THE IDAHO STATESMAN, January 16, 1913
 PIONEER IS LAID TO REST - C.C. Stone Buried in Cemetery he helped to Plat 31 
years ago.
 Charles Christopher Stone, who died early Tuesday morning of peritonitis, at 
St. Alphonsos' hospital, was laid to rest Wednesday afternoon in the Dry Creek 
cemetery beside his wife and two little daughters. His wife's parents, Colonel 
H. J. G. and Mrs. Arabella Maxon, are lying in an adjoining lot and a little 
grand-daughter also lies near him. Thirty- one years ago Mr. Stone helped his 
father-in-law and other pioneer neighbors survey and plat the cemetery in which 
he was laid to rest yesterday.
 Charles C. Stone was born 67 years ago in Kentucky, coming with his parents, 
Dr. and Mrs. Rhoda Stone, to California, when a very small boy. In 1862 he came 
to Idaho with his elder brother who was killed by Indians near Falk's store. 
Charles escaped and joined the miners who were making the first gold rush to 
the Boise Basin. He became a miner, with the good and bad luck which 
accompanies those that delve for old earth's treasures. He was of a fearless 
nature and joined in many a raid against the hostile Indians. He was a pioneer 
of the old west and no man or beast ever appealed to him in vain.
 Forty-five years ago Mr. Stone and Miss Susan Ann Maxon were united in 
marriage. Nine children were born to them, seven of whom are living, five 
daughters and two sons. To these children Mr. Stone was a tender comrade and 
his sympathy and understanding  was worth more to them than any amount of 
worldly possessions. His going from among them will leave a void until the 
family circle is complete again beyond the Great Divide
 The past ten years Mr. Stone spent in Atlanta, where he had valuable placer 
property.
 The funeral services were held at Schreiber's chapel, Rev. R.B. Wright 
officiating.
