| Biographical sketch |
- James Fitzgerald Stone was a wealthy planter, owned a beautiful home on Dan River about two miles from Danville, Va., a good acreage of land with slaves. It was said of the two brothers, James F. and John T., that they possessed a great deal of Irish wit, so much so that they were invited out evenings at socials and weddings for many miles around to give the toasts. They were not remarkable for beauty of features, but reigned supremely in their family nobility and beauty of soul. No better, truer class is found than the honest Stone blood.
James F. Stone, on one occasion, was riding along in Arkansas, when a stranger accosted him saying, "Mister, I have a piece of property belonging to you." "0,
no," said Uncle Jim, "I am a stranger, I have nothing here." "But," said the stranger, "you are entitled to it. It was given me because I was supposed to be the homliest man in the world, but you have won the prize," and handing him a pocket knife, which he took very good naturedly, with a twinkle in the eye and putting it in his pocket said, "I will give it to my brother, John."
