  Correctionville News
  Another aged resident of this community has answered the last summons, leaving another vacancy in the pioneer ranks. He lived to see the development of this section and knew well the hardships and privations endured by the earlier pioneers. Reese Coon, son of James and Nina Coon, was born April 14, 1861, at Spring Green, Wisconsin, and passed away after a lingering illness of two years on July 29, 1946, at a nursing home in Sioux City at the age of 85 years. When a boy of fourteen he moved with his parents to a farm near Correctionville, and spent the remainder of his life in this vicinity. The family came in a covered wagon to the middlewest when it was little more than a wild rolling prairie. During the many months of his sickness he was a very patient sufferer and was never heard to complain or speak unkindly to anyone, but was always thankful for every little kindness shown him. Mr. Coon never married. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. John Kenyon of Correctionville and Mrs. Thomas Clark of Cherokee, also a number of nieces and nephews, and other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death a number of years ago by his parents, five sisters and one brother. Funeral services were held at the Wilson-Hull Funeral Home at 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, July 31. The services were conducted by Rev. Coad Batho of Holstein. Mrs. Ed Robinson sang "Rock of Ages" and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" with Mrs. Thelma Frost at the piano. Mrs. Wayne Camarigg, Mrs. Glen Camarigg and Mrs. Alex Thompson had charge of flowers. The pallbearers were Orville Bentley, Albert Kraft, Bob Rowse, Andy Trimble, Roy Stines and Charles Casey. Burial was made in the Correctionville Cemetery.
