Portion of biographical note on Amos J. Stillwell pertaining to his son:
Richard Stillwell, our subject's son by his first wife, was associated with his father for several years prior to his death, and has since conducted the same very ably. The cold storage and ice plant above mentioned is one of the largest of its kind in Missouri and is very largely patronized by business men and residents of this section. Almost all of the ice consumed by Hannibal citizens is manufactured by Mr. Stillwell. Richard H. Stillwell ranks among Hannibal's most influential men and is connected with many important business enterprises throughout this section. He has carefully looked after and developed the extensive interests left by his father and is to-day considered to be one of the most successful men in this section of the state.
Like his father before him, he has at all times taken a most active interest in the development of Hannibal's commercial resources, and possessing a high character, faithful and true in all the relations of life, a reputation which has never yet been assailed, he ranks among our most highly useful citizens and men of business.
