7 Harry Coulson Harry Coulson was one of five children born in Lower Montague to William Coulson of and Isabel Moore of Lower Montague . Following four trips to Western Canada on the harvest excursions, Harry settled in Pinette and he and his wife Annie Cantelo raised five children. Harry was a lifelong horse and cattle trader, a seeker of opportunities. From his youth until his death, he worked to outwit his business associates, tried to "look for the best." Despite his wiles, however, he was a community favourite and he remains the subject of affectionate reminis¬ cences. Iwas out West four trips; Youngstown, Alberta. My Jesus , boys, boys, I was that mean when I was working, you know, I wouldn't shave or nothing. I made a lot of money. Wait till I tell you. I was coming home with two Newfoundland fellas. We was all dressed up, white collars and everything. I started shaking dice with them. Oh Jesus , I was rapping it in; my pockets was full. Wait till I tell you. I was saying to myself, "I'll be a millionaire." You know what all I had when I got in town? Sons of whores cleaned me out. I only had seven or eight dollars. Christ, it sickened me for two years. A hard line boys. I met Dr. Mclntyre 's son in Montreal then. I says, "I'm going to get the Mounties." He says, "You might as well whistle." Boys, oh boys, did it ever sicken me. Harry Coulson 63
