Mrs. Thos. L. Stillman, died at her home in Edgerton, Wis., early on Thursday morning, July 11, 1907.
Mrs. Farrazina Wilcox Stillman, the youngest daughter of Martin and Mehitabel Wells Wilcox, was born at Homer, Cortland county, N. Y., October 21, 1833. She was married to Thomas L. Stillman on Sabbath-day, May 21, 1859, at Westerly, R. I. Her husband having served his country in the early years of their married life, they came together, at the close of the Civil war, to make their home at Edgerton, where they have since resided. She was prominent in the Woman's Relief Corps of Edgerton, being honored with the position of president when the society was first organized. In many ways she served with rare ability and tact in its work, holding, at the time of her death, the office of treasurer. Her husband and sister, in love and confidence, leaned upon her strength in the recent affliction which came upon the household when its head, the loved and honored Dr. Stillman, was removed by death. But her own strength failed under the burden, and after some weeks of patient suffering, she passed quietly beyond the reach of pain, to her eternal rest. An elaborate floral tribute and a beautifully decorated grave, the presence in a body of the large W.R.C., together with many friends and relatives of the deceased, were indications at the funeral of the loving favor with which she was regarded. The funeral was conducted from the home on Sabbath afternoon, Dr. L. A. Platts, of Milton, and the Rev. F. C. Richardson, of Edgerton, assisting. Text, Rev. 14:13.
