Mrs. Jane Asenath Stillman Thomas was born in Newport, Herkimer Co., N. Y., Oct. 10, 1818, and died at her home in Alfred, after an illness of about five weeks of heart disease, March 29, 1890, in the 72d year of her age.
Mrs. Thomas was a daughter of Ezra Stillman, long known and well remembered. Four sons and one daughter only are now left of his family. Under the ministry of Eld. John Green she was baptized and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Newport, of which she remained a member until it disbanded, and she never removed her membership. Her life was marked for honesty of deal and purity of character. In 1849 she was married to Abial Thomas, by whom she had seven children. She was held in honorable esteem by all who knew her, and casting all her cares on Jesus, she died, as she had lived, a Christian.
Funeral by the writer, in the Second Alfred Church. Heb. 11: 13. J. S.
