Amanda Catherine Boyer was born in Harrison County, Indiana, September 16,
1844, moved with her parents to Clark County, Ill. about the year 1858.  Was
married to J. M. Coons April 14, 1864.  She was converted and joined the M.
E. Church when but a girl, lived ever a devoted Christian life, often in her
sickness which lasted for two years, expressing her willingness to yield
whenever the messenger of death should call for her, as she was ready to go.
She leaves a husband and thirteen children to mourn her loss, and now they
realize to the full the meaning of the motto, "What is home without a
mother?"

She was interred in the Green Moss cemetery, the funeral being conducted by
Bro.'s McLain and Reed, and by her request was preached at both the Auburn
Church and the Dolson Chapel, Bro. Reed preaching at the former place and
Bro. McLain at the latter, a large concourse of sympathizing friends being
in attendance at each concourse.
