  Small Pox in Sturbridge
  Charles Stone, of the United States army, a volunteer recruit from Sturbridge, was wounded in the right arm (fractured) during the battle of Antietam; afterwards he was removed to the hospital at Harrisburg, Pa., where he continued until a furlough was granted him the early part of last month. He reached home in Sturbridge, prior to the middle of November, in good general health. His arm was neither painful or troublesome, beyond that which is experienced in the slow process of healing from gun shot wounds. But here he has enjoyed the pleasures of home and the sweets of domestic bliss many days, he was invaded by the loathsome and contagious disease in its modified form, the small pox. Vaccination had softened its violence and made it not dangerous to himself, but it was full of postentious forebodings to those around him who had been exposed.
  The precautionary experience of the wife were far back in childhood beyond her recollection, and afforded no hopes of mitigation from the violence of the disease. The three children, those dear cherubs who so lovingly welcomed a fond fathers return, had been entirely neglected, and the Statute of the Commonwealth, which requires that “Parents and guardians shall cause their children and wards to be vaccinated before they attain the age of two years,” had been wholly disregarded.
  Mr. Stone occupies a large farmhouse of Mr. Charles G. Allen’s, some two miles from the center of Sturbridge and a less distance from Fiskdale, on what is called “Shumway Hill.” it is easily accessible from all sides, and yet retired from the thoroughfares of all commerce among the inhabitants of the town, the traveling public and the attendance of children upon public schools. The locality of the house is high, airy and healthful; and the edifice itself large, commodious and comfortable. It is occupied by two other families besides that of Mr. Stone’s, who have been alike neglectful of having their children vaccinated. There are something like thirteen children in those three families, more than half of whom had not been vaccinated and who had to some extent been exposed to this case of variloid.
  The timely recognition and report of the disease to the proper authorities of the town and their prompt and efficient action as a board of health, is hoped will arrest the spread of the malady and confine it within the limits of the first exposure. Mr. Stone is convalescent. The three children sickened nearly three weeks ago. One died Monday evening the 15th inst. Do the school committee enforce the law which requires children to be vaccinated before being admitted to Schools?
• On 23 Dec 1862 his daughter, Lizzie Stone, died at Sturbridge, Worcester County, Massachusetts, at age 1 of small pox.
• On 29 Dec 1862 at "The Worcester Palladium", Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, Charles was mentioned, from The Worcester Palladium, December 29, 1862(Volume XXIX # 52),
  Small Pox in Sturbridge
  The Southbridge Journal states that Charles Stone, a volunteer from Sturbridge, was wounded during the battle of Antietam, and cared for at the hospital at Harrisburg, Pa., from whence he obtained a furlough and came home about the middle of November. Not many days after his arrival, he was attacked with the samll pox, in a modified form, previous vaccination having softened its violence.
  Mr. Stone is convalescent, but his three little children, neither of whom had been vaccinated, were taken sick, and one of them died on the evening of the 15th inst. Mr. Stone occupies a large farmhouse on what is called “Shumway Hill”, about two miles from Sturbridge center. the house is occupied by two other families, who have also been neglectful of having their children vaccinated. There are some thirteen children in the thre families, most of whom had never been vaccinated, and who have been exposed to this loathsome disease.
• He made application for a veteran's pension on 20 Apr 1863, and received certificate number 17215.
• On 24 Jun 1864 his brother, William James Stone, died at Washington, DC, of wounds from Cold Harbor while serving with the 25th Massachusetts Infantry.
• The following appears in the Stone Family Genealogy, by RC Stone, 1866:

  Simon Stone (Charles' father, and father-in-law to James C. Barlow and George L. Avery, all of the 15th) married Sally Smith, and resides in Southbridge, Mass. He is a farmer, as also are his sons; his son-in-law, Charles Biggs is connected with an iron foundry; his sons-in-law, James Barlow and Otis Barlow, are wheelwrights; another son-in-law, George L. Avery, is overseer of a weaving-shop, and all reside in Southbridge, and in that portion of Worcester County.
  

  The family of Simon Stone is peculiar. We know of no family who deserves its country's gratitude like this. It is a large family and it has largely contributed to the overthrow of treason, and the suppression of rebellion.
  

  Charles E. Stone, enlisted, served a year(15th MVI), was wounded at Antietam, and discharged.

  Henry C. Biggs (grandson, and son of Lucy Stone and Charles Biggs; 4th R.I. Inf. with his father) died of sickness in the army hospital.
  
  James Barlow, (15th MVI, son-in-law) enlisted for three months and again for three years was wounded at Antietam, in the hip, and was discharged.
  
  Otis Barlow (son-in-law, and brother of James Barlow) served in the army two years (1st CT H.A. and 2nd CT Vols.), and came home safe.
  
