Comment: Stillman's grave gives her dates as 1849-1900 and she died 30 Dec 1900, so the dates on the window are incorrect [FINDAGRAVE, NYT1901, DEDUCED]
Calvert & Kimberly were contracted to make the window [CK1904]
The Cowles also designed seven windows, also located in the Honor Room, in memory of Lewis P. Child, "The Seven Parables of the Kingdom", from 1905-1908, but it is not known who made the windows [NYS1905, NYT1908, GRACE1924]
