Phalla Catherine Allen Stillman, daughter of George Franklin and Olive Burdick Allen, was born at Alfred Center, N. Y., Feb. 5, 1878, and died at the Brown Nursing Home, Hornell, N. Y., April 25, 1963, where she had been a patient for almost two years.

She was baptized May 30, 1890, and united with the First Seventh Day Baptist Church of Alfred, of which she has been a lifelong and faithful member. She was active in the Ladies' Aid Society and served as its president for two years.

For a number of years Miss Allen set type by hand for the Sabbath Recorder when it was published at Alfred, N. Y. When the printing of the journal was transferred to Plainfield, N. J., she began working for the Alfred Sun, where she became the paper's first linotype operator.

On Feb. 3, 1926, she was married to Frank E. Stillman of Alfred, who died in 1930.

Mrs. Stillman is survived by six nephews and six nieces in various parts of the country.

Funeral services were held at the Crandall and Crandall Funeral Home, Hornell, N. Y., on Sabbath afternoon, April 27, 1963, with her pastor, the Rev. Hurley S. Warren, officiating. Interment was in Alfred Rural Cemetery.
