"The Milton Journal", Thursday, Sep. 20, 1900, p 1.
The death of "Uncle" John Stillman, which occurred at Albion the 15th inst., removes another of the early settlers in this part of Wisconsin. He was the son of John and Lovina Wells Stillman, and was born in Alfred, N.Y., December 9, 1824. In the year 1838, or 1839, the family moved to Wisconsin settling upon a farm on Rock River. In young manhood Mr. Stillman was married to Miss Clarissa Main of Albion, and settled upon that part of the father's farm now owned by C. D. Balch. There he lived until his children grew up and his wife died thus breaking up the home. Since then he has lived in Albion and Milton a greater part of the time, occasionally making extended visits among his children. His eldest daughter, Mrs. Green Millard, well known in Milton, died two or three years ago; another daughter, Mrs. W. H. Ernst lives at Dodge Centre, Minn., and another in the state of Washington; one son resides in Duluth and the eldest son, Horace, lives at Albion. At the home of this son Mr. Stillman was tenderly cared for during his last sickness. Two sisters also survive him, Mrs. Silas Crandall of Rock River, and Mrs. Thomas Rogers of Waterford, Conn.
In religious faith and practice Mr. Stillman was a Seventh-day Baptist having united with the church of that order in Alfred, N. Y. When the Milton church was organized, in 1840, he and his sister, now Mrs. Crandall, were constituent members. Though he had several times changed his membership, he had returned to Milton and was a member of that church until his death. Mrs. Crandall has never changed her membership, and is the only person who has held continuous membership in the church since it's organization sixty years ago.
Mr. Stillman was a man of strong convictions, which were usually founded upon careful reading and much thought. He loved truth and hated hypocrisy and shams. In politics, he was a Republican, and only a few days before his death, he expressed the hope that he might live long enough to vote again for Mr. McKinley.
The funeral occurred Monday morning. Brief services were held at Albion, the body was taken to the church at Rock River, where funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Dr. Platts, and the remains were laid to rest beside those of his wife who died in 1890.

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 46, No 37, p 592, Sep. 11, 1890.
In Albion, Wis., July 19, 1890, of apoplexy, Mrs. Clarissa J. Stillman, wife of John W. Stillman, aged 61 years, 7 months and 22 days.
She was the daughter of Dea. Prentice Main, and was born in Lincklaen, N. Y. Her last day on earth was the Sabbath, which she enjoyed unusually well. She retired at night apparently as well as she had been for months, soon her husband was aroused, who called their daughter, and in fifteen minutes all was over. She had for many years been a worthy member of the Albion Seventh-day Baptist Church. She leaves a husband and five children and many friends to mourn her loss. Her funeral sermon was preached by the writer from Jas. 4: 14, "Ye know not," etc. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Psa. 116: 15.
