Notes for Elder Stillman COON
First pastor of the Milton, Wisconsin Seventh-day Baptist church, serving from 1840 to 1845.

Elder Stillman COON was their first Pastor, visiting them in the fall of 1840, and returning and settling among them about the 1st of July, 1841. Joseph GOODRICH proposed the purchase of forty acres of land, by the Church, for his first year's salary, with such donation so of provisions, etc., as they could make him. This was accepted, and the land made him a good home, subsequently becoming valuable, being located at Milton Junction, where Elder COON lived and died, a useful and universally respected man.

Elder Stillman Coon was born in Hopkinton, R. I., August, 1796. He inherited the ministerial mantle from his father, Elder Asa Coon. He also traveled on the Sabbatarian highway to the West - from Hopkinton to Berlin, from Berlin to Allegany, from Allegany to Milton - doing much effective duty on all these camping grounds, in organizing churches, and defending the Sabbath. He was our frontiersman in Allegany, and the first pastor in our North-Western Association. He was, in fact, the pioneer evangelist of the denomination, and as such will be remembered by the multitudes whom he has led to Christ and the truth. He died at his home in Milton, the fifteenth of last March, closing in peace a life of remarkable usefulness.
