In Farina, Ill., March 9th, 1873, of pneumonia, Mrs. Eliza M. Coon, wife of A. Stillman Coon, in the 47th year of her age.
Sister Coon gave her heart to God in early life, and was baptized at Berlin, N. Y., by Eld. W. B. Maxson. Her gentle Christian spirit and living sympathy evinced her abiding union with the Saviour. A husband and four children deeply mourn a faithful wife, a devoted mother, and a wise counselor. The church has lost a beloved and worthy member, and the community a kind and sympathizing neighbor.
Her funeral services were held March 11th, when a large and attentive congregation listened to a sermon by her pastor, from Rev. 14: 13: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." O. U. W.

Near Farina, Ill., March 17, 1885, of a complication of diseases, Asa Stillman Coon.
He was born in Berlin, N. Y., May 8, 1823, and was therefore nearly 62 years of age at the time of his death. He was the son of Dea. Asa Coon of Berlin. The early part of his life was spent in the neighborhood of his nativity until a number of years after he was married.
He was married to Eliza M. Green, Feb. 6, 1847. It seems that he was baptized by Eld. Scott before the date of his marriage, but did not join the church, because he thought that church organizations were not necessary. He moved from Berlin to Adams, where he lived about a dozen years. Since that time he has been a resident of Farina. Having lost his wife, he was married to Lizzie Zinn, Oct. 4, 1874. He has had poor health for many years. We entertain a strong hope that he is "safe in the arms of Jesus."
He was very patient in suffering, and seemed to have no fear of death. He was anxious to go and be at rest. There was a considerable evidence that he looked forward with hope for a joyous hereafter. In arranging for his funeral service, he spoke of that comforting passage in Psa. 23: 4 as a text, and then said, let the pastor make his own selection. How appropriate to the Christian's death is the stanza:
"Jesus can make the dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are.
While on his breast I lay my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there." W. H. E.
