Captain W. W. Stone is Laid to Rest Thursday
While a host of saddened relatives and friends bowed in loving tribute, all that was mortal of Captain W. W. Stone was laid to rest beneath the sod this afternoon at 2:30 in Greenwood cemetery with Dr. J. N. Faulconer, pastor of the First Christian church, saying the last sad rites at the graveside.
Many beautiful floral tributes and words of reverential praise were offered in memory of the man who served his state, his family and his God with such distinction for 90 years. Dr. Faulconer was eloquent in recounting the many good qualities of the departed scholar, statesman and soldier. Picturing the life of this grand old man as exemplary of all that is high and noble in life, Dr. Faulconer painted a word picture that touched the heartstrings.
Officers of the First Christian church served as active pall bearers at the funeral. The body of the famous Mississippian arrived in Jackson yesterday afternoon from Greenville. The hero of many campaigns died at the Greenville hospital Wednesday afternoon at 6:30 o'clock, following an accident several days ago when the aged veteran fell and fractured his hip while leaving the school building at Greenville where he attended the commencement exercises.
Captain Stone had a host of friends in Jackson, many of whom gathered at the graveside yesterday afternoon to pay tribute to the beloved gentleman. Captain Stone had spent many years of his life in Jackson. He served four years as auditor of public accounts, and held many other public positions of trust.
Captain Stone led a very useful and active life. He was born in Columbia, Missouri, and was educated at the state university there, later becoming an instructor in the university. He and his father both were southern sympathizers and when the clash between the states broke out both went to the side of the Confederates. His war record reads like a novel. He was a courageous fighter, and an excellent strategist, which won him the rank of captain. After the war Captain Stone settled in Greenville, where he engaged in planting and merchandising pursuits. His last years were lived in retirement.
Captain Stone is survived by one son, Alf H. Stone, Dunleith, and four daughters, Mrs. E. B. Odeneal, Gulfport; Mrs. E. H. Foltz, Leland; Miss Aimee Stone, Gulfport, and Mrs. J. F. Robinson, Jackson.
