At the residence of her son, Sebeus B. Coon, in Little Genesee, N. Y., Oct. 3, 1887, Mrs. Polly Stillman Coon, in the 86th year of her age. In early life she professed faith in Christ, and united with the church at Lincklaen, N. Y., maintaining a consistent Christian character through her life. In 1822 she was married to Avery Coon, with whom, about 1834, she moved to what was then the 'West,' settling first in the vicinity known as Horse Run, Pa., afterwards living a little time in Friendship, N. Y., finally locating permanently at Little Genesee, being among the first settlers in this place. For several years past her health has been such that she could not enjoy church or social privileges. She will be much missed by her family and friends.
