On May 5, 1909, Charles A. Stillman, at the age of 84 years and 3 months.
Charles A. Stillman was the son of Adam and Lydia Spaulding Stillman, and was born January 30, 1825, in the old Stillman house on Berry Hill, between Westerly and Potter Hill. On October 4, 1846, he was married to Esther V. Babcock, who died March 18, 1853, leaving two children, G. Edward and Lucius. He was afterward married to Eliza C. Stillman on November 30, 1855 [1854], who survives him. He leaves a sister, Mrs. E. Clarke Saunders of Westerly, a brother, Asa of Seattle, and three children: G. Edward of Plainfield, N. J., E. Herman of Westerly, and Mrs. James C. Hemphill, with whom he made his home. Last January Mr. Stillman had a fall which developed other troubles, chief of which was a hardening of the arteries from which he died. He joined the First Hopkinton Church in 1840, and on moving to Westerly, in 1852, transferred his membership to the Pawcatuck Church, of which he was a member at the time of his death.
The funeral service was held at his late home on Sabbath day, May 8, conducted by the pastor.
C. A. B.
