in the state during the week taking a
survey of the new crop.
E. G. Hopkins and E. M. Kubbell
drove over the tobacco sections of Craw-
ford and Vernon counties during the
week.
A brick three story tobacco warehouse
will be erected by stock company at
Readstown in the Kickapoo valley this
season at cost of 81. 800.
Messrs. w. E. & P. E. Leverson, tobac-
co dealers of London, England, who
have been in the state for a few weeks
left for the south on Friday last. They
bought several lots suitable for their
market while here, being shown about
by Chris. Olson of Stoughton.
M. Ell. Soverhill, who has raised tobac-
CO since 1858, says he has the finest IL
acres crop he has ever grown on his Full
ton farm, that is now being harvested.
Others coincide with Mr.. Soverhill in
the opinion that it is the finest field in
the township. The crop was fed liberal

The Madison Democrat saws it is an
nounced on good authority that before
snow flies another mammoth warehouse
will loom up on the east side of the city,
somewhere in the vicinity of the other
large structures of that section. The
firm of A. Cohn & Co., large tobacco
dealers, and the richest tobacco firm in
New York city, expects to build ware
house that will hold 5000 cases. This is
only little smaller than the big Suffer
building. The firm is represented here
by IL. G. Klinefelter, who is it's general
agent, and has bought extensively for it
many years, both in Deerfield and
Stoughton. Mr.. Klinefelter says that he
has several sites in view and that one of
the members of the firm will be in Mad
ison in few days to determine it's loca-

Obituary.
MRS. w. H. H. COON.

MRS. w. H. H. COON.
The funeral of Mrs w. Fl. Ell. Coon,
whose death occurred at Nortonville
Kan, Aug. IA, took place from the S. D.
B. church at Milton on Saturday morn
ing, missing of railway connections in
Chicago necessitating a postponement
of the burial services from Friday as an
nounced.
Harmina Cheesebro Burdick was born
in Brookfield, Madison Co., n. Y, Sept.
ID, 1926. Here parents were Benz. and
Ann Cheesbro Burdick, defendants
from original Puritan stock who settled
near Norwich, Conn. Her early educa-
ton was secured in the public schools at
home and the DeRuyter Institute. She
was united in marriage to w. III. FL.
Coon July 6, 1916, and Immediately
started for the then territory of Wiscon-
sin, where her husband had previously
located homestead. At that time there
were no railroads in operation and their
journey lay by way of the Erie Canal
packet to Buffalo, thence by the Great
Lakes to Milwaukee and a wagon trip
overland to the prairie homestead at
Utica, Dane county, which for more
than half a century, she and her con-
genial companion made their home and
reared family content with the pleas
ant surroundings of farm life.
Here little over four years ago they
were permitted to celebrate their golden
wedding, an event they looked forward
to with great deal of satisfaction and
pleasure. Their companionship was
broken by the death of Mr.. Coon in May
1898, loss she has since deeply felt and
deplored. Afew weeks since she went to
NOrtonville, Kan, on a visit to her
daughter, and while there was taken
seriously ill and later submitted to a
surgical operation from which she never
recovered. She was woman unusually
bright intellectually who always kept
abreast of the times and the news of the
| day. Her home life was a model of
those things that go to make up happy
and contented family circle. No one
knows her sterling worth or will longer
revere her memory than the writer of
these lines. Four children and thirteen
grandchildren survive her, three sons,
Frederick W., Dayton B., and James H.,
! the latter two residing on the old home
stead at Utica, and one daughter, Mrs.
A. B. Stillman, of Nortonville, Kan.
The funeral sermon at the S. D. B.
church at Milton was preached by Rev.
Geo. w. Burdick, for a long time pastor
| of the church at Utica, of which the de-
deased was member during her life A
| fitting tribute to the many virtues of the
deceased was also made by Rev. w. G.
Whitford, and the remains laid to rest
along side of those of her companion for
more than half century in the GENIE
| terry at Milton.
