"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 48, No 19, p 304, May 12, 1892. At his home in Alfred Centre, N. Y., May 3, 1892, Phineas Stillman, aged 83 years, 7 months and 29 days. The deceased was the fifth in a family of nine children born to Maxson and Esther Crandall Stillman. He came with his parents from Berlin, N. Y., to Alfred when a small boy, where he resided till the time of his death. He professed religion in early manhood, while temporarily engaged in labor at Little Genesee., where he first identified himself with the church. He afterward removed his standing to the First Alfred Church, of which he was a worth member at the time of his death. He was married to Orpha Crandall in 1832. From this happy marriage a family of six children survive their parents, the mother having departed some years ago. In the years of his physical strength and activity he contributed very liberally, both of means and labor, to the building up of the church and school. He leaves one brother and three sisters of his own family to mourn his loss. He was a man of very strong, natural affection toward his family and his children fully reciprocated his affection and ministered to his every want in his declining years. A very large circle of friends and former students who used to be welcomed at his home tenderly remember him as a noble man and a very worthy friend.T. R. W.
