Nathaniel Stillick, a pioneer of Sauk County, Wis., was born in New York
State, of Holland ancestry, the original name of the family being Van
Stillick. He was reared on the banks of the historic Hudson River, and
early started work on that stream at a time when the river traffic was of
utmost importance. For a time he was steamboat pilot, and after some years
was given charge of a boat as captain, making his home in Athens. He came
west in the early fifties and located in Sauk County, this state, where he
farmed for the remainder of his life, dying in 1890. By his first wife,
Sarah Saulsbury, he had four children: William Penn, a child who died in
infancy, Lavina and Lillias. William Penn Stillick was the first man to
enlist in the Civil War from the town of Winfield, Sauk County. He served
in the Fourth Wisconsin, and was killed at Port Hudson, La. Lavina married
Jeremiah Cottington, and died at Dallas, this county, in 1910. Lillias
married Eleazer Millard, now deceased. By his second wife, Mary Raymond,
Mr. Stillick had eight children, of whom there are now living four: Grace,
Mabel, Ralph and Fern. Grace married Theodore Nelson, of Sand Creek, Dunn
County, this state; Mabel is the wife of Charles Clark, of McCabe, Mont.;
Ralph is in Richburg, Sauk County, Wis., and Fern is at Beloit, Wis.
