COBURN-I. B. Coburn of the old pioneer stock, his father James Brown Coburn, a cooper by trade, having in 1816 walked from New Haven, Conn., and settled on the farm, which to this day remains the family home. Here he married Amanda Lake and to them was born six children: Wilmot, Ruth, Harriet, Henry, Mary and on Oct. 26, 1836 the youngest Isaac Benedict, the subject of this sketch. "Ben.," the name by which he was familiarly known, continued in the ownership and occupancy of these acres during his entire life of more than four-score years. He was united by marriage on January 11, 1865, to Miss Lucretia Mahoney, and they were blest with two children-Lucy and Mary- who contributed much to his comfort in his declining years. His wife after bestowing on him all the tender car in her power, preceded him by a few months to the grave. He had proved in their long walk together an affectionate husband. His daughters remember him as an embodiment of kindness. His steady, industrious habits were known to all. Uncomplainingly he saw those things which mean so much in the enjoyment of life, the power to labor, hear, see and move slip away from him one by one. Then darkness settled on him until death came to his relief on April 6, 1918. A bright light for each of us may flow from the marble under which he rests and on which can be truthfully inscribed: Here lies the noblest work of God--an honest man.

MAHONEY-Edward Mahoney was born at Spring Hill, February 7, 1861. He was one of a family of 12 children and came of pioneer stock. He owned and for the greater part of his life, resided on a part of the farm that had been the home of his father, and of his grandfather, who was one of the early settlers of this section. A little over a year ago, finding the work on the farm increasingly difficult, he was forced to sell his farm and remove with his wife to Vestal, NY. Regarding the arrangement as only temporary, however, he was looking forward to the time when he could find a small place suited to his needs somewhere in this vicinity. Last Saturday he had driven down from Vestal with his wife and was spending the night at the home of his cousins, Mary and Lucy Coburn, on Spring Hill. During the night, death came to him very quietly. His wife was awakened at an early hour Sunday morning by a peculiarity in his breathing and before help could be summoned, he had expired. He had not been in his usual state of health for the past three weeks and had known for some time that he had a serious heart affliction. However, his sudden death was entirely unexpected and came as a great shock to his friends and loved ones. A man of sturdy uprightness of character, he leaves many friends and old neighbors who truly mourn his loss. Of his immediate family, only one brother, Robert, and one sister, Mrs. Charles Keeney, both of Denver, Colo., his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Hazen Wintermute, of Vestal survive him. The funeral services were held Tuesday, October 14. From the Coburn home, the body was carried to the Baptist Church in Laceyville where services were conducted by Rev. Clarence Carman of Endicott.

WELLS-Helen Wells, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guy W. Wells, of Welbec Farms, Spring Hill, died on Sunday, Nov. 11, 1927 of pneumonia, after only a weeks illness. She was born Feb. 5, 1904. Thus reads the brief obituary of this young and beautiful girl. Such announcements are a part of the news which we read every day in our papers. But what a message of sorrow and loss such words convey to those whose loved one has been taken away from them! While the visitor, Death, comes sooner or later into the homes of all, yet he is the greatest stranger of all, and is never a welcome guest, and the less welcome the more often he calls. Yet death seems to belong more naturally to old age than to youth. All the friends know so well what has come to his home. But two years ago the only son was taken, and now the daughter has been called away, and aching hearts are left behind. Our friend, Helen, was just blossoming into beautiful and attractive young womanhood. As her young friends and older ones speak of her, we hear them say, " She was so attractive, so cheerful, so fully alive to all the good things of life." "How thoughtful and helpful she was in the home, and what a place she filled in her circle of friends, and in the public school and in the Sunday school." She was so fond of music and singing, and so willing to use her talent. She was the organist at school. She had for years been a member of the Sunday school in the church on Spring Hill, and was a very regular attendant on Sundays. She was greatly interested in the work and activities of the school and church. A great company of relatives and friends unite in touching and heartfelt expressions of sympathy for the stricken parents and friends. The funeral services were held at the home on Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 2 o'clock. Rev. Lewis B. Sheen, assistant rector of St. Stephen church in Wilkes-Barre, officiated, assisted by Rev. Roscoe Walker of Wyalusing, and Rev. M. L. Cook of Camptown. The interment was made in Spring Hill cemetery. Submitted by Patty Shumway pshumway@epix.net
