The Belding Banner, Wednesday, March 10, 1915

Lewis H. Stone, aged eighty-three, and for many years a resident of Belding 
and vicinity, died at his home in the southeast part of the city Friday 
morning after a two weeks’ illness.

Lewis Stone was born in Solan, New York, August 3, 1832 and spent his boyhood 
days with his father working in a blacksmith shop.  When the Civil war broke 
out he enlisted from Albany as a private in company B, 7th artillery and 
served three years.  During that time he was promoted to the office of 
sergeant and later to that of lieutenant.

At the close of the war Mr. Stone went to Canada to visit relatives and while 
there met and married Catherine Curtis.  About a year after this, in 1867, Mr. 
and Mrs. Stone came to Michigan and settled near Belding.  Mr. Stone is 
survived by a wife, five children and three grandchildren.  Mr. Stone was an 
enthusiastic Democrat and at one time held the office of supervisor.

Funeral services were held at the late home Sunday afternoon at two o’clock in 
charge of Rev. Chas. M. Pease.  Interment was made in the Belding cemetery.  
The local G.A.R. post and the Sons of Veterans attended in a body.
