SAMUEL STONE 
	Samuel Stone is one of the prosperous farmers of Stevens county 
located about ten miles north from Marcus,where he has a fine estate of 
four hundred acres,one hundred and forty of which are under cultivation. He 
has wrought faithfully here for more than a decade and deserves mention 
among the leading citizens of the valley.
	Samuel Stone was born in Centre county,Pennsylvania,on November 5,
1849,the son of William and Elizabeth (Bowes) Stone,natives of Pennsylvania. 
They were the parents of seven children. The father was manager of the 
Kerton iron works and upon the outbreak of the Rebellion enlisted in the 
Forth-fifth Pennsylvania and was killed in the battle of Antietam. The 
mother remained on the homestead until her death. Our subject was educated 
in the public schools of his state and when fifteen enlisted in the One 
Hundred and FORTY-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers,Company H, and served 
seventeen months until the war closed. He fought in the battles of 
Wilderness,Cold Harbor,Spottsylvania,North Ann,Poe River,Deep Bottom and 
other small ones. He was present at the surrender of the southern troops 
under Lee and also participated in the grand review in Washington. He 
finally mustered out on July 9,1865, and returned to the duties of private 
life. In 1873,Mr.Stone was handling an eight mule freight team into the 
Black Hills and followed it until 1879,when he journeyed to Texas,whence in 
1890, he came to Stevens county. For two years he prospected and then 
selected his present estate and secured title partly by government rights 
and partly by purchase. Since that time he has devoted himself to general 
farming and stock raising and is prosperous and well to do.
	In 1892,Mr.Stone married Miss Julia A. Paul. They settled on their 
farm and have since shown themselves to be substantial and respected 
citizens. To them, three children have been born,two of whom are still 
living,as follows: Albert and Herman. Mr.and Mrs.Stone are devout members 
of the Catholic church and are stanch supporters of their faith. Mr.Stone
