John F. Stone

Was one of the first settlers of Augusta, in Eau Claire county. He
erected a saw and grist mill at that point on Bridge creek in 1856. 
As one of the proprietors of the village, he pursued a very liberal
policy and afforded assistance to a great number of farmers of feeble
means, as one after another located in the fertile valleys around
him, and upon these, and all others who have made homes in the
village and surrounding country, to a certain extent stamped the
impress of his own unsullied character, so that Augusta has ever been
noted for its moral, religious, and social advancement.

Mr. Stone's religious convictions accord with those of the Baptist
church, of which he is an exemplary member.
