Also sometimes known as Lizzie S. Stone (1861) and Eliza S. Janes (1865). She signed her will S. Elizabeth Janes (1913).
Only surviving daughter of Oren Stone and Joanna (Turner) STONE.
Early censuses (1840, 1850, 1855, 1865) indicate she was born circa 1837-1838--probably in Savoy, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, where her family lived during the years 1827 to 1846. She was about eight years old when her mother and nearby grandmother both died within months of each other in 1846. She and her siblings were subsequently scattered.
It seems she appeared twice in the 1850 census: first in July in Easthampton, about 35 miles from Savoy (an Elizabeth Stone, age 12, is living among seven young girls and boys, all students apparently living in a boarding house run by the widow Almira B. Caldwellm near a large livery stable run by Luther Clapp, his wife and eight young children)--and then in September in Leicester, about 90 miles from Savoy (an Elizabeth Stone, age 13, living in what appears to be a boarding house run by Eliza and Cynthia Clapp, near the Leicester Hotel). In the 1855 census an Elizabeth Stone, age 18, is living in a household full of young women, no occupations listed, in a section of Lee, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, filled with Irish quarrymen, laborers, papermakers, merchants, a lawyer, an innkeeper, a hostler, and a "Gentleman." She cannot be found in the 1860 census.
On 4 July 1861 she was married to farmer Charles Austin Janes in his hometown of Brimfield, Massachusetts. She gave her residence at that time as Lee. Subsequent censuses, her death certificate, and tombstone would indicate a birthyear of 1841 and a birthplace of Peru, Massachusetts (longtime home of her brother, Ward Stone).
She and her husband had no children. They lived for 10 years in Holland, Massachusetts where Charles farmed, and then lived for 33 years in Worcester, Massachusetts (140 Beacon Street, 1880 census; 29 Abbott Street, 1900 census). Their final home was on Cottage Street in West Brookfield, Massachusetts, where they moved in 1905 and where Charles died in December 1908. Lizzie remained in West Brookfield and died there, age 72 years, of heart trouble, 22 January 1914. She was buried in Brimfield Center Cemetery next to her husband.
In her will (signed in 1913) she left a wooded lot in Holland, Massachusetts to her husband's nephew, Lewis H. Janes of Worcester, all of her money in trust for the support of her brother Ward for the rest of his life, and all of her household goods and possessions (and whatever was left after Ward died) to Ward's daughter (her niece), Harriet Elizabeth "Lizzie" Stone MacDuff, whom she appointed Executor. Ward predeceased his sister by 19 days, and Lizzie Stone Janes was the last surviving sibling.