  George L. Avery, (15th MVI, son-in-law) entered the army, and was shot through the foot and discharged; after it healed he enlisted again, and stayed two years.

  Obituary
  
  Luman Webster Stone, was born in Massena, New York, on April 3, 1841, and passed away at Springfield, Missouri, on July 28, 1934; aged 93 years, 3 months, and 25 days.
  
  His boyhood days were spent in the state of his birth, and at the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted in Company B, 15th Massachusetts infantry. Later he was First Sergeant, Company F, Fourth Massachusetts cavalry. With twenty-five of his men he acted as bodyguard to President Lincoln when he reviewed the army of the James, a few days before the last pursuit of Lee. In one of his first skirmishes he was captured by the Confederates and spent six months in Libby prison. Sergeant Stone rode at the front of an army that pursued Lee, and finally trapped him at Appomattox.
  
  At the end of the war he was given an honorable discharge, and in 1869 came to Iowa, locating on a farm in Massena township, where he resided until 1905 when he moved to Anita. Later he moved to Missouri, locating at Reed Springs, where he lived until 1920, when he moved to Springfield, where he continued to make his residence until his death.
  
  In 1870 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Charles H. Hall of Vermont. To this union was born one child, Earl Frederick, who passed away at the age of 4 years. Mrs. Stone passed away in November, 1914. In December, 1915, he was united in marriage to Mare E. Whitmore, who made him a faithful companion, and who is left to mourn his death.
  
  Following the civil war he went to Wyoming and spent a few years working for the Union Pacific railroad as a cook, and later as a carpenter, but gave up his position to engage in farming.
  
  While there are few living here now that had the pleasure of an acquaintance with the deceased, those who are still here will remember him as a kind and pleasant friend and neighbor, one who took pleasure in scattering seeds of goodness, and who believed in living the Golden Rule. It is the lives of such men as Luman Stone that inspire others on to grander and nobler deeds, and makes the passage from the cradle to the grave a pleasant journey.
• Mary, his widow, outlived Luman and died on 26 Sep 1940 at Springfield, Greene County, Missouri, at age 74.

  William Brandt Storer
  The death of William Brandt Storer, which occurred yesterday morning from heart diasese, at his residence in Cambridge, was a great shock to his friends in this city, where he was widely known and esteemed.
  Though he had had premonitions of the result, few but his most intimate friends were aware of the malady, which was masked by his robust appearance and his hearty geniality.
  It was hard to associate sickness or death with his cheery and abounding vitality. His frank, engaging manner was a the garb of a genuine sincerety and kindliness of heart.
  A striking characteristic was his unobtrusive benevolence. Many are the kindly and charitable deeds which are known only to the objects of his bounty.
  Mr. Storer was the son of the late Robert B. Storer, a prominent merchant of Boston, who for a long time was engaged in the Russia trade, and he was a nephew of Judge E. Rockwood Hoar, his mother being the latter's sister.
  A graduate of Harvard of the class of 1859.....
  Mr. Storer retained a warm interest in his alma mater and besides serving as chief marshal on Commencement Day was ever ready to aid in promoting the welfare of the university.
  On the breaking out of the Civil War he entered the army and served on the staff of General Devens with the rank of colonel. Here as elsewhere he exhibited the devotion to dity and the manly and generous traits which were so characteristic of him.
  He afterward went into business with his father, whom he succeeded as Russian vice-consul.
  During the administration of Governor ??? Mr. Storer was a member of his council.
  He was at the time of his death Russian vice-councul, a director in the National Bank of Commerce, treasurer of the Sailors' Snug Harbor, director of the Reform School at Thompson's Island and vice-president of the Union Club. In these various positions of honor and trust he was ever the manly, courteous gentleman, faithful in the performance of duty and winning the regard of all who were associated with him.
  Only a few months ago he performed the last sad office of respect and affection for his friend and classmate, George Baty Blake, by taking charge of his funeral. Mr. Storer leaves a widow and several children.

  National Prisoners Released, Arrival of Four hundred at Fortres Monroe
  Notice having been received by Gen. Wool, that some 400 exchanged prisoners would be sent down the James River Yesterday, the "George Washington" and "Express" left at about noon for the appointed meeting place.
  The rebel boat was appointed to meet us at 3 o'clock, but at that time she was not in sight, and shortly after a heavy fog shut down, making it impossible to move in any direction. The two boats were then fastened together, and having dropped anchor, waited for the rebel boat to appear.
  The fog did not lift till late in the evening, when the wind blew so fresh that the boats dragged their anchors and had to be separated. This morning at sunrise the expected prisoners made their appearance, on the "William Allison," which it seemed had also anchored for the night a few miles above us. The return passage was made without any incident, and the prisoners arrived here about 10 o'clock this forenoon. The returned prisoners will be immediately sent north. (Note: here follows a complete list of the released prisoners who arrived by a flag of truce from Richmond.)
• On 17 Sep 1862 Jonathan was wounded at The Battle of Antietam, Washington County, Maryland, and lost a leg.

