Elizabeth Jane Coon died at her old home in Lincklaen, N. Y., July 8, 1889, aged 66 years, 2 months, and 25 days.
Sister Coon was the oldest daughter of Clarke and Betsy Coon, and always shared the burdens and responsibilities of the home, helping to care for her parents till they were taken to the home eternal. At the age of thirteen she made a profession of religion, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Lincklaen, of which she remained a faithful member. The last public privilege she had to testify was at Otselic, at the Quarterly Meeting, nearly four years ago. At this meeting she spoke twice, very earnestly, telling how precious the Savious was to her, and exhorting all to accept him as their Saviour. Through her great suffering she was very patient, and rejoiced in the love of God. She leaves one brother, and a sister who has tenderly cared for her, to mourn their loss.
