Thursday, December 31, 1868 – “…Mr. James A. Coulter of Bovina to Miss Mary Rottermond of Andes…”

This has been a very fine day. This is the last day of the old year. 1868. I was doing chores to day. John Forrest was up here to day. He took Ann to Jims wedding tonight. Frank was over to Jims wedding to night. Joe Forrest had Lill to Jims wedding.

At the house of the Brides Father, by Rev. Mr. W. S. Winans, Mr. James A. Coulter of Bovina to Miss Mary Rottermond of Andes, Del Co, N.Y. 1868*

James Coulter (1833-1882) was the brother of Walter Coulter. Mary Rotermund was the daughter of Herman and Lillian Rotermund. Their marriage did not last all that long. James died in August 1882. Mary survived her husband by almost 50 years, dying in 1931. James and Mary were the grandparents of Don, Bob and Norrie Boggs, Ruth Coulter Parsons and Celia Coulter, among others.
