Clifford B. Coons, son of John M. and Amanda Coons, was born May 29, 1892
and died September 28, 1921, age 29 years, 3 months, and 29 days.

He was the youngest of a family of thirteen children--seven boys and six
girls, of whom two, one brother and one sister have preceded him in death.

He was united in marriage with Ladonna Clark on August 28, 1920.

In June 1916 he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a member of Company B, 4th
Illinois Regiment Illinois National Guard and served eight months on the
Mexican border, and received an honorable discharge, but was discharged for
physical disability, and often expressed sincere regret that he was
physically unable to be permitted to participate in the great world war for
humanity.

The sun of his life has gone down when he had just crossed the threshold of
life and while there still lingered upon his brow the ambition of youth and
his heart hope for health, happiness, and success.

We part with our son, brother, and husband with deep sorrow but with sincere
trust that God's way is best.

He leaves his young wife, father, five brothers and five sisters, besides
many other relatives and friends.

Funeral Services were held at the home of Shelt Davis on Saturday at 10:00
a.m.  Rev. C. E. Pettit and the American Legion officiated.  Interment was
in the Marshall cemetery.
