The Cumberland Presbyterian Church will mourn the death of Rev. J. Wood Stone, which occurred at Bowling Green, Ky., July 4, 1904, after an illness of many months. Brother Stone's clean, pious life, his fearless advocacy of what he conceived to be right, and his high order of talent won for him a coveted place in the hearts of his brethren. He has held pastoral charges in Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, California, Colorado and Oregon. He was fifty-three years of age and a native of Texas, and leaves a mother and several brothers and sisters in that state. He is survived also by a wife and two children. His funeral took place on Wednesday, the 5th, at the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Bowling Green, being conducted by J. S. Grider, D.D., of Smith's Grove, Ky.
