Henry X. Stoner, a well-known Waynesboro resident, died this morning at 11 o'clock a.m. at his home, 28 East Third street aged 64 years, 9 months and 23 days.

Later he moved to Nunnery where he engaged in fruit growing.
Fifteen years ago he came back to Waynesboro and for three years engaged in the livery and ice business. For the past twelve years he had been employed as a woodworker in the wood department of the Geiser shops.
He was a member of the Church of the Brethren, having joined the church forty-seven years ago.
Mr. Stoner was a man of the highest rectitude and was esteemed by all who knew him for his good qualities and for his kindliness of manner and his helpfulness of disposition.
He is survived by his widow and these children: Mrs. H. R. Smith, West Fourth street; John B. Stoner, Mullies Hill, N. J., and Joseph Stoner, at home.
He is survived, also, by one sister, Mrs. Daniel Benedict, Pigeon Hill, Quincy township, and one brother, David A. Stoner, south of town.
