OBITUARY - ANNA DEBARTHE STONE
Lamoni Chronicle, Lamoni, IA, Thurs, 6/21/1956, page 8
Anna DeBarthe Stone was born of William H. and Anna (Kindt) Brachman at Canton, S. D., Feb. 22, 1885, the sixth of eight children, of whom only the eldest was a son. The
family homesteaded near Brunswick, Neb.

After high school she attended normal school at Wayne university. She taught school 30 years at various times in Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, North Dakota and Montana.

In 1910 she was married to Don DeBarthe in Chicago and they homesteaded on Powder River, south of Arvada, Wyo. Four children were born to them, two sons and two daughters. Their home became a center for mail delivery and community communication. To the rigors of early homesteading life were added the hardships of almost total loss by flood, and again by fire.

Left alone with four small children, she returned to teaching in order to support and educate her brood. While teaching in Andes, Mont., she was baptized a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by Missionary L. O. Wildermuth. The three younger children were baptized with her, the elder son a few years later at Graceland college.

Being anxious for her children to have a college education, she moved to Lamoni in 1935 and operated an apartment house and filling station to provide their livelihood. Her daughters graduated from Lamoni high school. She attended Graceland college along with two of her children and a daughter-in-law. In 1941 she returned to teaching in Montana and South Dakota.

In November 1943 she married Everett Stone, a widower at Humeston, Iowa. After his death in November 1946 she returned to teaching and taught each year until the end of her retirement term in May, 1956. She entered the Independence sanitarium May 28 and died of cancer June 17, 1956.

All her children, children in-law, and grandchildren of membership age shared her faith and church membership. Her final testimony to her children was one of assurance for eternal life.

Of her parental family four sisters survive: Martha Stienhilber of Sheridan, Wyo.; Emma Browning of Orchard, Neb.; and Katherine Knoble and Carrie Brachman of Los Angeles, Calif.

Also surviving are her children; Joe N. DeBarthe and family of Lamoni; William H. DeBarthe and family of Independence, Mo.; Donian Hillman and family of Fairview, Mont.; and Gene Phillips and family of Independence, Mo. Her children and 15 grand. children bless her memory.
