Many admirers in this community of
Hon. Charles w. Stone will regret to
learn of his serious illness at his home in
Warren. Much alarm is felt by his fam
lily and friends as to the outcome. The
Warren papers of Monday evening report
that "Governor Stone has been i'll for
more than week and a specialist from
Buffalo has been called in consultation
with the family physician. The opinion
is that the trouble is general physical
breakdown, coupled with mental worry.
He has been an industrious worker with
large responsibilities in many lines of
business in addition to his law business,
and this for the past few months has
proven too great strain"
