Oscar La Verne Coon, son of Thomas and Abbie Davis Coon, was born in Brookfield, N. Y., March 6, 1842, and died in Albion, Wis., December 26, 1927, after a lingering illness of several years. He was the youngest son of a large family of children, the last survivor of that family being a brother, Deacon George G. Coon, of Milton, ninety years old.
At an early age he accepted Christ and joined the Brookfield church. When in his teens he came west, spending some time in Utica and attending school at Albion Academy. In 1864 he was united in marriage to Miss Mira M. Coon, and they first made their home in Minnesota, then in Janesville, and later to the old homestead, near Albion, where he became a very active member in both church and Sabbath school.
For nearly thirty-five years he has lived in his present home in Albion, and in 1910 was ordained deacon of the church, where he served faithfully as long as his health would permit. His aged widow has been his constant companion for the past five years and has cared for him lovingly and faithfully. He was a kind husband and father and greatly interested in his church and fellow men.
One son, Kenyon B., passed away March 1, 1921. Surviving are his bereaved widow and his daughters, Mrs. Fred Palmiter and Mrs. Mabel Emerson, both of Albion, and his son Roy Coon of Stoughton.
Farewell services were held from the Albion Seventh Day Baptist church on Wednesday afternoon, December 28, 1927, under the direction of Pastor Hurley, assisted by Rev. E. A. Witter of Walworth. Rev. and Mrs. C. S. Sayre sang three appropriate pieces. The body was laid to rest in the Albion Cemetery. J. H. H.

Myra M. Coon, daughter of Luke and Lois Burdick Coon, was born in Little Genesee, N. Y., June 9, 1845, and died at the home of her daughter in Albion, Wis., April 6, 1929.
At the age of four years she came with her parents to southern Wisconsin, where she has always made her home, with the exception of a short time spent in Minnesota.
Early in life she was baptized and united with the Albion Seventh Day Baptist Church, of which she has always been a faithful member. For years she was an active member of the Ladies' Home Benefit Society, giving of her time and energy for the social welfare of the church and the community. As long as her health permitted she was a faithful attendant of the prayer meetings and other services of the church.
She had an abiding faith in Jesus Christ as her friend and Savior. She was of a bright, cheery, disposition, looking on the brighter side of life and telling how good God had been to her.
In 1864 she was married to Oscar LaVerne Coon, who preceded her in death December 26, 1927. Four children were born to them: Kenyon B., who died in 1921; Mrs. Fred Palmiter of Albion; Mrs. Mabel Emerson of Milton; and Roy Coon of Stoughton.
Besides the three children there are ten grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren left to mourn the loss of a kind, loving mother and grandmother. The Albion Church has lost a faithful member. The community has lost a clean, wholesome citizen.
Farewell services were held from the Albion Seventh Day Baptist church on Tuesday afternoon, April 9, 1929, conducted by her pastor, J. H. Hurley, assisted by Rev. E. A. Witter, and the body was laid to rest beside that of her husband in the Albion Evergreen Cemetery. Especially appropriate music was furnished by Rev. and Mrs. C. S. Sayre. J. H. H.
