SARAH E STONE DEAD
Tuesday Morning, Dec 17, 1912, marked the passage from the living of Mrs.
Sarah E Stone of Cape Fair; a land mark in the History of Stone County.
She was 86 years old and had enjoyed exceptionally good health all her
life and was in the best of health until she fell while walking across
the floor, breaking her hip which was the cause of her death.
"Aunt Sarah" was born in Simpson Co, Ky, March 26,1826 and came to Missouri
in 1835 with her parents, and settled at the mouth of Flat Creek, where
her father started a powder mill, a grist mill and distillery, the only
industry; some hunting and fishing and Farming on a small scale, in all
this part of the state.....Cape Fair as the place was soon called became
the center of social life for a radius of fourty miles. Horse riding, racing,
shooting matches and all the kindred sports of the frontiersmen being indulged
in besides the couty "Hop" at which Miss Sarah Williams was always among
the foremost.
One December 18, 1841 she was married to John H Stone. Their debut in houskeeping
was made in a rail pen under Virgin Bluff two miles south of Cape Fair,
where the young bride of 16 spent weeks alone while her husband journeyed
to Linn Creek, Missouri for supplies, principally salt.
In later life, it was a pleasure to "Aunt Sarah" to relate the circomstances
of her early years, how she built brush fires around her cabin at night
to frighten the wild animals away, and how she provided the table with
meat from her turkey pen, a contraption by which wild turkeys were captured;
of how she mounted her hourse and rode to Forsyth, fourty miles away, the
then County Seat, to pay her taxes while her husband was looking after
the farm work, of how she carded, spun and wove the cloth that dressed
herself and family, and of the hardships endured by the family during the
War, when the Father and two sons were away in the Army.
Mrs Stone was the mother of twelve children, six of whom are still living.
They are W.T. Stone; E. B. Stone; and George L. Stone; all of Cape Fair,;
Mrs Telitha King of Hinton Oklahoma; Mrs Almeda Carney of Cape Fair; and
Mrs Sarah R Carney of Flat Creek. Her descendants are numbered by
hundred, and run into sixth generations. She was a half sister of Enoch
Williams of Sholton, who is the father of a large family and is related
either by blood or marriage to the majerity of this vacinity.
Stone County recieved it's name from the Father-in-law of Sarah E, he having
been the first Representative from the County.
She was buried in the Marsh Spring Cemetery near Cape Fair. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. James Allman of Crane.
"This was taken from the Crane Cronicle. Frank Carney was exitor and grandson
of the deceased"
