Laban M. Stone
Laban M. Stone was born to Wilksen/William C. Stone and Sarah A. Sanders in July of 1857 in Courtois, Crawford County, Missouri, near the Osage Post Office. Wilksen was a farmer, and Sarah kept the household for her husband and children, James M. born about 1844, Margaret E. born about 1847, Joseph born about 1854, Laban M., born 1857, and Martha born about 1866. It is unknown when Laban’s parents died, but they disappeared after the 1870 census.
Laban married “Micca” Coleman January 24, 1879, in Crawford County, Missouri, at the home of the bride’s mother, by Rev. John M Ashlock, with James Sanders as one of the witnesses. (Mickey’s obituary would indicate January 16th, however the marriage record shows the 24th, date reported by Rev. Ashlock), and in December, the couple had a son, William.
Laban was a farmer, as his father before him. Then, in July of 1881, their daughter Annie was born, and in August of 1883, their daughter Ethel E. arrived.
The couple would have 4 known children: William Ellis, Ann Frances [Jackson], Ethel E. [Swett], and Burgett “Bert” Lee.
In 1885, Laban worked the crops on the old Stone place near Shoal Creek, with Isaac S. LaRue, who had married his wife’s sister, Nancy.
He was an able and dedicated, hard-working farmer. He was also active in the Republican party, serving on the Crawford County Republican convention as a representative for Courtois township.
For a while, the family moved to Texas, where, in 1891, Laban was the proprietor of the City Hotel in Honey Grove. He may even have tried mining while there. However, by 1900, he was in Cooper, of Delta County, Texas, where Laban was a machinist, his wife worked as a dressmaker, and his son, William, as a day laborer. They would not stay there long, as his job transferred him officially in 1907 to East St. Louis from Fort Worth, where he had been working for the Swift Packing Plant. As his wife’s mother, Mary, and some of her family had settled in St. Louis, Missouri, this was fortuitous. Their son Burgett “Bert” Lee was born there in St. Louis in 1902.
They were still there in 1910, Laban was working as an engineer in the refinery in East St. Louis, Illinois, but the family lived in south St. Louis, Missouri. Their daughter Ethel was working in sales in a department store, and Burgett was in school.
It seems as if they were always on the move, once they had left Crawford County. By 1920, the census shows them in Quapaw, Oklahoma, however, they were close to Baxter Springs, Kansas, and articles about them can be found there, as family came to and fro, visiting Laban and “Mickey”. Laban worked in the lead and zinc mines as an engineer in 1920, and his wife was caring for a 2 11/12 year old boy, Ellis Raymond Short. He was the son of Ellis Earl Short, and his wife Minnie Chitwood Short, who died the day after his birth as a result of complications of childbirth.
After the death of his wife, Laban lived with his son, “Bert” and his wife, and continued operating a filling station in Baxter Springs, which he had opened in 1925. He had a sense of humor, posting in one of his ads for the service station: “I will drain your crank case, fill your transmission, grease cups, alemite cups and radiator, wipe off your windshield, and post your mail. Now is there anything else I can do for you ladies, and men, also!”
He rested from his labors in 1938, following a bout with the flu and a lung infection, and is now buried beside his wife. (His death certificate was informed by his wife’s uncle, William Thomas Coleman, although the name on the informant is butchered as Wm Pollman.)
