"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 44, No 12, p 8, Mar. 22, 1888.
Joseph S. Coon was born in Petersburg, N. Y., July 3, 1816, and died in Adams, N. Y., March 12, 1888. Six days before his death he was stricken with paralysis, while in apparent health, and while retaining his mental faculties, though unable to speak clearly, he gradually failed till the last.
In 1854 he was married to Sarah D, Armsbury, who survived him. Since about the time of his marriage he has been a resident of Adams. A quiet, unassuming man, he was highly esteemed as a citizen and a neighbor in the community where he lived.
In youth he made a profession of religion, and through life showed much regard for the cause of Christ, though he never became a member of the visible church. During his last illness he appeared to enjoy greatly the service of prayer, and expressed full faith in Christ as his Saviour.
Besides his bereaved companion, with whom he lived happily for so many years, he leaves two brothers, viz., Hezekiah Coon of Berlin, and Aaron Coon, of Alfred.
