Noyes Porter Stillman, son of Almeron P. and Lurana Griffin Stillman, was born in Portville, Cattaraugus Co., N. Y., August 26, 1845, and died at Matawan, Minn., December 25, 1919.
His early life was spent in New York and Wisconsin. In 1862 his parents moved to Freeborn Township, Freeborn County, Minn., about three miles from where he died. Later he returned to Wisconsin and attended Albion Academy, graduating from the academy in 1869. After this he attended the University of Minnesota for some time. He spent several years teaching in the public schools of Minnesota, but the greater part of his life was spent in farming.
In early life he made a profession of religion and united with a Seventh Day Baptist church.
March 31, 1874, he married Miss Emma Benjamin, of Vermont. To them were born two daughters, Mrs. Gertrude Wilson, of Minneapolis, Minn. and Mrs. Edith Candor, of Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Stillman died about thirty years ago.
Mr. Stillman had the following half-brothers and half-sisters: Lavina Stillman Burdick, Joseph A, Stillman, Benjamin H. Stillman, Sarah Esther Stillman, Pierce and Lurana Champlin Burdick, all of whom have died except Benjamin H. Stillman, of Eugene, Ore.
For nearly sixty years some of this Stillman family has lived in Freeborn County, Minnesota, but now all have died or gone to other sections of our country. W. D. B.
