Chas. D. Coon was born in Brookfield, N. Y., in 1824, and died in Walworth, Wis., Jan. 24, 1906, aged nearly 82 years.
In boyhood he came with his parents to Allegany Co., N. Y., and soon made profession of faith in christ and united with the West Genesee Church, of which Eld. Henry P. Green was pastor. He first married Cordelia Payne, who lived but a few months after their marriage. In 1849 he married Cynthia N. Crandall of Portville, N. Y. They came to Walworth, Wis., in 1852, and soon united with the church. He held firmly to his faith in God, and in these later years was almost a constant sufferer from neuralgia. Few persons suffer so long and look so patiently for the call to rest from the pain and sorrows of earth. Funeral at the church, Sabbath morning, Jan. 27, and burial in "Cobbblestone Cemetery," where his wife was buried in 1871.
