The first birth in the township
occurred in August, 1854, and was a plural affair, twins
to Augustus and Catherine Coon, but the event, in one
sense, proved a very sad one. Mrs. Coon gave her life in
giving birth to the innocent ones. The babies were
christened Alonzo and Melisse; Alonzo died in infancy.
