Obituary of William Stone 

(Dodson Times, Friday, December 28, 1906)

William Stone Dead:  William Stone, of whom mention was made in our last issue
as being sick at the home of his daughter, Mrs. T. W. Moffett of Winnfield,
died Thursday of last week, his remains having been interred with Masonic
ceremonies at Gansville, Friday.  He was a member of that ancient order and
also held membership in the David Pierson Camp No. 1603, of the United
Confederate Veterans., this camp having been organized at Winnfield last
spring.  

Mr. Stone was born at Pollock, La., February 11, 1827 (at the time of his
birth, the area that is known as Pollock, today, was then a part of either
Catahoula or Rapides Parish), and was, therefore 79 years, 10 months, and 9
days old at the time of his death.  He removed to the Gansville country in
early life and was married to Miss Polly Ann Rodgers, from which union two
children were born, Mr. A. Stone of Jackson Parish, and Mrs. T. W. Moffett of
Winnfield.  He leaves two brothers, B. W. Stone of this place, and D. M. Stone
of Wyatt.
