7uly l, 1891. His father was farmer and

July l, 1921. His father was a farmer and
his educational advantages we're but lin
tied. When Is years cid he went to Phil :
adelphia 10 pursuit of that fortune which
all boys confidently expect, and became
assistant porter in wholesale dry goods
house. Soon afterward the firm sent him
to the far west aud southwest, and kept
him there until he became of age, when
he went into business for himself. He
settled in Burlington, Iowa, 10 1842, and
for eight years was merchant in that city.
In 1850 he retired from the mercantile
business and became banker, helping to
organize the banking house of Coolbaugh
& Brooks He also became a politician,
and was appointed loan agent by the First
general assembly of Iowa, and caused the
issue of its first bonds. He was demo-
crat of the Douglas school, was a personal
friend of the senator, and at the Baltimore
convention, in 1852, voted for Stephen A.
Douglas fortY-nine times. He was for
eight years a member of the Iowa state
senate, and came very near being sent to
the senate of the United States. In 1856
he was member of the democratic ma
tional convention at Cincinnati, and voted
for Buchanan and Breckenridge, an act
which he considered one of the gravest
mistakes of his lie. When the rebellion
broke out, like SO many other democrats,
he at once gave Mr. Lincoln and the gov
ernment hearty support In the spring of
1862 he removed 10 Chicago and estab-
lishcd the banking house OF Coolbaugh IL
Co La February, 1865, this banking
house became the Union National Bank of
Chicago, with him as its president. When
the Chicago Clearing House was organized,
he was chosen president of that also, and
likewise OF the National Bankers Associa
tion tor the west and northwest. During
his residence in Chicago he was regarded
as one Of the leading democrats of the
west, He served in the constitutional
convention of 1870, and was valuable
member of that body. He was presi.
dental elector on the democratic ticket
last year, and it is understood that had
Mr.. Tilden been elected, he would have
been invited to a seat in the cabinet.
He had been twice married In the
year 1874 he married daughter OF Judge
Brown, of Kentucky, and 10 1864 he mar-
ried the daughter of G. T. Y. Reeve, of
Newbureh, N. Y.
Personally, Mr. Coolbaugh was large-
hearted, genial gentleman, respected by
the entire community and loved by those
who had the pleasure of an intimate ac
quaintance with him.
MIR. Coolbaugh leaves six childrea
