STONER PLACE In
new OIL FIELD

Mr.. and Mrs. Leon NJ. Stoner, whose
little acre and half suburban home is
located in the new Signal Hill oil dis
trict on the outskirts OF Long Beach,
Calf, have leased ttheir property to
the Temescal Oil Co., which is putting
down a well there. Mrs. Stoner was
formerly Miss Deitz. daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. H. C.. Deitz, of this city.
Her husband was formerly resident
of the Oak Grove district.
Romantic tales of riches that have
poured into the laps of residents Of the
Signal Hill district have been numer-
GUS, but none of them have surpassed
that of Mr.. and Mrs. Stoner. Accord
ing to letters to Mr.. and Mrs. Deitz,
the Stoners are moving their little
bungalow home. Steam from the ex-
haust pipes of derrick has been
blowing into the bedroom of the little
home. The new oil company also
wants the site of the home for storage
tanks. The Long Beach Daily Tele-
gram. in story on the good fortune
of the Stoners, says:
1.-THE Stoners haven't quite become
accustomed to their good fortune as
yet.
"Mr. Stoner is q painter by trade.
In March. 1921. he traded his house
and lot closer to the heart of the city
for his suburban half-acre, the deal
involving q total of $4,000. Today the
little tract is in the center of the new
ly proven oil district. A well. produc-
ing 1900 barrels day is but short
distance away.
''The Stoners' land is worth approx
imately 100000. and they are going to
move their little 81, 900 home. There
is a certain sentiment about a home
which all the riches in the world can
not take away. The sudden wealth
has not taken the sentiment out Of the
hearts of Mr.. and Mrs. Stoner. They
agree with Edgar A. Guest when he
wrote his famous poem, 1T takes a
heap o. living to make a house a
home.
