Son of George Henry Coonce and Mary Elizabeth Amos Coonce Lundy.
For almost nineteen years Joe B. Coonce lived with us and during these nineteen years he was an honest, upright young man, having a smile for everyone he met, and he was liked by all who knew him.
Joe B. Coonce was born April 9th, 1896, and was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Coonce. Those of his relatives who have gone before him are his father, Henry Coonce, who died in 1899 and a little sister, who died in infancy in 1910. He leaves to mourn his untimely death a devoted and loving mother, who has been so faithful in watching over him during his lifetime; his stepfather, S.P. Lundy; two brothers, Noah and George Coonce; one sister, Mrs. Ruth Beekman; two half-sisters, Marie and Jennie, and one half-brother, Junior Lundy, and the entire neighborhood, who mourn with the relatives in this their hour of bereavement. October 12th, 1914, Joe became a member of the Woodmen of the World, Bigelow Camp, No. 35, and was an enthusiastic member, taking sick a short time after joining the order with that dreaded disease, tuberculosis, which gradually sapped his life away until the end came at 6 o'clock last Sunday morning, March 28th, 1915. About three weeks before his death he made peace with his God, telling his relatives and many friends that he was ready to go. Funeral services were conducted Monday morning at 10 at the Walker schoolhouse by E. L. Henson, of Independence, Mo., a minister of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ, who took his text from Job 14;14, “If a man die shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come,” and the remains were laid away in the old cemetery at Mound City; prayer being offered at the grave by R.K. Ross.
Card of Thanks
We desire to express our deepest sense of gratitude to those friends and neighbors for their help and many kindly offices during the illness and death of our beloved son. May He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb ever deal kindly with them. S. P. Lundy and Family.
