From the book "Rock County, Wisconsin: A New History of its Cities, Villages, Towns, Citizens and Varied Interest, from the Earliest Times, Up to Date" published in 1908.

Mrs. Almira Stiles Dewey, the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Morrill, came to Janesville in the fall of 1844. She was born at St. Johnsbury, Vt., August 8, 1826, and was married to Alfred Dewey, March 17, 1847. They have lived in Janesville since, honored and respected by all.

_______________

From the "Portrait and Biographical Album of Rock County, Wisconsin (1889)":

"On the 17th day of March, 1847, Mr. Dewey was united in marriage with Miss Elmira H. Stiles, a daughter of Joseph and Rachel (Morse) Stiles, who were natives of Vermont. Her father died in the Green Mountain State, when she was but twelve years of age, after which she went to live with the family of a relative, Deacon Benjamin Morrill, (now deceased) with whom she came to Janesville, in 1844, but the health of Mrs. Morrill being poor, the family returned to Vermont in 1846, but the lady did not survive the return journey, dying somewhere in the state of New York. Though not long a resident of this city, Deacon Morrill is well remembered by the pioneers of this town, and was one of the organizers of the First Congregational Church of Janesville. There is now but one of the organizers of this Church living in Janesville - Mrs. Dewey. The deacon was for many years a resident of Orfordville, N.H., where his death occurred in March, 1889. The mother of Mrs. Dewey died at the home of her son in Michigan, Feb 26, 1880. She reared a family of seven children, all of whom are living, with the exception of one."
