In Albion, Wis., Dec., 11th, 1866, of heart disease, Solomon Head, Esq., aged 74 years. The deceased was born in Dutchess County, N. Y., November, 1792. His father died when he was six years of age, and in his seventeenth year he moved to Alfred, N. Y., where he married Miss Sarah Coon, daughter of Stephen Coon, deceased, in 1815, who survives his death, and with whom he lived more than fifty-one years. In 1820, he made a profession of religion in the ordinance of Christian baptism, administered by the late Eld. Wm. Satterlee, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Alfred. In 1839, he moved to the State of Wisconsin, and settled in Albion, being one of the first settlers in this part of the State. He was one of the number that constituted the Seventh-day Baptist Church of this place, at the time of its organization. Having been a lover of reading, and of a retentive memory, and affable, he was agreeable company to persons of every age, and none spent an hour in his society, but to be instructed and profited. His widow, and six children, all of whom occupy useful positions in society, and a large circle of relatives, together with numerous friends, are comforted with the assurance, that their loss is his great gain.
