      Elias Stone, deceased, who was a farmer and stock 
grower, was born in Greensboro, Greene County, Penna, 
September 22, 1808. He was a son of James Stone and Nancy 
Sedgewick Stone, who were natives of Greene County, and 
descended from its earliest settlers. The history of the 
family on both sides shows them to have been farmers usually 
and of Irish descent. Mr Stone was second in a family of 
eight children. He was reared in Monongahela Township, this 
county, where he attended the subscription schools. He 
devoted his business life to farming and the growing of fine 
stock.
  
      In 1833 he married Mary Huston, daughter of Samuel 
Huston and Nancy Lackey Huston. Her parents were natives of 
Pennsylvania and of Irish descent. Mr and Mrs Stone were the 
parents of three children: Lizzie Stone; Nan Stone; and 
Fannie Stone. Their mother died in 1843. Mr Stone was a 
Republican in politics and a member of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church. He was twice married and his widow and two 
children: Frank Stone and Amanda Stone, survive him. He died 
in 1872.
