He was baptized into the Mormon Church when about twelve years of age. He crossed the ocean in 1862 on the ship William Tapscott, and was on the water forty two days.

During that fall he spent a month hauling rock for the Salt Lake Temple. In the spring of 1863 he came to Morgan County. He says— "In building the roads, bridges, school houses and public build¬ings everybody had to pitch in, as a labor was all the capital we had. I was in Utah for years before I ever saw a dollar in cash. We were all poor but we got along fairly well." MR. Coolbear married Catherine Clark, Dec.12.1868. She was born in Colchester, England in 1851. She came to Utah in 1864. Her father, Daniel Clark, died in North Platte, while crossing the plains. Mrs. Coolbear was a natural seamstress, she embroidered fine collars when she was seven years old, and at nine years she sewed for a woman who was a tailoress. She stitched the long seams in pants by hand, and received ten cents per day. In 1878 she established a millinery business which she carried on for nearly forty years. 12 She died, in 1922 at the age of seventy two years. At this time (March 1932) Mr. Coolbear is still living.
