Children of Paul Stillman
and Sarah Thurston Bliss
daughter of Captain Thomas Ward Bliss and Sarah Casey Thurston
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 12, No 18, p 71, Oct. 11, 1855.
In Warwick, R. I., Sept. 28th, at the residence of her son, Mrs. Sarah T. Stillman, wife of the late Paul Stillman, of Westerly, R. I., in the 67th year of her age. The deceased was from early life a member of the church of Christ, having united with the church at Newport, under the pastoral care of her grandfather, Rev. William Bliss. She has suffered much through life, from sickness and bodily infirmities, and for the last five years had been mostly confined to her room, much of the time prostrated, and especially in the latter part suffering intensely; yet strong in faith she passed calmly through the valley and the river of death, and fell asleep sweetly in Jesus. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
