In Albion, Wis., May 4, 1887, Mr. John Stillman, aged 85 years. Bro. Stillman was born in Berlin, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., and was the son of Geo. Stillman. While young, he moved, with his father, to Alfred; experienced religion and was baptized by Eld. Satterlee, and joined the Alfred Church Dec. 21, 1821; was married to Lovina Wells, who, but a few years ago, passed over the river and there awaits his coming. In 1839, Brother Stillman, with his family, came to Wisconsin, and settled at Rock River; and, when the Milton Church was organized, became one of its constituent members. Later, when the Rock River Church was organized, he became a constituent member of that church. Since that, he removed to the vicinity of the Albion Church; and, in the spring of 1865, joined that church, of which he was a member at his death. Bro. Stillman was a man of but few words, but he faithfully maintained his profession, and filled his place with the people of God. In the latter part of his life he fell into a decline, and became entirely blind and quite deaf, yet he enjoyed visits from friends, and especially conversation upon religious subjects. His funeral was held at the Rock River church, and he was buried in the cemetery by the side of his wife. A sermon was preached by Eld. J. C. Rogers to a large assembly of relatives and friends, from 2 Cor. 5: 1.

In Albion, Wis., Jan. 4th, 1867, Lavina Stillman, wife of John Stillman, in the 68th year of her age. The deceased in quite early life sought and found the Saviour, but did not make a public profession of religion until some years later. In 1822, she put on Christ by open profession, and united with the First Alfred Church, where she remained a worthy member until the year 1839, when she with her family removed to Milton, Wis. She was among the little band who first planted the banner of the cross, amid the storms and conflicts of a frontier life in that place. When the Rock River Church was organized [in 1856], she was again among those who first covenanted together in church obligation. At the time of her death, she was a member of the Albion Church. For many years she had been an invalid, patiently awaiting the summons that should relieve her of earth's trials. On account of ill health, she was deprived of church privileges; but long a student of the Bible, and blessed with a retentive memory, she never was without the consolation of the Gospel, and finally died in the triumphs of faith, leaving a large circle of friends to mourn their loss, and rejoice in her eternal gain.

Note: B. F. R. is most likely her son-in-law Rev. Benjamin Fox Rogers, husband of her daughter Adelia.
