Rev. W. G. M. Stone was born in Rising Sun, Ind., September 24, 1832. He received a scientific education, studying at Oberlin, Ohio and Hillsdale, Mich. At the latter place, Mr. STONE began the study of theology, completing his studies there in the fall of 1860, after which he entered the ministry. His first charge was at Cheshire, Ohio, where he remained but one year. From there Mr. Stone removed to Vevay, Ind., where he remained until the winter of 1862-63. In June, 1861 he married Miss E. A. Van Duzen, of Racine, Wis. From Vevay, he was called to the pastorate of the Unitarian Society in Berlin, Wis., where he remained about ten years. Mr. Stone came to Denver in the fall of 1872 and engaged in the work of the ministry. To his efforts the establishment of the Unitarian Church upon a sound and permanent footing, is mainly due. While Pastor of this society, their neat and commodious house of worship was erected. In the spring of 1875, Mr. Stone engaged in the book and stationery business at Boulder, remaining there until May, 1879, when he purchased the stock of Richardson & Co., a firm doing business on Larimer Street, in this city and opened a book store under the firm name of Stone & Co. which is known as one of the most reliable business houses in Denver carrying a very full and complete stock in their line, which as the demands of the cultivated and reading people of Denver and the State require, is constantly increased.
