  In Memphis, Tenn., July 1st, 1864, of typhoid fever, Kenyon B. Coon, son of Luke and Lois Coon, of Albion, Wis., aged 29 years, 2 months, and 26 days.   Bro. Coon professed religion when about 11 years of age, and united with the 2d Seventh-day Baptist Church of Genesee, N. Y.   Subsequently, moving to Albion, Wis., he united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church in that place, of which he remained a worthy member until his death.
  Although he was far from home, his body was embalmed under the superintendence of his brother in the army, and brought home on the 3d of August, and his funeral services were attended by a large audience on the 7th.   By this Providence, an affectionate and confiding wife, fond parents, loving brothers and sisters, and a large circle of relatives and friends, have been unexpectedly and greatly afflicted; in the midst of which they are comforted with the assurance that their great loss is greater gain to the departed.     J. C.

In Farina, Ill., Dec. 7, 1885, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Brown, the daughter of Daniel G. and Asenath Smith. She was born in Berlin, N. Y., Sept., 6, 1839. When she was about seventeen years old, she obtained a hope in Christ as her Saviour, and was baptized and joined the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Berlin. Rev. L. C. Rogers was the pastor of the church at that time, who baptized her. Later in life, she moved to Albion, Wis., and joined the church there. She was married to Mr. K. B. Coon, who went into the army and died at Memphis, Tenn., in 1864. About twelve years ago she was married to Mr. Alonzo G. Brown, of Farina. About ten years ago, she joined the church here, of which she has been an honored member till the day of her death. She was active in Christian work while she had her health, but about five years ago, that “fell destroyer” of the physical frame, consumption, laid hold upon her, and she has been confined to her home since that, most of the time. She said she was ready to go or willing to stay, as the Master should direct. Hers was an exceptionally consistent Christian life. May God grant that her mantle may fall on someone in our midst who may become valiant in the service of the Lord. W. H. E.
