The Ionia Standard, Friday, September 16, 1910

Silas N. Stone, who has been in failing health for the past year and a half, 
died on Thursday afternoon at 5, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Eugene 
Knapp, near Muir.

Mr. Stone was born in Livonia, N.Y., Sept. 10, 1838, and came with the family 
of his father, Darius Stone, to Ionia county in 1846, being then eight years 
old.  The family located in Ionia township, near Muir, the farm being long the 
family homestead.  There were seven children in the family, of whom only one 
now survives—Mrs. Geo. J. Hayes of Muir.

Silas Stone was married to Miss Lorana Beverly of Jackson county July 3, 1859, 
who survives, with two children, Mrs. Knapp, and Orin Stone, of the firm of 
Winchell & Stone, this city.  He remained on the farm until 21 years ago when 
he moved into city where he has since resided.  He was a man of highest type 
of character, and was universally respected and esteemed.  He was an early 
member of the Disciple church at Muir, the membership being transferred here 
on change of residence.

Funeral service at the family home, 625 E. Main, Sunday afternoon, 3 o’clock, 
conducted by Rev. G. Webster Moore.  Interment, Highland Park.

Subsequent Publication, dated unknown:

The funeral service for Silas N. Stone, at the home on Sunday afternoon, was 
largely attended by relatives and old-time neighbors in North Plains and 
Ronald.  Mr. and Mrs. Cassius Perrine of St. Louis, Mich., were the only ones 
present from out of the county.

The service was by Rev. G. Webster Moore, who took occasion in his remarks to 
pay a deserved tribute to the high character of Mr. Stone.  There was no 
music.  The bearers were three nephews—Darius Stone, Burt Stone and Judson 
Stone; and three grandsons—Harry Knapp, Allen Knapp and Herman Hoople.
