OBITUARY
Died, Dec. 30, 1899, at 9:45 a.m., Nancy L., the wife of Benjamin Stillwell. 
The deceased leaves a husband and eight children, death having never entered 
the family circle before. 
Nancy L. Lewis was born in Crawford county, Pa., Sept. 27, 1836, residing there 
till 13 years of age, when the family moved to Green county, Wis. She was 
married July 27, 1856. She was the mother of eight children, all living, Mrs. 
Mary Verley being the oldest, Mrs. Pearl Carter the youngest, both of this 
place. Six of the children were at her bedside when death called her, Mrs. 
Myrtle Pilgrim of Boise, and Mrs. Dora Smith of Audubon county, Kans., being 
absent. She was converted and joined the Baptist church in July 1861, being a 
member of that body ever since, nearly 40 years. A loving mother, a true 
friend, a consistent, earnest Christian, kind, pleasant, hospitable, not only 
her family but a large circle of friends will greatly mourn her loss. 
Funeral services were conducted in the Baptist church, Sunday, Dec. 31, at 2:30 
p.m. Sermon was preached by Rev. J. M. Skinner, choosing for his text part of 
the 7th verse of the 5th chapter of Judges, “A Mother in Israel.”
