Married Ovid Jefferson Stone on 20 September 1884 in Marion, Indiana. They were the parents of two children, Mary b. 1885 and Paul G. b.1888 who were also killed in the accident.
Marion, Ind., May 31. -- Two women and two children were killed near the eastern limits of the city, where the Panhandle track crosses the Jonesboro pike. The Chicago, St. Louis and Pittsburgh express, west-bound, running fully fifty miles an hour, collided with a buggy and killed Mrs. O.J. Stone and her two children and Mrs. Poe Wimmer. The horse was killed and thrown a hundred feet. The engine struck the vehicle so squarely that it was caught upon the pilot and carried a quarter of a mile. When the train stopped, Mrs. Stone was still in the buggy. Her neck was broken and her body was terribly mutilated.
