Rites Held for
Former Grimes
County Resident
News was received in the city
urday of the death of Will Stone, 65,
former Grimes Countlan who passed
away at his home in Marianna, Flor-
ida, early that morning,
Mr. Stone, who was born and reared
in Anderson, hud been in ill health for
several years, and a recent fall at his
home hastened his death. His sister,
Mrs. James P. DeSausstire of Mont-
clair, N. J„ rushed to his bedside
when she learned of his critical con-
dition.
Funeral services were held at the
Episcopal Church in Marianna, Florida.
Mr. Stone was the son of Mtejor and
Mary Stone, the latter being the
daughter of Henry Fanthorp, who
built the fnmotfs Frantborp Hotel still
standing in Anderson.
He is survived by his wife. th«| for-
mer Miss Howze Milton of Florida;
his sister, Mrs. DeSaussure; and two
nieces, Mrs. W. L. Garber of Mont-
clair, N. J., and Mrs. J. N. Ratcliff
of this city.
Mr. Stone was owner of a farm in
Florida which was named Rock Cave
Farm. Of coincidence and wide at-
tention in Florida several years ago
was the actual discovery of a cave
on this farm. Mr. Stone and one of
the workers oh the place were walking
on the farm ground when a rattlesnake
sprang from a hole. They killed the
snake and upon observing the hole
they found a huge cave below the
ground. Many people have visited the
cave, entering It through the use of
a ladder.
