Bowen & Company, Indianapolis, IN] [webpage: http://www.rootsweb.com/~iafayett/fstonb.htm] William Henry STONE One of the oldest, most honored and influential families in Fayette county is that represented by W. H. STONE, a leading citizen of Waucoma and a man who has long enjoyed distinctive prestige in the business world, ready at all times to do his full share in furthering movements calculated to advance the general welfare of his community and county. He was born at Warrensburg, Warren County, New York, May 29, 1852. In 1860, when eight years of age, he came to Iowa with his parents, Oliver and Mary E. (BONESTEEL) STONE, also natives of New York, who settled four miles southeast of Waucoma, Eden township, Fayette County, Iowa, on the wild prairie, where they remained until eight years before the father's death, which occurred at Waucoma, where he spent the last years of his life, dying in 1899 at the age of seventy-six years; his widow survived until 1906, dying at the same age. When the family came here they found a sparsely settled country which abounded in wild animals and frequently bands of Indians passed through. It was necessary for the family to do much of their trading at McGregor, fifty miles distant, this being the nearest shipping point for years, consequently, much livestock was driven there and grain was hauled to that market. Mr. Stone paid five dollars per acre for his first eighty. He was a good manager and prospered and added to his original purchase, until he owned two hundred acres. His son, Gerald O., is now occupying the old homestead. He was a well known and influential man in those early days and highly respected by his neighbors. He was a Democrat and held several local offices, and he belonged to the Methodist Episcopal church. Four children, two sons and two daughters, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Stone, namely: Juliette, the wife of H. A. BENDER, of Fayette, Iowa; W. H., of this review; Jannette, wife of M. S. ADAMS, of Waucoma, Eden township; Gerald O., who lives on the home place. W. H. Stone remained on the home farm until he was twenty-one years old. He received an excellent education in the common schools and in the Upper Iowa University, where he spent two terms. When only eighteen years of age he began teaching, which he continued during several winters. He spent two and one-half years, from 1873 to 1875, in Montana, prospecting for gold. He was in the present great city of Butte when there were but thirty men there. In 1875 he started a hardware store in Waucoma which he conducted for two years, then spent one year on a farm, then entered the dry goods store of his father-in-law, with whom he remained. He was for some time cashier of the S. B. Ziegler Community Bank at Waucoma. He has been very successful in whatever he has undertaken and he is now the owner of over one thousand acres of excellent land in this locality, which he rents. He devotes most of his attention to the bank, having been connected with the same for a period of twenty-eight years. About twelve years ago, in company with his nephew, he started the First State Bank of Glenville, Minnesota, in which he still has an interest. In company with his brother-in-law, C. A. MOODY, he started the First State Bank of Fountain, Minnesota, in which he is also still interested, and he is a stockholder in other banks. Mr. Stone was married in 1879 to Hattie M. MOODY, a lady of culture and education and the representative of a prominent old family. This union has resulted in the birth of the following children: Leo C.; L. Oliver, who is in the bank at Mason City, Iowa; Ruby Cornelia was a student in the Upper Iowa University at Fayette, but is now at Los Angeles, California; two died in infancy. In all his relations with his fellow men the conduct of Mr. Stone has been above reproach . . . . . . .The Bank of Waucoma, the private bank of W. H. Stone, was established in 1882 by S. B. Ziegler & Company under the same name, with W. H. Stone as cashier, who remained in this capacity for a period of five years when he purchased the institution and has since conducted it as a private bank, giving it his personal management. It is well equipped with safety deposit vaults and all modern fixtures, and is well patronized by the citizens of northwestern Fayette county. Mr. Stone's son, Leo C. Stone, is the present efficient cashier." [Received from Earl H. Antes] W. H. Stone Dies at Waucoma WAUCOMA -- Funeral service for W. H. Stone, 96, who died Sunday morning after a lingering illness, was conducted at 2 p. m. Tuesday at the home, with Rev. Sterling J. Baldwin, West Union, and Rev. Walter Ladley, Fayette, in charge. Casketbearers were Ralph and Jack Adams, Gerald Richards, Bruce Moser, John and Freeman Adams, all six being great grand nephews of Mr. Stone. Burial was in the Waucoma cemetery. William Henry Stone, son of Oliver Stone and Mary Bonesteel Stone, was born at Warrensburg, N. Y., on May 29, 1852, and died in his home at Waucoma, Jan. 16, after an illness of two years. He was 96 years, seven months and 18 days old. Mr. Stone came to Iowa with his parents in 1860, at the age of eight years, crossing the river at McGregor and driving by team from there to Eden, in Fayette county. There, the family home was set up on a farm about four miles southeast of Waucoma. The original house built by Oliver Stone is still standing on the farm now occupied by M. A. Moser and wife. The family of four children grew up in this neighborhood and all of them lived in Fayette county the remainder of their lives. Mr. Stone, the second child in this family, was the last survivor. Mr. Stone was educated in the public school at Eden, and studied two terms at upper Iowa university where he roomed with the late Senator Newberry, of Strawberry Point. Beginning at the age of 18, he taught school several terms at Eden. In 1873, he went to Butte, Mont., which and had a population of 30 people. He spent two and one-half years prospecting for gold. Mr. Stone married Hattie M. Moody on May 29, 1879. To them were born five children: Leo C. Stone, Waucoma; L. Oliver Stone, Jacksonville, Fla.; Ruby C. Antes, West Union, and two children, who died in infancy. Mrs. Stone died May 25, 1914. On Dec. 10, 1916, Mr. Stone was married to Norma J. Searles who died July 2, 1939. In addition to his three children, Mr. Stone was survived by five grandsons: Alden G. Stone, Wilmington, Del.; William O. Stone, Mobile, Ala.; Charles W. Antes, West Union; Dr. Earl H. Antes, Evansville, Ind., and Richard S. Antes, West Union. He also is survived by seven great grandchildren. After his marriage, Mr. Stone engaged in farming for a short time. Then moved to Waucoma and operated a hardware store for two years and for a time was a partner in a dry goods store. In 1882, he opened the Bank of Waucoma, which he owned and operated for 49 years. He also acquired extensive farming property and managed the same for many years. For approximately 30 years, he was treasurer of the Fayette County Mutual Fire Insurance association and for about the same period he served on the Waucoma School board, and as superintendent of the Sunday school of the Congregational church at Waucoma. |
