Note on Find a Grave:
As a young man of twenty years, my Great, Great Grandfather, David Cosat, son of the Reverend Jacob Cosat, set out from Mercer County, Kentucky and settled in the new state of Illinois. In 1835 he purchased and homesteaded 80 acres in what was to become Blount Township of Vermilion County. He wed Nancy Traux in 1836 and fathered twelve children, six of whom lived to adulthood. A successful farmer, in 1849 he acquired additional lands, bringing his total holdings to 235 acres. In 1886 David passed to his reward and was buried alongside his wife in Fairchild Family Cemetery about 2 miles from the original 1835 Cosat homestead. Fairchild Cemetery is now part of the Illinois Nature Preserve.

We are sad to state the fact of the death of David Cosat, familiarly known as "Uncle Davey", which occurred last Friday at 2 o'clock p.m. The funeral was preached at Union Church last Sunday, to a large and attentive audience, by Rev. Oscar B. Gravat, from the 19th Psalm and 11th verse "Morever is thy servant warned, and in keeping of them there is great reward."
To attempt to give even an outline of the sermon would seem to be a utter failure on my part, so that I will only say that he dwelled on the w9th Psalm some time and then turned to the precious promises contained in the 21st chapter of Revelations.
After the funeral sermon the Rev Hubbard spoke a few words to the afflicted family, and the casket was opened for the friends to take a last look at the remains, then it was conveyed to the wagon by the pall bearers, and was taken to the Fairchild Graveyard for interment. Owing to some misunderstanding not as many followed as intended. The community joins in sympathy for the friends of the deceased, who have gone on before them.
David Cosat was born in Mercer county, Kentucky, October 10, A.D. 1812; came to Illinois in the spring of 1834, where, on January 14, 1836, he was married to Nancy Truax, by whom he became the father of 13 children, 4 sons and 9 daughters, of whom 7 preceded him to the spirit world. Was married again January 15, 1880, to Mrs. Sarah A. Cox, who still survives him. He obeyed the Gospel and became a christian in 1836 in which faith he lived till February 26, 1886 , when he gently and joyfully passed away, aged 73 years, 4 months and 16 day.
