor they find that their "lines are cast in pleasant places," their lives being now marked by "smiling plenty and fair, prosperous days." William Coulthard was born at Glencoe, province of Ontario, Canada, in the year 1844, and thus is nearing the psalmist's allotted span of three-score years and ten, as is also his wife, who is about two years his junior, in excellent health, with a pleasant home, and surrounded by friends who are tried and true, they are passing the gracious evening of their lives in peace and prosperity, secure in the high regard of all who know them and con- tent with the benignant aftermath which is theirs after having borne to the full the heat and burden of the day. Of their nine children five are now living, namely ; Mrs. Anna Downey, of Logan, Iowa; Mrs. Inez Herman, of Clarkston, Nebraska; Mrs. Ella Doty, of Missouri Valley, Iowa; David Lloyd ; and Dr. George H.. whose name initiates this review. The parents are devout members of the Presbyterian church and the father is a stanch Republican in his political adherence. Dr. George H. Coulthard, who was the third in order of birth of the nine children, gained his early experiences in connection with the work and management of the home farm, and after availing himself of the advantages of the public schools of his native county he completed the curriculum of the Woodbine Normal School, at Woodbine, Harrison county, in which institution he was graduated in 1900. He had in the meanwhile formulated definite plans for his future life-work, and in harmony therewith he was matriculated in the medical department of the University of Iowa, at Iowa City, in which he completed the prescribed course and was graduated as a member of the class of 1904, his degree of doctor of medicine having been conferred upon him on the 14th of June of that year. In 1904 of the same year the ambitious and well fortified young disciple of Aesculapius came to Idaho and established his residence at Idaho Falls, and here his professional novitiate was of brief duration, for he soon proved his ability and gained such popular confidence that his practice grew apace, to become, as it is today, one of the most extensive and substantial controlled by any physician in this section of the state. In 1907 Dr. Coulthard was elected a member of the city council, and his splendid majority at the polls again attested his unequivocal popularity. There are no half-way measures possible with him, and thus he was not in the least perfunctory in the dis- charge of his duties as a representative of the municipal government. He was zealous in furthering measures and enterprises for the general good of the city and its people and was indefatigable in urging a policy of definite municipal progressiveness, witti wise economy in the expenditure of city revenues. During the administration of Governor Brady he served as a member of the state board of health, and of this body likewise he proved a most earnest and valued member. He was one of the organizers of the Idaho Falls Club of Commerce, and has the distinction of being chosen its first president. This representative body has done much to promote high civic ideals and to further the material progress and advancement of Idaho Falls and its tributary territory. The Doctor was secretary of this club, as well as a member of its directorate. In national affairs he is stanch in his allegiance to the Re- publican party, but in local matters he gives his sup- port to men and measures meeting the approval of his judgment, without reference to strict partisan lines. Dr. Coulthard has been an earnest and appreciative student of the history and teachings of the time-honored Masonic fraternity and is one of its prominent representatives in Idaho. He has completed the circle of both the York and Scottish Rites, in the latter of which he has received the thirty- second degree, his affiliation being with the Idaho Sovereign Consistory, at Boise, the capital of the state. He has passed various official chairs in the different Masonic bodies, being past master of Eagle Lodge, Free & Accepted Masons, of Idaho Falls, and being senior deacon in the Grand Lodge. The Doctor also holds membership in the local lodge of the Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks and has served as its exalted ruler. Enjoying thoroughly the whole- some diversion of hunting and fishing. Dr. Coulthard does not deny himself periodical relaxation in these lines, and he is at the present time president of the Idaho Falls Gun Club. He is also a member of the American Medical Association and Idaho State Medical Association. Dr. Coulthard still marches sturdily along in the ranks of tlie eligible bachelors of Idaho, and it may well be said that this fact in no wise militates against his personal popularity in social circles. He has gained large and worthy success in his chosen profession and subordinates all else to its exacting demands. He is well known in the state of his adoption, and his circle of friends coincides with that of his acquaintances. His faith in the great future of Idaho is unbounded, and he is the owner of a fine ranch of 950 acres, in Bonneville county, to, which he gives a general supervision and upon which he is making the best of improvements, besides which he is the owner of valuable real estate in his home city. A loyal, popular and progressive citizen, he has done well his part in furthering the best interests of his home city and county, and it is a matter of consistency to accord to him definite representation in this publication.
