Obit: Elder Stillman Coon was born in Hopkinton, RI, August 1796. He inhertied the ministerial mantle from his father, Elder Asa Coon. He also traveled on the Sabbertatian 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 demonination, 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 15th of last March, closing in peace a life of remarkable usefulness. Minutes of the Fifty-sixth Session (Seventh Day Baptist) 1870
