At some point his family moved to Illinois where he spent 15 years in the grocery business in Cairo. In 1879 southern Illinois was plagued by a yellow fever outbreak and he decided to try and find a healthier place to live.He arrived in the largely lawless Deadwood a day before a fire destroyed 300 buildings and displaced over 2,000 people. Despite the fire and the dangers of Deadwood. Stilwell found a job at a bank, brought his family to town and built a house. He became fascinated by the fossils in the Black Hills and began a careful study of the region, developing relationships with other fossil collectors�he sold and shipped a great many fossils to Baron Ernes de Bayet, a Belgian collector who, in 1903, sold his very large collection to Andrew Carnegie for $21,000 plus $2,300 for packing and shipping�there are 100 Stilwel fossils in the Carnegie purchase in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. Eventually, he turned his hobby into a side business. .
