Miss Aura Wing Coburn

(From the Brunswick, Maine, Record)

After an illness of 10 weeks, Miss Aura Wing Coburn passed away on Monday, April 12, at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Stoddart, State College, Penn., where she had made her home for a number of years, her sister, Mrs. Cook, also being a member of the family.

Miss Coburn was born at Brunswick, Feb. 20, 1849, the daughter of Artemus and Clarissa Wing Coburn. She had two sisters, Mrs. Mary L. Newman who died in Washington, D. C., in 1913 and Mrs. Clara Wing Cook, a resident of State College; and a brother, A. L. Coburn, who died in Cambridge, Maryland, in 1921.

Mrs. Cook and her daughter, Mrs.

Stoddart, accompanied the remains to Brunswick for interment in the family lot. The committal service was read and prayer offered by Rev. Dr. James F. Albion, at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. The funeral was held at State College, the Rev. Dr. Frear, officiating. Miss Coburn had made many friends there, to whom she had become endeared by her gentle bearing and kindly ways. Her last days were cheered and brightened by loving tokens of friendship expressed in many ways.

Miss Coburn's life was one of activity throughout. She early became helpful in the home life of her family and held the same spirit wherever she might be. She inherited from strictly upright and Christian parents, the belief that the home, the church and education were the fundamental forces insuring the welfare of all, and witnessed the love of God outstanding in their lives above all else.

She determined to prepare herself for teaching and after thorough training as a teacher of the Greek and Latin languages, she accepted a position as instructor at the Columbus, Ohio, High school, which she occupied for eight years. She also held a like position at Flushing, N. Y., where she taught for two years.

Meanwhile, her aged mother having become an almost helpless invalid, Miss to her Coburn devotedly ministered her every want, year after year, until the time of her death at the advanced age of 90 years.

Though physically frail, Miss Coburn possessed an indomitable will and courage sufficient to sustain her 77 years of varied experiences, so that she kept the even tenor of her way altogether. "Faithful unto death," she has earned her rest.
