Joel LEFTWICH Stone is numbered among the farmers and ginners of Hubbard, and his home is on route 2, commanding a splendid view of the city. He became identifed with Hubbard and its interests in 1907, coming from Limestone County, but he was born in Taladigo County, Alabama, April 5. 1857, and was eighteen years of age when the family moved to St. Clair county, that state. They moved to Texas in August, 1899. and settled at Delia. The father was Joel L. Stone, born in Bedford county, Virginia, December 4, 1809, and he was a son of Micajah Stone, who died in Virginia at the age of forty-five. His family moved out of Virginia during the childhood of his son Joel and stopped near Fayetteville, Tennessee. His wife was before marriage a Miss Leftwich, and nine children were born to them, including Judge George W. Stone, for twenty-three years one of the supreme judges of Alabama; L. L. Stone, of Fayetteville, Tennessee, one of the successful business men of the state , and William Stone, a farmer and tanner, who afterward moved to Alabama. Three or four of the sons were in the Confederate army during the Civil war. ‘Joel L. Stone, Sr., was an invalid all his life, yet he was a farmer, slave owner and trader, and filled several offices, including that of a U. S. revenue collector. Finally he died in St. Clair County, Alabama, in December, 1877. He married Susan Zively at Fayetteville, Tennessee, and she died in St. Clair County on the 14th of September, 1896.

He was murdered by a burglar at Houston on December 19, 1900, a splendid career being thus untimely ended. Joel L. Stone Jr. spent his boyhood and youth on a farm and obtained 'his educational training in the rural schools, the war period of the sixties interfering with what might otherwise have proven a liberal training for him. He has always been identified with the vocation of his youth, farming and operating gins, flouring mills and other machinery. He was married in St. Clair County, Alabama, and brought his family to Texas when he was forty-two years of age. Locating at Delia in Limestone County he bought a gin and afterward a farm, and he is still interested in the gin with H. E. Kirkpatrick. In 1907 he came to Hubbard, and in company with Mr. Kirkpatrick erected a gin here, also buying a tract of fifty-two acres joining the city limits and known as the E. L. Condor place. His first year's work at ginning in Hubbard resulted in twelve hundred and seventy-five bales, his second year's work resulted in seven teen hundred and sixty bales, and in the year of 1909, known as the dry year, and on account of no water, only eleven hundred and fifty bales were ginned. His plant is of the Murray system and comprises four eighty-saw stands, with a capacity of forty bales a day. In December of 1877 Mr. Stone was married to Miss Alice N. Giles, an orphan girl, and the children of this union are: Minnie, who first married G. Estes and afterward his brother, W. P. Estes, and resides at Delia, Texas; Miss Mary Vista: Rosa Helen, wife of H. E.
