     This popular citizen and valued public official of Mineral county, this

state, is a native of Colorado, born on Greenhorn range in Pueblo county on July

28, 1880, and the son of Charles and Apollonia (Kohn) Stone, natives of Germany

who emigrated to the United States in 1873 and lived in Rhode Island until 1877,

then came to Colorado.  While in Germany the father was a sailor and traveled on

many vessels to many ports.  During his residence in Rhode Island he followed

blacksmithing with profit, and after his arrival in Colorado adhered for a time

to the same craft.  He has also engaged in mining here with good success.  He is

a Democrat in politics and has served as alderman.  Three of the children born

to the family are living, Carl F., who resides at Bizbee, Arizona; Albert E.R.,

and William.  The last named obtained a good business education, attending the

Hinsdale school at Pueblo and schools at Creede.  He has had extensive business

experience, having been deputy postmaster at Creede a number of years, and

afterward a clerk for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad at the same place.  Since

1901 he has been county clerk and recorder of Mineral county, and has filled the

office with great credit to himself and satisfaction to the people. He is a

Democrat in political faith and allegiance, and has proven himself to be a

wide-awake and competent official, and a public-spirited citizen.  Fraternally

he is allied with the Knights of Pythias, the Elks and the Masons.  In all the

relations of life he has met the requirements of duty with manliness and

uprightness, and is universally esteemed throughout the county.
