LODOWICK BRODIE STONE.
Lodowick Brodie Stone, a retired merchant and prominent farmer and stock
raiser residing at Fayetteville, was born April 23, 1859, in the house which is
still his home. He is a son of Stephen K. Stone, who was long one of the
prominent, honored and valued citizens of Arkansas. He was almost a nonagenarian
when death called him and had been a resident of Arkansas for nearly seventy
years. His birth occurred in Oxford, North Carolina, September 25, 1819. The
family is of English origin and was founded in America by Allen Stone,
grandfather of Stephen K. Stone. He died in early life, survived by his son,
Parker F. Stone, who was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1788. When about
fifty-seven years of age Parker F. Stone removed to Arkansas, settling on Lee's
creek, near Van Buren, where both he and his wife died. They were married in
1811, Mrs. Stone bearing the maiden name of Kindness Hicks. She was born in
Granville county, North Carolina, in 1793. Mr. and Mrs. Parker F. Stone became
parents of the following named: Dr. Robert Stone, who spent his life in Stewart
county, Tennessee; Harriet, who became the wife of Nathaniel Daniels and died in
Mississippi; Sillie, who married Thomas Word and died in Tennessee; Allen, whose
death occurred near Van Buren, Arkansas; Mary, who after becoming the widow of
James Phillips married a Mr. Miller and died in Tennessee; Stephen K.; and
Sophie, who married James Gatlin and departed this life in Tennessee.

The youthful training of Stephen K. Stone was that of the farm bred boy and
his education was obtained in the military school at Bingham, North Carolina.
When fifteen years of age he left home and started out to provide for his own
support by clerking in a store at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, while subsequently he
became bookkeeper in an auction store in New Orleans, Louisiana. He next
proceeded northward by way of the Mississippi as far as Vicksburg and there he
again was employed as a salesman and bookkeeper. The 11th of June, 1840,
witnessed his arrival in Fayetteville, Arkansas, at which time his cash capital
consisted of but four hundred and fifty dollars. Here he entered the employ of
others and in 1850 he established a family grocery store, to which he constantly
added other lines of goods until he was engaged in the sale not only of
groceries but of dry goods, hardware and implements, his original establishment
having thus been converted into a small department store. At one time ha retired
from active business but later joined a son in another venture, becoming a
partner of the firm of B. H. Stone & Company. He possessed marked ability as a
financier and displayed sound judgment in everything that he undertook. In order
to meet the demands of a constantly expanding business he erected buildings and
he also improved vacant property around the square as an investment, realizing
the growing importance of the county seat. From time to fine he made purchases
of property which constantly increased in value as the district became more
thickly settled.

Stephen K. Stone was married September 22, 1842, to Miss Amanda Malvina
Brodie, a daughter of Lodowick Brodie, who established his home near
Fayetteville in 1835. Mr. Brodie left Clarksville, Tennessee, with his family
and traveled by wagon to Arkansas in 1834, spending one year in Benton county.
He afterward engaged in general merchandising at Fayetteville from 1840 until
1842 and then took up the occupation of farming. Following the discovery of gold
in California he made his way to that state and spent two years upon the Pacific
coast, making the return trip by way of the Isthmus of Panama. While en route,
however, he became ill and died, being buried at sea. His daughter, Mrs. Stone,
was but twelve years of age when on horseback she accompanied her uncle and
aunt, Mr. and Mrs. James Brodie, to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where she attended
school, returning in the same manner in 1840.

