The family moved from Niagara Falls to Welland in the spring of 1884 when Coulson's father John accepted a position as governor of the Welland County Jail at the Welland Courthouse. The family lived in the governor of jail's residence - a brick home located on the Courthouse grounds. Charles graduated from the University of Toronto in 1905 as a mining/civil engineer. Upon his father's death in 1914, Charles took over the Welland climate station duties. He married around 1915, just before going overseas for World War I by August 1915. He returned to Welland from overseas duty in the summer of 1919, and as Welland city engineer resumed climate observations in July 1919 from his new residence at 53 Maple Ave. He would continue this responsibility until his death in January 1957 at the age of 76. Coulson retired as Welland city engineer in 1953 at the age of 72, but stayed on as an engineering consultant for the city until his death. bio information on Charles Coulson obtained from personal discussion with his daughter, Mary Lou Peart -- 2012
