"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 42, No 45, p 5, Nov. 11, 1886.
At DeRuyter, N. Y., Nov. 2, 1886, Amelia, daughter of Elias and Sarah Irish, and wife of Eld. Halsey Stillman. She was born in North Stonington, Conn., Jan. 17, 1815. In her infancy her parents moved to Truxton, now Cuyler Hill, N. Y., and there, in 1831, she was married to Halsey Stillman, to whom she was a devoted companion for more than fifty-five years. Soon after their marriage both made a profession of religion, were baptized by Eld. Stillman Coon, and joined the Lincklaen Church. After a few years they moved to Watson, where they united with that church, and then returned to Otselic, where her husband was called to the ministry, and preached several years. On their removal to Farina, Ill., she became one of the constituent members of that church, and on their return to New York, again joined the Lincklaen Church. God blessed them with eleven children, all of whom lived to grow up, and eight of these were with their mother during her sickness. Last Sabbath afternoon, when she was in great distress of body, her husband repeated the words afterwards used as the text for her funeral, 'Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,' and she sweetly added as her last words, 'Yes, Jesus will give me rest.'
