Henry J. Coulson reported the following about James Cossitt Coulson and the Coulsons in general:
James C. Coulson publishes a paper, the LaHarper, is Agent in the Real Estate Business; he is an Odd Fellow as well as his brother George who is one of the County Fair Directors. Both are first class general businessmen. I don't know why but those of the Coulson name invariably hold offices of trust both in the United States and England and their honesty is never questioned. They are seldom very rich, from the fact that they live on the fat of the land and enjoy seeing others partaking of their luxurious hospitalities. Many of them would be millionairs, had they lost sight of the fact that, man cannot live always, and that some need assistance. They make excuses to keep from asking their debtors for money and it seems to hurt their feelings to meet a man whom they owe and are unable to pay just at that time; their natural independence being such that they do not wish to feel under obligation to anyone. They do not feel comfortable dressed in very fine clothes while those about them are not finely dressed. I remember grandfather saying that when he was a young man that when his Sunday-boots had been polished so they were glossy, before meeting with any one along the road, he would dust them over to remove the glossy appearance.
