Major Ringold C. Stone, a Pioneer of Fifty-Six Years, Died in Lewiston Hospital Monday night
The ranks of pioneers of Asotin county were lessened by the passing of Major Ringold C. Stone, aged 74 years and six months, in White's hospital in Lewiston, Monday evening at about nine o'clock, where he had been receiving treatment in the neighborhood of two weeks. Mr. Stone had been in poor health for the past year or two having been afficted with some sort of organic heart trouble, from which he would temporarily recover for a time, only to have the attack renewed at a later period.
Ringold C. Stone, one of the best known pioneers of Asotin county, having resided here for more than fifty-six years, was born in Appanoose Co., Iowa, on April 22, 1861, where the first twelve years of his life were spent. In 1873, with his parents and family, he moved west to the Williamette valley in Oregon, in the vicinity of Corvalis, where residence was continued six years. Then in 1879, he came to Montgomery ridge, Asotin county--through at the time, Asotin county was a part of Columbia county. He homesteaded on public land, and from time added to he farm
holdings, until he had one of the largest and best farms in that part of the county. These lands he diligently farmed for thirty years, and then leaving the same in charge of members of his family, moved to Asotin about twenty-five years ago, where he made his place of residence the remainder of his life.
On the fourth day of July, 1885, in Lewiston, the subject of this sketch was united in marriage to Miss Kate McMillan, a daughter of another well known pioneer family. Mrs. Stone died in December of 1927.
To this union eight children were born, six daughters and two sons. Of the children all survive, save one daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Hostetler, who died in August of 1934. Those surviving are: Cress and Jake Stone, Montgomery ridge; Mrs. Winnie Talbott, Montgomery ride; Mrs. Iva McGee, Lewison Orchards; Mrs. Adelia Jones, Clarksion Heights; Mrs. Melva Brumpton, Yakima; and Mrs. Ester Anderson, Asotin. Besides his own immediate fality, he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. William Appleford, Lewiston; and Mrs. O. E. Bond, Deep River, Washington.
Major Stone was one of those hopitable pioneers who was jovial at all times, a person who loved to meet his friends, and when possible, do them a good turn. He was held in high esteem by everyone, and his passing will be regretted by all who knew him.
Some few years ago, the deceased served Asotin county as county comissioner for one or two terms.
Funeral was conducted this Thursday forenoon at 10:30 o'clock, in Merchant's chapel in Asotin, the funeral being preached by Rev. Hedley A. Vicker, and interment was made in the Vineland cemetery.
