In Albion, Wis., May 30th, 1871, of congestion of the lungs, Mrs. Sarah Head, aged 73 years. Sister Head was born in Petersburg, N. Y., Feb. 5th, 1798, and was a daughter of Stephen and Sarah Coon. She embraced religion at the early age of ten years, and united with the Petersburgh Seventh-day Baptist Church. About the year 1812, she removed to Alfred, and in 1814 [1815], she was united by marriage with Solomon Head. In 1816 [1812], she was one of the organic members of the 1st Alfred Church; also, of the 2d Alfred Church in 1831. In the year 1839, she removed to Milton, Wis., where she was also one of the organic members of the Milton Church in 1840. In 1843, she became one of the organizing members of the Albion Church, of which she remained a worthy member until, with unfaltering faith in the Great Head of the Church, she passed from the militant to an exalted membership in the church triumphant. Thus she had for sixty-three years been a Christian on earth, and a pioneer member of four of the largest and most flourishing churches in the Seventh-day Baptist denomination. She was verily a mother in Israel, and a friend and comforter to many a new comer to the western country. Her funeral was attended at the Albion Church, on Fourth-day, May 31st. The pastor of the church was assisted in the services by Eld. D. E. Maxson, of Milton, who preached a discourse from 1 Cor. 15: 31 - "I die daily." J. E. N. B.

In Albion, Wis., Dec., 11th, 1866, of heart disease, Solomon Head, Esq., aged 74 years. The deceased was born in Dutchess County, N. Y., November, 1792. His father died when he was six years of age, and in his seventeenth year he moved to Alfred, N. Y., where he married Miss Sarah Coon, daughter of Stephen Coon, deceased, in 1815, who survives his death, and with whom he lived more than fifty-one years. In 1820, he made a profession of religion in the ordinance of Christian baptism, administered by the late Eld. Wm. Satterlee, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Alfred. In 1839, he moved to the State of Wisconsin, and settled in Albion, being one of the first settlers in this part of the State. He was one of the number that constituted the Seventh-day Baptist Church of this place, at the time of its organization. Having been a lover of reading, and of a retentive memory, and affable, he was agreeable company to persons of every age, and none spent an hour in his society, but to be instructed and profited. His widow, and six children, all of whom occupy useful positions in society, and a large circle of relatives, together with numerous friends, are comforted with the assurance, that their loss is his great gain.
