LOSING AN EXCELLENT FAMILY
Ex-Counclman w. S. Stone Will Move
to East Brady This Week.

to East Brady This Week
The moving of p. II. II. machine shop
from Reynoldsville to East Brady has
made it necessary for three or four ex-
cellent families to move away from
Reynoldsvile. This week Mr.. and Mrs.
w. s. Stone and daughter, Miss Flor
ence, will move TO East Brady. After
residing here almost fourteen years
they move from our midst leaving a
host Of warm and admiring friends who
are sorry to see them move. They are
cultured, refined and sociable, just such
people that any town would extend a
ing the fact that Mr. Stone has been ac-
tive in municipal and church affairs
during his residence in this town, we
feel it is not out of place to give brief
sketch Of his life.
William Sims Stone was born in the
City of Derby, England, in 1917. His
father was a surgeon, Il graduate and
Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons,
London. In selecting profession for
his life's work, Mr.. Stone chose the
mechanical profession, and at the age
of 30 years he had charge of erecting
new locomotives for the London, Chat
ham e. Dover R'y in London. In 1885
Mr.. Stone came to America and located
at Pittsburg. In 1886 he was appointed
foreman of the A. V. R'y shops at Yer
ona. In September, 1887, he was trans
ferred to Reynoldsville, where he has
resided until the present time.
Politically Mr.. Stone is Republican
and religiously Baptist. He is active
in both. In 1897 he was elected u men,
Der OF the town council and served two
years as president OF the council.
While holding the thankless and unap-
preciated position as councilman he de-
liberated carefully and was conscien-
tious in transacting the borough's busi-
ness.
There are few men engaged in secular
work that are as active in religious mat
ters as Mr.. Stone is. He has been sup
erintendent OF the Baptist Sunday school
for a number OF years and is an excep-
tionally good superintendent. Our Bap-
tist friends will miss him, not only in
the Sunday school, but also IN church
work.
In 1873 Mr.. Stone was licensed to
preach by Baptist church in England.
In April OF last year the Baptish church
at this place, without his request, re-
newed his license. Sunday evening Mr..
Stone preached his farewell sermon in
the Baptist church from this text:
Behold l have craven thee on the
palms Of my hands"
Sunday morning the Baptist Sunday
school presented Mr.. Stone with fine
A. j. Holman bible, which contains
both the authorized and Revised Ver-
sion. Rev. A. ]. Meek made the pre-
sentation speech. This was but a small
token of the schools appreciation of the
work done by Mr.. Stone as superintend-
ent Of the school.
A number OF Mr. Stones friends gave
him a surprise party Monday evening.
1t was complete surprise to him. Mr..
and Mrs. Stone were each presented
with handsome rocking chair. Rev.
Meek, in behalf of the friends, presented
the chairs. Mr.. Stone responded to
| the presentation speech. Several
hours were pleasantly spent in listening
| to vocal and instrumental music and
having a social time in general.
