April l3, l899
PARIS STILL died at his home in Eden Township, April 4, l899, aged 43
years, 7 months and l day.
He was born and reared in this county and has resided in this
neighborhood all his life with the exception of two or three years spent
in Taylor County, this state. Brother STILL expressed faith in Christ
in December, l874, during a series of meetings conducted by Rev. A.
Stanley; and united with the New Salem Baptist Church and has ever since
been willing to bear testimony for the Master.
He was married November 2, l879, to MISS GEORGIANA DELONG. To this
union were born eight children, six of whom still live, two dying in
infancy. Brother STILL, during his recent illness, bore his suffering
most patiently. He was followed to his last resting place by a large
number of relatives and friends, and laid to rest at the side of his
children in New Salem Cemetery.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.H. Hamilton, of Decatur.
The bereaved wife and children have the profound sympathy of their many
friends. May God bless and help them to live that when life's work is
ended they may all meet at the right hand of God.
