The Georgia Enterprise, Oct. 24, 1902

  Master Wm. Morton Stone, the 10 year old son of Prof. and Mrs. H. H.
Stone, of Oxford, was killed almost instantly Tuesday afternoon by falling
from a fast moving wagon. The little fellow was returning home from school
and was riding in a wagon. When near his home, the mule gave a quick jerk,
which threw him out, hitting fast upon his head, crushing his skull, and
causing concussion of the brain. He lived but a few minutes after the
accident and never regained consciousness.
  Morton was a manly little fellow for his years and one of the brightest
and most popular students at Palmer Institute.
  The funeral services were held at the church at 3:30  Wednesday afternoon
and were conducted by Rev. J. E. Dickey.
  Sincere sympathy goes out to the heartbroken parents, family and relatives.
