Death of John Stillson.
A WELL KNOWN CITIZEN Of THE TOWN.
An old and well Known citizen of the
town has passed away in the death of
John Stillson, who died suddenly of val
vular disease of the heart, Friday morn
tng, the S:h, aged 7G years. With one
exception be wat the oldest resident of
Hattertown, being born there December
1G, 1S20, the oldest son of a family of
nine children, only two of whom are now
living, Alfred Stillson and Mrs Philo B.
Sherwood of Easton. He was a remark
ably healthy and well-preserved man,
never requiring the services of a physic
ian until about tliree years ago when he
had a severe attack of the grip, and from
which he never fully recovered. The
grip brought on heart trouble and this
was aggravated by a fall abont a month
ago, which ii jurei him quite badly.
From the effects of this he bad nearly
recovered, being able to get around and
to go out of doors, which gave him much
pleasure. Hs ate breakfast with his fam
ily and appeared as well as usual on Fri
day morning, out soon complained of a
peculiar fueling in the region of bis heart.
tie walked f.bout the room a few times,
then fut do.vn and a few moments after-
Wiitdi, and without uttering a word, fell
forward from h'H chair and died suddenly
and painlessly. In October, 1319, he was
united in marriage to Mary . Sherui-in
of Monroe, who with one son, Carlos D ,
survives him. He was naturally a kind
hearted, indulgent man, a good neighbor
and an honest citizen. He was much at
tached to his home, which he himself
built some 50 years ago, and here he waa
always found at the close of every day's
work, generally persuing his favorite
pastime of reading, which was, especial
ly during his later years, his chief diver-
ion. Having an excellent memory tie
was able to retain much that he read. It
was hl3 proud boast that he never owned
or used a pair of glasses. The funeral
services were held at the house on Mon-
I day conducted by Rev F. P. Braman ol
the Stepney Baptist church. The pall
I bearers were chosen from among bis life-
I long neighbors and were Messrs Ralph
I B nedict, Charles Benedict, George Tor-
j ney and George R. Parmelee. He was
j laid at rest in the family lot in the Hunt-
I ingtown cemetery.
