The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, September 15, 1942


Mrs. Darius Stone, 76, died suddenly Monday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock at her 
home in Ionia township after a month’s illness.

She was born in Ontario county, New York, October 3, 1865.  Her parents, Mr. 
and Mrs. William L. Jackson, were both natives of New York state.  In 1870, Mr. 
and Mrs. Jackson and four-year-old daughter, Jennie, moved to Michigan and 
settled in North Plains township on what is known as the A. C. Hayes farm.  At 
that time, the farm was owned by N. B. Hayes and Mr. Jackson was employed as 
foreman of the farm.  Several years later, Mr. Jackson purchased the Cheney 
Spaulding farm.  Jennie attended both the Hayes and Case schools.

May 22, 1884, she was married to Darius G. Stone at the Presbyterian manse at 
Muir by the late Rev. George Ransom.  They moved to the farm owned by Mr. 
Stone’s grandfather.  It was a farm which had been homesteaded from the 
government, and here they continued to reside for 58 years.

Eight years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Stone celebrated their golden wedding anniversary 
with an elaborate ceremony at their home. Only four months ago they had a 58th 
wedding anniversary party.  

Surviving her are the husband, Darius; two nieces, Mrs. S. J. Corey of Owosso 
and Mrs. Charles Lincoln of Ionia; two nephews, Dewey Randall of Muir and 
Truman Stone of Monroe, Wisconsin.

Funeral services will be held from the farm home in Ionia township Thursday, 
September 17, at 2:30 o’clock.  Rev. A. J. Westmaas of the First Presbyterian 
church will officiate and burial will be in North Plains cemetery.