The father of Mrs. Stone was Lodowick Brodie, who was born at Oxford, North
Carolina, September 22, 1800, a son of Dr. John Brodie, a native of Edinburgh,
Scotland, who was graduated in the University of Edinburgh and in young manhood
came to the United States. He wedded Mary Taylor, a cousin of Zachary Taylor,
who later became president of the United States. Dr. and Mrs. Brodie were
parents of the following named: Dr. John Brodie, Jr.; Thomas; Lewis; David;
Nancy, who became the wife of Dr. Kittrell; Mary; Dr. David; Lodowick;
Alexander; and James. Dr. Brodie, Sr., resided for many years in Montgomery
county, Tennessee, and there both he and his wife lie buried. Lodowick Brodie
was active in many ways. He built the first Methodist church in Fayetteville,
also the first schoolhouse in the town in 1835. This building afterward became
the first female academy west of the Mississippi river. The structure was a
brick building and was the first of the kind in the county, occupying the
present site of the Fayetteville high school. Lodowick Brodie was married twice.
In 1821 he wedded Miss Matilda Anthony, daughter of William B. and Susan
(McClain) Anthony, the latter a sister of Charles McClain, a soldier of General
Harrison's army in the battle of Tippecanoe, in which he captured an Indian
tomahawk that is now an heirloom in the family at Fort Smith. Lodowick and
Matilda Brodie became parents of the following named: Crispes, born in 1S22;
William, in 1823; Mrs. Stephen K. Stone, born October 15, 1825; and John, born
in 1827. After the death of his first wife Mr. Brodie wedded Miss Amanda Malvina
Anthony, a sister of bis former wife, and their children were as follows:
Prairie. Susan, Adelaide, Jane, Mary, Ella, James. Thomas, Albert and Lewis. The
grandfather of Mrs. Amanda M. Stone in the maternal line was William B. Anthony,
a gallant soldier of the War of 1812, who enlisted September 24, 1813, as a
private in Captain George Smith's company of spies. Dyer's regiment of mounted
gunmen, of the Tennessee volunteers. He was honorably discharged April 30, 1814,
after which he returned to his home at Gallatin, Sumner county, Tennessee. He
reenlisted September 28, 1814, in Captain Moore's company. Second Regiment
Mounted Gunmen, as a private, and was killed December 28, 1814, at the battle of
Lake Borgne, Louisiana, when in defense of New Orleans under General Jackson.

There are many interesting events related in connection with the history of
the maternal ancestry from which Stephen K. Stone sprang. His grandfather was
Captain Robert Hicks, who was the father of Kindness Hicks. Captain Hicks
married a Miss Raven, of French-Huguenot lineage, whose maternal ancestors
journeyed to England from France in order to escape the persecutions of the
Catholics. They came from England to America during the colonial epoch in the
history of the new world. Robert Hicks was a son of John Hicks, who lived for
many years on Long Island, and Hicks street in Brooklyn was named in his honor.
Captain Hicks spent his youthful days in North Carolina, the family home being
there established about the time of the outbreak of the Revolutionary war. He
joined the militia troops of North Carolina and at the battle of Guilford
Courthouse his company was placed in front of the trained Colonials. Being
untrained militia, all fled from the assault of the British save Robert Hicks,
who scorned to retreat and single-handed fought the enemy. He finally escaped
from the Red Coats, according to the records in the war department at
Washington, and shared the dangers and glories of the struggle for independence.
The records of North Carolina concerning that period show that Captain Hicks was
issued certain certificates in payment for services rendered as a soldier in the
Revolutionary war.

It was from such ancestry that L. B. Stone sprang in the maternal line. His
parents. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen K. Stone, had a family of seven children: Mary,
who became the wife of George S. Albright of Fayetteville; Stephen R., a
merchant of Olathe. Kansas; Benjamin H., of Fayetteville; William C, of Altus.
Oklahoma; Lodowick Brodie, of Fayetteville; Amanda M.; and Albert Brodie, who is
engaged in the practice of law. The mother gave the block of ground where the
City Hospital of Fayetteville now stands. it then containing only a small brick
building. It was her wish and will that this ground be used for the sake of
humanity and on the board of trustees she appointed one member from every
denomination, both Jews and Gentiles, represented in Fayetteville.

Stephen K. Stone was a man of splendid business ability, adaptable, ready,
alert and possessed of broad information. He was characterized by a genial
manner, affability and generosity and was constantly extending a helping hand
where aid was needed. He made a notable record in the achievement of success,
hut it was his straightforward and creditable business policy that gained for
him the high regard and goodwill of all with whom he came in contact. A
contemporary biographer said of him: "In his relation to the city and public
generally Mr. Stone was simply a modest, quiet citizen without ambition for
politics or for public office. The nearest he came to holding an office was when
he was made deputy postmaster at Fayetteville to protect his interests as a
bondsman for the postmaster. He was reared a whig but when that party dissolved
he became a democrat. He was not a party to any of the events of the Civil war
but was in sympathy with the southern cause and gave it his moral support. He
was a devout member of the Methodist Episcopal church and fraternally he was
affiliated with the blue lodge of Masons and with Washington Chapter, No. 1, R.
A. M."

