DEATH OF A PIONEER
James S. Stone Expires at His Home Near Charlotte
James STODDARD STONE died yesterday at his home near Charlotte, age 81 years.
He was the first white child born within the present limits of Monroe county,
having been born May 10, 1810, near what is now Brighton village and which was
then in Ontario county, the Genesee river at that time dividing Ontario and
Genesee counties and Monroe county not being in existence. His father Enos STONE,
removed from Lenox, Berkshire county, Mass., to the "Genesee country"
shortly before the son's birth, and built the first frame
house on the east bank of the river within the present limits of the city
of Rochester. It was while the family were visiting at the residence of a brother
of the elder stone on which is now called Glover street in the town of Brighton,
that the child was born. For fifty-five years Mrs. Stone had lived on the homestead
where he died. Mr. Stone was about the farm as usual until Wednesday last, when
he was stricken with paralysis. He survived his wife twenty years. Of their
six children three sons, William, Enos and Martin O. and one daughter Miss Louise
survive. The funeral will take place from his late residence at 2 o'clock to-morrow
afternoon. Mr. Stone's death leaves Mortimer F. REYNOLDS the oldest white child
born in the present limits of Monroe county.
