Elder Stillman Coon was born in Hopkinton, R. I., August, 1796. He inherited the ministerial mantle from his father, Elder Asa Coon. He also traveled on the Sabbatarian highway to the West - from Hopkinton to Berlin, from Berlin to Allegany, from Allegany to Milton - doing much effective duty on all these camping grounds, in organizing churches, and defending the Sabbath. He was our frontiersman in Allegany, and the first pastor in our North-Western Association. He was, in fact, the pioneer evangelist of the denomination, and as such will be remembered by the multitudes whom he has led to Christ and the truth. He died at his home in Milton, the fifteenth of last March, closing in peace a life of remarkable usefulness.
