Killed by Lightning
In Hornellsville, June 23, Hannah Stillman, consort of Almeran Stillman, aged 37. Sister Stillman was absent from home to attend the Association in Alfred, and was visiting the family of Benager Hall, and at the time of her death, was reclining on a bed with her head very near, or quite against the wall of the partition. No visible traces of the lightning was found on the person of the deceased, nor in the house, except down the opposite side of the partition, on the floor, and in a chair opposite the bed. All in the house were brought to the floor by the shock, except a small child.
The deceased experienced religion in early life and united with the S. D. B. Church in Berlin, Rensselaer co., N. Y. After moving to Genesee, she united with the church in that place, where she remained a worthy member, adorning her profession by living out the principles of religion, until with her companion, she recently united with the church in Hebron, with a desire to locate there for the purpose of benefiting that feeble band.
Since the engagement of Br. Stillman in the ministry, she has exhibited untiring zeal for his encouragement and promotion. Her last days were spent in laboring for the salvation of sinners, and when she left her home, no more to return, she said it was for the purpose of exhorting her friends to prepare for death. She met them with heartfelt expostulations, and thus continued until the hour of her departure. By this bereavement a husband is deprived of a worthy companion, with four small children left to mourn a loss which can never be restored, and the church militant of a worthy and useful member.

At his home in Trenton, Minn., Sabbath, Jan. 14, 1882, of a complication of diseases, Deacon A. P. Stillman, in the 74th year of his age. Bro. Stillman was born in Lincklaen, Chenango Co., N. Y., Aug. 7, 1808. He united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of DeRuyter, at the age of eleven years, and was a member also of Little Genesee, Hebron, Portville, and Christiana [Utica, WI], churches. In 1863 he joined the Trenton Seventh-day Baptist Church, of which he was a member at the time of his death, to which he looked forward as a deliverer from his painful sufferings. To the vary last he retained consciousness, appearing to have visions of glory, and at one time desiring the window curtain raised that he might see them as they came, and inquiring often "how long before we will get home?" About five or ten minutes before his death, being asked if he knew each in the room, he nodded assent. During his last years he seemed to grow rich in spiritual things, patient, tender hearted, truthful, loving, and childlike. With no murmur of complaint, he bore his intense suffering of body, and for him death had no sting, the grave no victory. The funeral sermon was preached by Eld. G. M. Cottrell, from 2 Tim. 4: 7. G. M. C.
