Died:
"Died, at his residence in Calhoun County, on the 24th ult., Col. Henry D. Stone, in the 77th year of his age. Thus has gone another patriot of the Revolutionary War. Col. Stone was a native of Charleston, but for many years a citizen of Georgia, which state he served in various capacities, with honor to himself and benefit to his country. He was, for many years, an active and useful member of the convention which framed her constitution. He also served in her border wars with honor and gallantry after having at an early period of his life borne arms against an invading foe in the Revolutionary War. He has also served in the Legislative Council of Florida, of which body he was for a time president. Col. Stone was related to some of the most distinguished families both in Georgia and South Carolina; but his eulogy is not dependent upon any such adventitious circumstances, for he was emphatically a firm and uncompromising patriot, and an honest and upright man."
