Mrs. Lydia C. Stillwell, wife of Judge Walter S. Stillwell of Tuscumbia suffered a serious attack of illness at her home early on Wednesday morning of last week. She was at once taken to ST. Mary's Hospital in Jefferson City for an examination and treatment, but passed away on the following day, Thursday, July 18.
Lydia C. Fendorf was born in Miller County, Missouri, September 25 1883. She passed on at St. Mary's Hospital, Jefferson City, Missouri, July 18, 1935, aged 51 years, 9 months and 23 days. She was the daughter of Frank W. Fendorf (now deceased) and Mary Isabelle Fendorf, who survives her.
On April 25, 1905, she was united in marriage to Walter S. Stillwell, at her home in Tuscumbia. To this union five children were born, four of them surviving, namely: Mary Elizabeth, now Mrs. Raymond A. Hagener of Jefferson City, Robert M. of Lakeside and Roger W. and Mildred, at home. One daughter, Marjorie, died in infancy. She is also survived by one grandchild, Carol Marie Stillwell.
Besides her mother, she is also survived by three brothers and two sisters: C.E. Fendorf and R.M. Fendorf of Tuscumbia, Frank E. Fendorf of Eldon, Mrs. C.B. Kouns, of Walnut Creek, California, and Mrs. H. M. Swanson of Tuscumbia. One brother, Fred Fendorf, preceded her in death, as also one sister, Bertha.
She was converted in early life, and united with the Tuscumbia Presbyterian Church, in which faith she lived a consistent Christian life until her death.
Mrs. Stillwell was a semi-invalid for the past fifteen years or more. During this time she has been a patient and uncomplaining sufferer, but through it all she was a devoted wife and mother. Funeral services were held at the home Saturday at 3:00 p.m. in charge of Rev. C. Smutz pastor of the Presbyterian Church, after which her tired body was placed to rest in the family lot located in the Tuscumbia Cemetery. Phillips Funeral Home of Eldon provided the service.
