STONE, DRAKE, SHULL, GOWELL



J. D. STONE, a prominent citizen of the Seventh District, was born in

Lincoln County, Tenn., December 25, 1839, one of six children born to the

marriage of L. L. STONE and E. P. DRAKE, who were born in Bedford County,

Va., and Madison County, Ala., respectively.  The father's birth occurred

in 1801.  He came to Tennessee, with his parents, when about sixteen years

of age.  He was a farmer and owned upward of 1,000 acres of land.  He died

in 1880.  The mother departed this life in 1872.  Our subject received his

rudimentary education in the common schools of Lincoln County, and

afterward attended Nashville University.  In 1861 he wedded S. A., daughter

of D. B. and Julia SHULL, and their union resulted in the birth of five

children:  Julia (Mrs. J. A. GOWELL), Eva, B. B., E. E. and Rose.  Our

subject has always resided on the old homestead.  After the death of his

father he fell heir to a portion of the family estate, and he now owns 615

acres of very desirable land, well improved.  He has given his children

good educational advantages, and has done much to aid educational and

religious institutions.  He is conservative in politics, and his wife is a

member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.  In 1861 he enlisted in

Company B, Forty-fourth Tennessee Infantry, and was at Shiloh, Chickamauga,

Perryville, Murfreesboro and many minor engagements.  He was wounded at

Shiloh and gave up active duties for about three months.  He was captured

at Murfreesboro, and held a prisoner at Camp Douglas, Chicago, for about

four months.  He returned home in May, 1865.
