BRIEF ILLNESS CAUSES DEATH OF PRINCIPAL. Linlawn High School was plunged into mourning Wednesday at the sudden death the night before of its principal, Paul D. Stone, 52, who was serving his nineteenth year as head of the institution. The Linlawn School will remain closed Friday, the date set for the funeral.

Dr. Stone, as he often was called, suffered a stroke about two years ago, but sufficiently recovered afterward to resume his educational endeavors. Members of the family reported that the cause of death had not officially be determined.

Mr. Stone was born April 7, 1880, south of Roann, the son of Frank Stone and Jessie (McCoy) Stone, and was a life resident of Wabash County. He was married April 26, 1911, at Urbana to Hazel Amber. His college training was obtained at the State Normal School in Terre Haute and Manchester College, from which he received his degree.He served as a member of the Central High School faculty, North Manchester, before accepting the principalship of Linlawn. During the generation that he headed Linlawn, Dr. Stone supervised the school in a kindly and efficient manner and was highly respected by all who knew him.

In addition to his busy life as an educator, Dr. Stone also found time to serve the Lord in the capacity of minister of the Roann and Silver Creek Christian churches. He relinquished his preaching, however, after his illness several years ago. Dr. Stone also formerly acted as a field worker for Manchester
College.

The body was to be returned to the family residence at 583 Columbus Street from the Hoover Funeral Home at 1:00 PM Wednesday afternoon.Funeral services will be conducted in the Christian Church, of which he was a faithful member and where he served as an elder for a number of years, at 10:30 AM Friday morning with Rev.
