Mrs. William Stone.  The Third Within Two Weeks. Last of the Family.

The death of Mrs. William Stone, aged 63 years, which occurred last night at her
home southeast of the village, is the third in the family within two weeks, her
mother and husband having been buried on the last two successive Sundays.  No
arrangements have yet been made for the funeral services.  The family have lived
in Boston township thirty-six years, having emigrated from New York, and were
held in high regard throughout the community.  Mrs. Stone was the last member of
the family, as there are no children.  At the time of her husband’s death, last
Thursday, she was very ill with pneumonia, and, being weakened by the shock of
his loss, she failed rapidly in spite of the loving care of her friends.

------------

The funeral of Mrs. Wm. Stone who died at her home in Boston township Wednesday,
Feb. 6th at the age of sixty-three years, was held at the South Boston M. E.
church Sunday, conducted by Rev. Braund of Alto, and was largely attended.  The
body was laid to rest in South Boston cemetery, beside her husband, who was
buried just one week earlier.  Mrs. Stone came here from New York thirty-six
years ago and has lived here ever since.  All who knew her loved her for she was
of a sunny, cheery disposition.  She dearly loved children although she had none
of her own, and the remark made by a little boy when told that she was dead,
“Mamma, is that the lady that always had a smile?”, shows how the children loved
her.  Mrs. Stone was always interested in the school exhibitions and had been of
much service to those who were children when she first came here.  She leaves no
near relatives; her husband and mother having passed away just before her.
