David Colgrove died at his home near Albion, Wis., on Feb. 13, 1889.
He was born in DeRuyter, N. Y., Dec. 31, 1804. He even passed beyond the 'fourscore years' allotted to a strong man. Psa. 90: 10. He was first married to Eunice Coon, daughter of Pardon Coon March 8, 1834 and about six or eight years ago to Mrs. Lois Coon, who still survives him. His disease was called pluro-pneumonia and was very painful at times. He was sick about a week. He was a strict Sabbath-keeper and was favorable to religion. His funeral services were held at his residence, and his remains were taken to New Auburn, Minn., for burial, by Dea. G. G. Coon, of that church, who was his son-in-law. The funeral sermon was preached from the words, 'I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh, when no man can work.' W. H. E.
