STONE, GLAZE, SHERRELL Dr. B. S. STONE, a physician of Dellrose, was born in Giles County, Tenn., June 15, 1849, and was a son of Thomas J. STONE, and a grandson of Thomas C. STONE, and a great-grandson of Joshua STONE. Thomas J., the father of our subject, was born August 7, 1806, and went to Giles County with his parents in 1812, locating at Pulaski. He was married in 1839, and was a farmer by occupation. His death occurred April 17, 1874. The Doctor's mother was born in Giles County in 1816, and died in 1849. Our subject received a good literary education at Bethany and Elkton, Giles County. He then entered the office of Dr. A. L. GLAZE, a very prominent citizen and a brother-in-law of Mr. STONE, where he remained about twenty months. He then entered the medical department of the Vanderbilt University, where he graduated in 1875. Previous to this, December 24, 1874, he married Annie SHERRELL, a native of Lincoln County, born December, 1856, and by this union they became the parents of four children: Emmet R., Mary V., Joseph S. and Andrew A. After graduating Dr. STONE located in the Sixteenth District and began the practice of medicine. In 1881, for the purpose of getting a more central location to his practice and a pleasant place, he removed to Dellrose, and has recently built a fine residence on an excellent farm of 300 acres. He has a large practice, and is entirely devoted to his professional duties. He has had flattering success in all treatments of patients, and is a man well known and much esteemed throughout the county. He is independent in political belief, and he and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