Lodowick Brodie Stone was educated in the University of Arkansas and in the
Emory and Henry College at Emory, Virginia, being thus well qualified for life's
practical and responsible duties. He afterward returned home and he and his
brother, Benjamin H. Stone, purchased the father's store and carried on
mercantile pursuits from 1880 until 1891, winning substantial success during
that period. In the latter year they disposed of the store and purchased the
farm of David Walker, who had built a large brick house upon the place prior to
the Civil war. When hostilities between the North and South occurred Mr. Walker
and his family removed southward and after the battle of Prairie Grove the Union
army used the house as a hospital. L. B. Stone still owns the farm and he has
altogether five hundred and fifty acres, constituting the best and most highly
improved farm property in the county. Hereon he raises full-blooded shorthorn
cattle, Shropshire sheep and Duroc hogs and is one of the most prominent stock
raisers of this section of the state. He has made a most thorough study of
scientific methods of farming and stock raising and his wide understanding and
unfaltering industry have been strong features in the attainment of his
present-day success.

In 1884 Mr. Stone was married to Miss Juliet Thurmond, who was born in
Nashville, Tennessee, a daughter of James M. and Prairie (Brodie) Thurmond. Her
mother was born in a log cabin in Fayetteville. then considered the finest house
in the town. Mr. Thurmond was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and they were
married near Clarksville, that state. Removing to Fayetteville, Mr. Thurmond
engaged in contracting and building. He afterward took up his abode in Texas,
where he died in 1906. He was considered a very wealthy man for his day, owning
one thousand acres of land, and was also successfully engaged in merchandising
To Mr. and Mrs. Thurmond were born three children, of whom two are living, Mrs.
Stone and Mrs. Mary Whitcomb, a widow residing in Groesbeck, Texas. Mr. and Mrs.
Stone have become parents of a son. Dudley, who is engaged in merchandising at
Pierce City, Missouri. He married Marie Roberts and they have one daughter,
Juliet Annette Stone.

Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Stone are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, with
which they have been identified for many years. The grandfather, Lodowick
Brodie, gave the lot upon which the church now stands to the society and thus
for several generations representatives of the family have been closely
associated with the moral development of the community as promoted through the
activities of the Methodist church. In politics Mr. Stone has always been a
democrat and he belongs to the Anti Horse-Thief Association. He still owns and
occupies the house in which he was born, his father having purchased this large
brick residence from Judge David Walker in 1858, the judge having erected the
building ten years before. Through various connections Mr. Stone is closely
associated with the pioneer development and later history of Fayetteville and
the western portion of the state. He has long taken an active and prominent part
in public affairs and his labors have been so directed that the results achieved
have been most gratifying to the public. His memory forms a connecting link
between the primitive past and the progressive present and there are few events
which have to do with the history of Fayetteville and northwestern Arkansas with
which he is not thoroughly acquainted.

John Alden may be descended from an Alden family that was residing in the parish of Harwich, co. Essex, England: a family that was related, by marriage, to the Mayflower's master Christopher Jones. He was about twenty-one years old when he was hired from Southampton to be the cooper (barrel-maker) for the Mayflower's voyage to America. The Pilgrims' joint-stock company gave him the option to stay in America, or return to England. He chose to stay, and about 1622 or 1623 he married fellow Mayflower passenger Priscilla Mullins, an orphaned young woman originally from Dorking, co. Surrey, England, whose parents William and Alice, and brother Joseph, had all perished in the first winter at Plymouth. A fictional account of John and Priscilla Alden's courtship and its entanglement with Myles Standish, is the subject of the famous Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem, "The Courtship of Myles Standish".

Likely a combination of his practical skills as a cooper and carpenter, and his young wife Priscilla's substantial inheritance of company shares, John Alden quickly rose up to become a prominent member of the Plymouth Colony. He was elected an assistant to the governor as early as 1631 and was regularly reelected. He was one of the men who purchased the joint-stock company from its English shareholders in 1626, and was involved in the company's trading on the Kennebec River. In 1634, he was involved in a fur trading dispute that escalated into a double-killing (trespasser John Hocking and Plymouth colonist Moses Talbot). He was held by the Massachusetts Bay Colony for questioning, which caused a major jurisdictional controversy as Plymouth Colony leadership felt the Bay Colony had no authority to detain him.

John Alden, along with Myles Standish and several other Plymouth Colonists, founded the town of Duxbury to the north of Plymouth. Dendrochronological evidence suggests the men had started building their houses there as early as 1629. Alden served the town of Duxbury as deputy to the Plymouth Court throughout the 1640s, and served on several committees and sat on several Councils of War. He also served for a time as colony treasurer. About 1653, he built the Alden House, which is still standing and is maintained by the Alden Kindred of America.

By the 1660s, John and Priscilla Alden had a growing family of ten children. Combined with his numerous public service duties (which were mostly unpaid positions) he was left in fairly low means. He petitioned and received from the Plymouth Court various land grants, which he distributed to his children throughout the 1670s. He died in 1687 at the age of 89, one of the last surviving Mayflower passengers.
