- Of lingering consumption, at Lima Center,
Wis., June 17, 1882, J[ohn] Alonzo
- TRUMAN,
aged 55 years, 5 months, and 16 days. Bro. TRUMAN was
at the time of his decease a highly esteemed member of the Seventh-day
Baptist Church at Milton, Wis. He was born in Scott, Cortland
Co., N.Y [the son of John TRUMAN]. In his earlier life
he made a profession of religion, and united with the Seventh-day
Baptist Church at Friendship, N.Y. When thirty-seven years of
age, he moved from Allegany county, N.Y., to Lima, Wis., where
he has resided for the past eighteen years. Two years ago last
March, Brother and Sister TRUMAN buried their daughter,
their only child, and now the father has gone to be with Christ
and the daughter who had gone before him. He was very much beloved
and honored by all who knew him as a consistent Christian and
an intelligent and manly man. None was more beloved and respected
than he was. He had been ready to go whenever it pleased the
Lord to take him. He was remarkably patient and cheerful under
long and painful illness. He leaves a widow who will greatly
feel her loss, for by years of patient care and watching she
had become endeared to him as much pains-taking for the sick
and suffering can only endear one to the sufferer. The funeral
exercises were held on First-day, at Lima Center; a large concourse
of neighbors and friends were present. The sermon was preached
by the pastor of the Church of which he was a member, from the
following text: "And Enoch walked with God, and he was not:
for God took him." E. M. D. [Vol. 38, No. 28, p. 5]

She was the last of eight daughters of Dea. George, and Sally
STILLMAN, born Jan. 8, 1799, at Berlin, Rensselaer Cp.,
N.Y., whence she removed, with her parents to Alfred, while quite
young, and united with the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of
that place. She was married to Gardner HALL, Sept. 25,
1817, and with him moved to Rock county Wis., in the Fall of
1839, and became one of the constituent members of the Milton
Seventh-day Baptist Church. She was also one of the constituent
members of the Milton Junction seventh-day Baptist Church, with
which she continued in full fellowship till her membership was
transferred to the church triumphant. She was indeed a mother
of Israel, with a heart full of love and sympathy for all. N.
