August 8th, Mrs. Betsey Coon, consort of Aaron Coon, of Petersburg, Rensselaer Co., N. Y. Sister Coon was, we trust, in life and death, a Christian. Among us she was a steady light - a light which only ceased to shine here, when the lamp of life expired, to appear with a more effulgent brightness in that promised rest where sickness and old age are unknown. She had been many years in feeble health, and for the last few years she has been entirely deprived of the privilege of assembling with the disciples of her Master in the sanctuary. In her death the church and the cause of truth have lost a friend. She endured her sickness with fortitude and patience, until, in her 69th year, she fell asleep in Christ. Sister Coon was a native of Westerly, R. I., and in early life settled in this country, and joined the Church at Berlin. Afterward, when the Church at Petersburg was organized, she removed her membership to that Church, from which she is now removed in hope of a membership in the church in heaven. May we meet her there. J. S.
