Son of Ovid Jefferson Stone and Edith A. Crist.
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.
