Cora Stone
Buncombe, Ill., Nov. 19, 1916
Mrs.
Cora Stone, wife of Raleigh Stone, of Buncombe, was born July 31, 1880,
and died November 15, 1916. She was therefore 36 years, 3 months and 14
days of age. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel
Peterson of this place.
Mr.
and Mrs. Stone were married September 1, 1902. Mrs. Stone leaves behind
her two sons, Ralph and Ray, and two daughters, Maude and Margaret, the
latter an infant of only four or five weeks.
Besides her children and husband she leaves three brothers, Bundy and
Hobart away from home at work, and Charles at home, and five sisters:
Mrs. Flavia Stone, of Buncombe; Mrs. Mable Hamilton, of Cairo; Mrs. Oma
Davis, of St. Louis; Mrs. Edna Knots, of Cairo, and Ruby at home.
For
the last eighteen years Mrs. Stone has been a member of the Baptist
church at Mt. Zion.
Mrs.
Stone has lived among us all her life and has been one of those
industrious women which every neighborhood so much needs. She was
faithful to her husband and children, bringing the latter up under
careful supervision while her husband was away most of the time in
pursuit of his trade, that of carpenter.
We,
the neighbors and friends of this bereaved family share their sorrow and
at the same time extent to its members our deepest sympathy. Most of us
have had similar sorrows and we have had no consolation except that
which is to be found in Him who gave his life that we might have a
chance to live. May the choicest blessings now rest upon each member of
the above family, and may their lives be so adjusted and so used in this
world that they may have the assurance of a reunited family in the world
to come.
A
Friend
We the undersigned desire to express our greatest appreciation and love for our dearest neighbors and friends for their kind remembrance and attention through the sickness and final death of our dear wife and mother Raleigh Stone and Children.
