Coulter Dunham Huyler Jr. ’34

Coulter Huyler, a former Foreign Service officer who in retirement fulfilled a lifelong dream of buying a working farm, died Sept. 4, 1997, after a long illness. During his retirement he completed hospice training and served as a hospice volunteer for a number of years. At the same time he operated a bed-and-breakfast inn called "Scratchankle" on his farm in Hagerstown in northwestern Maryland.

Coulter, who was known as "Hershey," worked in advertising for J. Walter Thompson from graduation to 1940, when he joined the Army as a private. In 1946, when he left the Army as a major, he joined the Foreign Service in posts in The Hague and Paris, with both NATO and UNESCO, and in Washington, D.C.

Also in 1946 he married Lola Anne Mcfadin, a 1945 graduate of Vassar, who died in 1957. A second marriage, in 1963, ended in divorce. Coulter is survived by a son, Coulter D. III; a daughter, Anne H. Baker (another daughter, Margaret Lee, died in 1960); a brother, John S., and three grandchildren. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
