"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 144, No 20, p 359, Nov. 11, 1946.

Cordelia, the daughter of Ai and Miranda Van Horn, was born in Welton, Iowa, January 5, 1867, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Gladys Hemminger, of Gypsum, Colo., early Sabbath morning, August 24, 1946 - General Conference Sabbath.

On May 14, 1893, she was married to D. Burdett Coon. To them were born three daughters, two of whom survive her: Mrs. Tacy Brackett of Manhattan, Kan., and Mrs. Gladys Hemminger of Gypsum, Colo. Her youngest daughter, Mrs. Beulah Bevlin, died in 1944.

Mrs. Coon was a sister of Theodore J. and C. Columbus Van Horn, ministers in the Seventh Day Baptist denomination, as was also her husband. She and "D. B.," as he was lovingly called by many friends, were faithful workers among our churches and on mission fields, serving in the later capacity a number of years in Jamaica, B. W. I., as well as on home fields. Her husband died in Boulder, Colo., some years ago, and since that time she has had one of the daughters with her in her own home, or has been with one of them. A good mother and wife, and a faithful Christian has gone to her reward.

As the Boulder church had no pastor, and the pastor of our Denver Church was attending General Conference at Milton, Wis., at the time, the farewell services were conducted in Boulder by a long-time friend and Baptist minister, Rev. Fred. B. Palmer of Boulder, and the body was laid to rest beside that of her husband in the beautiful Green Mountain Cemetery in Boulder.
