IN MEMORIAM.

On the evening of the oath day of April,
A. D. 1879, all that was mortal of Carrie E.
Stone was borne to its last resting place in
the cemetery near Canyon Ferry, Meagher
county. Montana.
Mrs. Stone came to this territory in the
fall of 1865, with her husband, Alexander
Dunning, leaving home and friends in Ore
gon to seek health and fortune in our then
new mountain land. Unaccustomed to
drudgery or hard work Of any kind from
childhood, she found in her new home the
greatest task of her life, housekeeping in a
log cabin, but she entered into her new vo-
cation with all the zeal of the true woman
that she was. At the expiration OF two
wears they had accumulated a fair share of
this worlds goods, when she met with a
sad bereavement in the death of a little
daughter. Not having inherited a strong
constitution, though highly sensitive in Or
ganization, the shock almost took her to the
grave, but knowing that she had other loved
ones to live for and aid with her unerring
counsel, under the mlnistrations Of kind
friends and good neighbors she rapidly gain
ed strength enough to renew the strife with
tickle fortune. The greatest ambition of
ler life, las she often expressed in the pres
ence of the writer), was to realize means
enough to give her children as thorough an
education as they were susceptible of re-
ceiving, and to live long enough to teach
them to live upright and christian lives, as
she was taught to do by her generated
mother. But after a few years more she
lost her husband. Now the double duty of
housekeeping and attending to all the do
nestle affairs pertaining to her household
devolved upon her, which duty she per-
formed, assisted by her son Charles, with
the fortitude of a faithful and loving mother.
In the year 1874 she married Spencer 1r.
vine Stone, a gentleman of education and
culture. Since their marriage they had re-
sided near White Sulphur Springs, in this
county. .
