- In Edgerton, Wis., June 1888, Mary
E., wife of Daniel COON, aged 53 years.
- During the past few years she has been
a great sufferer from a cancer, which finally caused her death.
In her religious life she has maintained a firm Christian character.
During all her sufferings she has been very cheerful, and her
life became a practical illustration of the power of the grace
of God to bear one through the valley and shadow of death, even
to the very end. A little less than a year since she became
convinced that sprinkling was not baptism, and was immersed by
the writer, after which she united with the Seventh day Baptist
Church at Albion. She made her preparations to depart with
great calmness, and finally when it was clear to her mind that
her time was at hand, she left her expressions of thankfulness
to her friends for their kindness with a request that they should
meet her in heaven. Funeral services were held in the Baptist
church at Edgerton, Sabbath day, June 9th. "Precious in
the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."
