MEMORIAL OF THOMAS EDGAR STILLMAN
Their father, Alfred Stillman, was one of the most promising civil and mechanical engineers of his day and one of New York's most public-spirited citizens. Stillman often said that the foundation of the Admiralty business, which he controlled and which became an important factor in his firm's general business, was the case of the Circassian. Appendix E 105 reorganization gives only a hint of his driving activity and of the confidence of his clients.
He was a trustee of that church from 1883 to 1904, and was president of the Board of Trustees for FOilr terms. Stillman was one of the signers of the call made in December, 1869, for the organization of this association.
