Mrs. Rose Stillman, at her home in Nortonville, Kansas, March 13, 1900, after a very brief illness of a complication of diseases.
She was the daughter of Thompson and Nancy Wheeler Burdick. She was born at Scott, N. Y., August 2, 1832. On November 11, 1852, she was married to Nelson R. Stillman, at DeRuyter, N. Y. They soon moved to Albion, Wis., and later to West Hallock, Ill. At the later place she accepted her Saviour and became a member of the West Hallock Seventh-day Baptist church by baptism. Subsequently they lived in Sibley County, Minnesota, and at Farina, Ill. In 1878, they came to Kansas. She transferred her membership to the Nortonville Seventh-day Baptist church, of which she was a member at the time of her death. Her husband, one son and one daughter and a large circle of other relatives remain in bereavement. A loving wife and kind mother has gone to her reward. G. W. H.
