General Notes: Husband - Dan H. Stone, Sr.
He was born in Connecticut in 1802, and came with his parents to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1812.
His father and grandfather were owners of steam vessels. The grandfather was captain on an ocean ship, the father, of Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio river steamers, and was at one time owner of an extensive steamboat line. He met with success in that business, but when in later life he left the water and embarked in other business enterprises, he did not succeed.
At one time he was principal owner of an extensive line of steamboats on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. In the latter part of his life he sold out his interest in the steam-boat line, bought land and embarked extensively in the sawmill business.
He was born in Derby, Connecticut, and was very young when his parents removed to Pennsylvania. During his younger days he assisted his father and was charged with many duties of a very responsible nature. When but eighteen years of age, he was sent on horseback to Columbus, Ohio, to collect a bill for his father, amounting to $2,000. His first day's work for himself was in assisting to pole a boat eighteen miles, working from sunrise to the first star of evening and then walking home,-his salary being fifty cents per day. Like his ancestors he was very fond of the water, and as this was one of the principal employments of the day, he followed it for many years. Later, in connection with his brothers, Stephen and Charles, he owned and operated several steamboats, which ran to Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Louisville, and New Orleans. They had the contract for carrying the United States mail, and this yielded them large profits. Mr. Stone was very successful and accumulated considerable wealth; before the [Civil] war he disposed of his interest in the business. Having inherited a portion of the old homestead in Marion township, he built saw mills and engaged very extensively in lumbering. His business was injured largely by the panic of 1873, and as he was of a generous nature, he gave assistance to others, which almost resulted in his financial ruin, and left him again a poor man. His health failed and he died. [BOBBC, 146]
