The Medicine Lodge, Kan., Cresset contains the following sketch of the life of 
Daniel F. Stone;

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of one of the best citizens of 
Kansas. Daniel F. Stone- 
One of those patriotic, upright men who make this country a United States and a 
nation respected among all nations.  His death occurred at 5 o'clock yesterday 
morning, September 12, 1901, at his home in this city, surrounded by a family of 
honorable sons and daughters.  The cause of death was paralysis.  Mr. Stone was 
born in Bedford County, Pennsylvania sixty-eight years ago, the 30th day of last 
August.  He moved to Illinois in 1864 and in 1879 settled in Rice County, 
Kansas, and assisted, materially in wresting that county from the Great American 
desert.  Last spring he moved to Barber county, where most of his children 
reside.
He leaves a wife, who has been his helpmate through many years, five sons and 
three daughters, all of whom were present when the grim messenger arrived.  All 
of them except Mrs. Clark Conking, of Lyons, reside in Barber County.  The boys 
are Harry, Frank, Fred, Howard and Daniel Stone.  One daughter, Mrs. J. M. Hall 
lives in the Valley Township and the other daughter unmarried remained at 
home to care for her parents.
Mr. Stone was a native of Friend's Cove and was married to Miss Catherine 
Shoemaker, daughter of Philip Shoemaker.
