Postville Review, Wed., 28 April 1875.

DIED- In Postville on Sunday, April 25th, Mrs. Hannah Stiles, in the 63d year of her age.

Mrs. Stiles was born in Tompkins Co., N.Y., Nov. 19th, 1812. She was married to Timothy Stiles in Dec. 1834, Steuben Co., N.Y., removed to Alleghany Co., in 1837, and from thence to Postville in 1855, arriving here April 25th, just 20 years prior to the day of her death.

She had been a faithful and exemplary member of the M.E. church for about 50 years. To such as she, death has no sting, the grave no victory. Universally respected and loved, she will be greatly missed by her relatives and friends, but amidst their grief they can but rejoice in the conciousness that she has "climbed the golden stair", beyond the reach of pain, and henceforth, while eternity endures she has a glorious home in the "beautiful land", a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
