ALBERT B. STILLWELL, proprietor of the "Stillwell House," of Lewisburg, is
a son of Osburn B. and Deborah L.(McCord) Stillwell, both natives of this
State, where they grew up and were married.  Their family consisted of
three children, only one of whom, our subject, is living.
One child died in infancy, and the other enlisted in the was and was
captured at Fort Donelson.  After lying in prison but a few days at
Lafayette, Ind., he died from a relapse of the measels caused by
exposure.  The father was a tiller of the soil, and died while in the full
strength of
manhood.  The mother then married John J. Elliott, by whom she had three
children.  She died in
1883.  Our subject was born October 31, 1842, in Marshall County.  His
ascestors on his mother's side were Scotch-Irish, and on his father's
probably Irish.  He passed his boyhood days in assisting on the farm, and
received a limited education, owing to the financial circumstances in
which the family were left at the death of the father.  In 1866 our subject
began the mercantile business at Verona, and this he continued until
1878.  Two years later he was elected trustee, and for four years filled
that office in an able manner,  In 1868 he wedded Mary K. Collins.  Mr.
Stillwell is a member of the Christian Church, and Mrs. Stillwell of the
Methodist Church. In 1882 our subject purchased the hotel that he is now
conducting.
