LENNON, MO, . |t ing from March 1, this year, ‘iaxka passing of one of.the oldest railroaders on the Consolidatéd system. Mr. Stone on Dec. 1 last completed nearly, 45 vears at railroading, six years at con- struction work and over 38 years in the passenger service, of which: 30 Yesrs he was a conductor. During these years he has lapored under many ‘presidents of the road and scores . of superintendents. = He has seen many young.rallroaders rise nz;m the ranks to high- pesitions. ; when talking Mr. Stone said: “I was always eontent -to be known as plain ‘Conductor Ed Stone’ I guess I was cut out for a farmer on a small scale That was my vocation when a boy. ‘Whenever I had the spare time when railroading I worked in ths small gar- den here at my home and looked after my chickens and a cow or two. Now that I am out of the raflroad buginess, 1_expect to, devote the remal - of my days to this business as a. pastime 50 as not to rust out. 7 Born in Rhade Island. Mr. Stone was born in Phoenix, R. L, . 28, 1845. He and a brother, Ar- were the only children of Mr. Asa Stone. When but‘two id Mr. Stone’s mother died and he was taken to live with his grand- father, also named Asa Stone, in Cov- v, R. I. When a small boy he went 1o live with his aunt, Miss Lydia’ Stone, his father’s sister, at South Coventry,! where he farmad it until he was neariy 21 years old. He then came to this city and hired out in the summer of 1866 as a teamster on the construction | work of the railroad line between Wil- | limantic and Putnam, the road ‘oemgj built by what was then known as the| Boston, Hartford and Erie railroad. This stretch of road, 25 miles, took 10 years to build, as the funds played ont on several occasions, and the confrac- tor, C. Manson, of Boston, was forced to suspend operations until such times as he could raise the money,to go ahead with the work. Before the contract- was completed Mr. Stone was promoted. to the position of foreman in charge of 40 -men. At that time a rafl- road ran 'through Willimantic from Hartford - to Providence and ' was known in those days as the Providence, Hartfora and Fishkill railroad. When, the line opened in 1872 from Willimantic ‘to° Putham,” which™ opened up travel direct from Hartford to- ton, although' over two systems, Stone twas assigned as brakeman on one of ‘the first passznger trains run. This he held for thiree weeks, and was th:n promoted to baggage master by Supt. H. G.~Pomeroy, which place he held until May, 1880. Became- Passenger. Conductor. In the meantime unera WX pértant rafizaad, ehanges:: The §ew York'and New Englan iroad cam- pany in the west end. of the, state 1oomed up. From: 1873 to 1876 this o ganization absorbed both the Boston, Hartford and Erie - and Providence, Boston and Fishkill . railreads, the ‘whale being ll;};wlrd known as the | ;{aw England. morning trfa, o’ Boston, ana ' Mlehael Crowley' of Boston, who has charge, o{ onle of the express trains betwéen ton and New York. G Many Improvnmonu. : The improvements in the ‘types - of| the rolling: stock "of the’ Fallroad’ has’ been noted by Mr. Stone. In the §0' and -2arly 70's“wood was used for fuel on engines, big piles of it being stacked close to the railroad stations along thé line. The engine cabs were* painted| ‘right colors with the names of fa- mous men of American history in- scribed on them. In Four Wrecks. Mr. Stone during his railroad career was in but four wrecks. The most no- table one was on the evening of Oct. 8, 1880, when his’ train, due at the 1ocal station at 8. 85, was run into by a westbound extra freight of 21 empty freight cars at what was then known as Safford’s bridge, two miles east of the local station. Five men were killed, Engineer Charles Kenyon and Fireman Michael Hurley of Conductor Stone's train’ and Engineer Walter Forsythe, Fireman Tihomas Flood and Conductor Henry Aldrich of the freight trai five others injured. The cause of the dent was the carelessness-of Con- ductor Aldrich in leaving the depot here before train No. 50 '(Conductor Stone’s - passenger train) had arrived, although he had becn notified by the telegraph operator that the passenger train was reported from Vernon as' being 25 minutes late. In an account of the disaster the fol- | lowing statement was made: “During this time the Boston and Washington express, which was due at 9.15, had ar- i rived at the local station” and departed on toward the scene, and but for tha heroism of the conductor of the luck- legs passenger train, Edward Stone, who had almost miraculously escaped from the wreck and run toward the station with_ his red light, this: train must needs have added its burden of humanity as party to the terrible dis- aster. The train returned to the depot and their suspicions and we might say knowledge~ was verified, Conductor Bdw. Stone was in tha bag- gage car at the time of the collision, counting his tickets. His presence of mind in _clambering out of. the wreck and wading the river for help was commended by everybodv as an act of heroism. K Married Danielson Girl. Mr. Stone married Mary E._Durkée of Danielson in 1873 at that place and for a time they kept house on Union street, and 35 years ago moved to their present home, No. 394 Pleasant strest. ‘Three children, all daughters, have been born to them, but omly one is living, Mrs. Charles H. Caswell, John- ston. avenue. The others ware Mrs. Robert H. Fenton, who died here a few years agq, and Mrs. Grace Platt of New ‘Haven, who -died here recently. Various Items.
