"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 31, No 15, p 3, April 8, 1875.
In Utica, Wis, March 16th, 1875, of congestion of the lungs, Mrs. Lucy, wife of Mr. Samuel H. Coon aged 49 years, 7 months, and 17 days. Sister Coon was born in Allegany county, N. Y., July 29th, 1825. She was converted when about seventeen years of age, and baptized by Eld. Cochrane. On removing to Wisconsin, she united with the Albion Church, but for several years previous to her death, she had been a worthy and beloved member of the Christiana Church. She was married to Mr. S. H. Coon Oct. 10th, 1847. For many years she had been a great sufferer from heart disease. During the past winter she was entirely prostrated most of the time, but was to all appearance regaining a good degree of health, when the angel of death entered and summoned her away. The afternoon and evening preceding her death she seemed unusually well. She sat up and read until about nine o'clock, and then retired. In about an hour after retiring, she was taken severely ill, and once realized that she had but a short time to live. At her request the members of the family were called, to whom she gave her dying counsel.
Sister Coon leaves an aged father, a husband, four children, a brother, and two sisters, and a very large circle of more remote relatives, to mourn her loss. Funeral services were held at the church in Christiana, March 20th, conducted by Eld. James E. N. Backus, a pastor of the Albion Church, who preached a discourse from Philippians 1 : 23, "For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better."

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 58, No 38, p 607, Sep. 22, 1902.
In Milton, Wis., Sept. 7, 1902, after along and painful illness, Samuel Hubbard Coon, aged 85 years, 8 months and 23 days.
Mr. Coon was born in Brookfield, N. Y., the son of Samuel Hubbard and Olive Brown Coon. The father was born in Rhode Island, probably in the town of Carolina, and was a descendant of Samuel Hubbard, intimate friend of Roger Williams, and prominent in the history of the first Seventh-day Baptist church in America. His mother was a native of Connecticut. When a young man, Mr. Coon, with his brother, Capt. W. H. H. Coon, came to Wisconsin and settled in the town of Christiana in Dane County. They were charter members of the church in that place, since known as the Utica, Wis., Seventh-day Baptist church. From the beginning to the close of its history, they were its staunch supporters. Captain Coon died four or five years ago, and in June, 1901, the church was formally disbanded, the members taking letters to Albion, Milton Junction and Milton, in which places most of them have resided for several years. At the time the subject of this sketch, together with his wife who survives him, united with the church in Milton. One brother, Lafayette Coon, of Milton Junction, and one sister, Mrs. Janette Miller, of Brookfield, N. Y., are now the sole survivors of a once large family of brothers and sisters. Mr. Coon was twice married and leaves two daughters and one son, children of his first wife, several grandchildren, a large circle of other relatives, and the wife who has shared with him the growing infirmities of advancing age for the past twenty-five years. He died in the peaceful triumphs of redeeming grace. L. A. P.