  Diary Entries Sept. 17, 1862 - Sept. 29, 1862
  Sept. 17 (Weds.)
  Battle, Oh horrid battle. What sights I have seen. I am wounded! And am afraid shall be again as shells fly past me every few seconds carrying away limbs from the trees...... Am in severe pain. How the shells fly. I do sincerely hope I shall not be wounded again.Sept. 18 (Thurs.)
  
  Misery. Acute, painful misery. How I suffered last night. It was the most painful of anything have experienced. My leg must be broken for I can not help myself scarcely any. I remember talking and groaning all night. Many died in calling for help..... Sergt. Johnson, who lies on the other side of the log is calling for water. Carried off the field at 10 AM by the Rebs who show much kindness but devote much time to plundering the dead bodies of our men..... Water very short. We suffer very much.
  
  Sept. 19 (Fri.)
  Rained only a little. I had a rubber blanket & overcoat. Rebs retreat. Another painful night. Oh good God, a whole line of our skirmishers are coming.... There are lots of us here lain out.... By and by our boys come along. What lots of the 15th. Captain comes down to get the names and has coffee furnished us- Twas the best cup I ever tasted. Dr. looks at my wound and calls it a doubtful case. Get me on ambulance at 3 PM but do not get to the hospital till nearly dark. Plenty of water which gives us a chance to take down inflammation. Nurses worn out by fatigue. Placed on straw near the barn.
  
  Sept. 20th (Sat.)
  Fearful it will rain. How cheerful the boys appear. Many must lose their arms or legs but they do not murmur.... Leg amputated about noon. What sensations- used chloroform. Hope to have no bad effects. There are some dozen or more stumps near me. Placed in barn beside J. Hughes.
  
  Sept. 21st (Sun.)
  Very weak and sore..... Hot weather by day cool at night. Hard to get nurses. Men come in and stare at us but detailed men clear out & leave us. How pitiously do they beg for water. People come in from all parts of the country. Stare at us but do not find time to do anything.
  
  Sept. 22nd (Mon.)
  Two men died last night..... How painful my stump is. I did not know (I) was capable of enduring so much pain. How very meager are accommodations- no chamber pots & nobody to find or rig up one. How ludicrous for 2 score amputated men to help themselves with diarrhea.
  
  Sept 23rd (Tues.)
  Oh what long fearful horrid nights. What difficulties we have to contend..... Relief can hardly be found. I have at length got my limb dressed by volunteer surgeon. But never was so nearly exhausted for want of refreshment.
  
  Sept. 25th (Thurs.)
  Such nights! Why they seem infinitely longer than days. The nervous pains are killing two or three every night. All sorts of groans and pleadings..... Many patients are leaving daily. Some have gone today to H. Ferry. I watch over J. Hughes nightly. Has had fever. Very cold last night & we are very short for clothing. Sundown just rec'd blankets and beds.
  
  Sept.26th (Fri.)
  Very cold last night. J. Hughes had shakes again last night..... The cold weather may all come for best, certainly maggots do not trouble so much and air is some purer. 4 PM, J. Hughes died..... O there comes Mrs. Gray with refreshments. Such a treat..... I got tomatoes..... just what I wanted. Have since forgotten my stump first hemorrage- it was very copious and tho I had stoutly affirmed that I would not use Brandy, was now plainly told that if not I should be dead in 3 days.
  
  Sept. 27th (Sat)
  Commence taking Brandy none too soon. Dr. tells me I am dangerously ill and must take his prescription in order to change condition of blood. He is earnest & too good a man. Mr. L. Sloan a kind hearted chaplain telegraphs for me. Suffer continuously from position in bed. Have to elevate my stump to prevent bleeding and be very still.Sept. 28th (Sun.)
  Oh what lengths to the nights. The horrid smell from mortifying limbs is nearly as bad as the whole we have to contend. Mrs. Lee and another lady are here daily dispensing cooked broths...... They seem to employ their whole time for us. Move outdoors in the PM. Excessively hot.
  
  Sept 29th (Mon.)
  Slept little more comfortable last night. Got nice soups and nice light biscuit and tart also nice butter from Mrs. Lee. Also she gets me milk again this morning. How the quinine keeps me parched for water and so sleepy and foolish. Am much better off here than in barn. 10 AM my comrade died from 18th Minn. Regt. I recd 4 letters from friends or home but am so boozy it takes the whole AM to read them. Mr. Dr. Kelsey dressed my stump admirably and am quite comfortable if the quinine does not choke me to death. It is far more quiet here but begins to rain.
