In 1873 there is a G. W. Coon farm in section 7 of Milton Township straddling Rock River Road and extending northward to Lake Koshkonong. The farm includes the land which became the Rock River Cemetery and is adjacent to the Rock River SDB Church. This might be the homestead settled by George when he came to Milton. [See his daughter Electa's obit.]

1793-1840 The stone is not contemporaneous with his death. The style is much newer.

George S. Coon, formerly of Alfred, Allegany co., N. Y., is no more. He died at his residence in this vicinity (Milton, Rock co., Wisconsin) Nov. 24th, in the 47th year of his age, of the dropsy of the heart. He was a worthy member of the S. D. B. Church, and has left a numerous family to mourn their loss. As a Christian he was highly esteemed by all who knew him. As an industrious mechanic his loss will be sensibly felt by the pioneers of this new settlement.
