Viola West Coon, the daughter of Ann Davidson and A.B. West, was born
near Vandalia, IL March 18, 1854, and died at her home in Farina, May 25,
1935. Upon her marriage, 53 years before her death, she came with
her husband, Mr. Ray G. Coon, to Farina, where the remainder of her life
was spent. She became a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church
of Farina and was, until her
decline in health, a loyal worker. Three boys and a girl were
born to the union. Clarence, Shirley, and the little daughter preceded
the mother in death. Her son Harry and her husband survive.
Funeral services were conducted at the home by her pastor, Rev. C.L. Hill,
and burial was made in
the Farina cemetery.
