                               Early Settlement

         HENRY STONE lives upon section 1, of Bear Grove township, where he
      located in May, 1868, purchasing then a farm of eighty acres, to
      which he has since added another eighty acres, and now owns a fine
      farm of one hundred and sixty acres. MR. STONE was born in Litchfield
      county, Connecticut, June 16, 1818. He was reared upon a farm and has
      always followed farming. He was married, February 22, 1846, to SARAH
      A. TRACY, also a native of Litchfield county, born July 31, 1819. In
      1853, they emigrated to Henderson county, Illinois, and worked
      rented lands until 1867. In that year they removed to Cass county,
      and settled in Bear Grove the following year, as before stated. They
      have had three children — SAMUEL C., born in Connecticut, January
      23, 1847; LESTER W., also born in Connecticut, February 7, 1850; and
      EVA C., born in Illinois, September 27, 1587.  EVA C. died in April,
      1864.
