Stone, who died in 1889 and left her with four children, two girls and two boys. She died December 18, 1893. She professed religion in August, 1888, at a meeting held under what is known as the Mission Oak, City of Tyler, Texas, Rev. Lacy Boone, preacher in charge. There were two sisters, twins, Stone and Harris, gave their hands for prayer, and both professed religion and joined the M. E. Church, baptized and had their children baptized. They were born into the world same time, likewise into the kingdom of God. Perhaps there never were two persons more devoted to each other than Sister Stone and Harris. She lived right; therefore she died right. She said to Sister Harris, "All is well; grieve not for me; we will meet again." She called her children and kissed them, and said, "Meet me in heaven." Sister Harris says were it not for her consistent life and triumphant death, she could not be reconciled to give her up. TYLER, TEXAS. W. N. BONNER.
