At Walworth, Wis., June 9th, 1886, of cerebro-spinal meningitis, Mrs. Lucy M. Coon, wife of Marshall Coon, in the 27th year of her age. She was the daughter of Dennis and Rebecca W. Campbell, born at Edgerton, Wis., Nov. 19, 1859. At six years of age, her parents moved to Walworth, where she lived until her death. At the age of eleven, in company with a sister and two brothers, she was baptized by Eld. James Bailey, and united with the Walworth Church, of which she was a faithful and greatly esteemed member at her death.
A year ago, while in attendance at the Milton College Commencement and at the association, she was taken ill and returned to her home, where she was very sick for many weeks. She never fully recovered her health from that illness. She was stricken again by a fearful malady, and after ten days of intense suffering, during which she prayed many times to be taken home, she passed into a semi unconscious state from which she never rallied. Death came to her a great release.
While I was her pastor at Walworth, I learned to esteem her for her mental gifts, lovely qualities and noble Christian character. She was intelligent and versatile in conversation, frank and open-hearted, graceful and winning in her manners, and of an even and cheerful disposition. Her highest pleasure was to make those about her cheerful and happy. She was gifted with the power of sweet song. Her sweet and well-trained voice, as she sang in the choir Sabbath mornings, and also in her home, still linger in my memory. She has joined the choir of heaven where she can praise him whom she loved in heavenly strains and harmony.
Sister Coon was spiritually minded, took a deep interest in the people of her faith, loved her Bible and was prayerful. She delighted in the fellowship and communion of Christians and especially of her own household of faith. She was catholic in spirit, broad-minded in her religious thought, and ever rejoiced in the prosperity of Zion. It was my pleasant privilege to unite her in holy wedlock to the husband who is so deeply bereaved by her death, and weighed down by his great sorrow. Her sweet Christian influence over him led him to seek and find the Saviour she so dearly loved. In a letter to her sister about it, she wrote, "I am so happy my hear bows in prayer and thanksgiving to him whose spirit has sent me this unspeakable joy."
A devoted wife, a loving daughter, a beloved sister, and esteemed neighbor and friend has passed through the gates into the glory-land, never more to pass out. May her infinite gain console the great loss felt by dear ones, and lead them to consecrated Christian lives and a blessed reunion in the "sweet bye and bye." Besides the stricken husband, a mother, three sisters, five brothers and a large number of relatives and friends are bereaved by her early death.
Her funeral services were conducted by Eld. S. H. Babcock, of Albion, Wis., from Job 14: 14, and John 11: 25. Her brothers laid away in Walworth Cemetery her body. It was a lovely day, full of the sweet perfume of flowers, shrubs and trees, a type of the beauty and glory of eternal day of heavenly life and joy. O. U. W.
