Ho hA been under tho medical attendance of n, Purchas for sovoral years, and Jl was believed to bo afliicted with dMO» of the heart and liver, which •Tntually terminated in his death. nV l'archas rocontly had consultations with f. r' o th9r medical men with reforcnoo to Mr Stono's ailment. The deceased had their most ablo services, but without avail. For X«t aw"ok past the patient had no pain, »nd eradually declined until ~.!0 tins morning, when ho passed away most pence Syinasort of faint Ho had been stay lat tho rosidencoof Mr Fry, of Messrs Bycroft and Co., which is situatod in f-ofton Rond, and tho hinoral is to Icavo horo on Friday afternoon next, as will bo mn from the usual obituary notico. Cap tain James Stone was born at London on December 29th, ISIC, so that ho had passed hi< 65th ysar. Ho emigrated with Mrs Stone and arrived in Wellington in ISIO. A f e w weeks, howovor, covored his stay thorofind he camo to Auckland, where he has beon until recently actively engaged in business, first as carpenter and timber morchant, and latterly as general merchant. Mr Stono arrived horo with hit kit of tools, and by hard work and in dustry speedily placed himself in a good financial poßition. Ho built many houses 'n tho earlier days, and tho last he erected WBB pulled down only a few days ago at Emily Place. In 1851, along with his eardenor and two others, Mr Stono had Lilt the h'rft steamer over put to cether here, the Governor Wynyard. Ho ran her in Auckland harbour for about six months, and then sent her over to Victoria, whore the gold fever was at its height. On the river Yarra Mr Stono ran the steamer for six months, and then disposed of her at cood profit, and ho returned to Auckland in 1555. Then he founded a mercantile establishment, then known as C. J. Stone M d Sons, which has sinco grown and prospered, so that it is now carried cut on in extensive ecalo. Tho deceased gentle man took an active part in business up till the last ten years, when ho retired from tho firm. When a son who haa sinco died rent into business with Mr C. B. Stone, tho title of the fi:-m was altered toStone Bros., as it haß sinco remained. it C. J. Stone during his lifetime too': i prominent part in the formation oionr large public companies, notab'.y tho Bank of New Zealand, New Zealand Insur joceCompany, Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Auckland Gas Company, Land Mortgage Company and ho has been on the directorate of quite a host of other institu tions such aa the .Northern Boot Factory, ShortUnd Sawmill Company, Bycroft and Company, the Union Oil, Soap, and Candle Company, Sutherland and |Company (tan ners) 4c. He always took a deep interest in thedevelopment of the Thames Goldlields, and he was concerned in the working of nearly every nino on tho field. So far did be givo in an effort to develop the gold iields that it la estimated he calculated through them quite £50,000, and yet his profits from this great outlay are said to amount to less than £100. Mr Stone was a prominent member of the Weslayan Church, ho was, in fact, the fonnder of that church in Auck land. In charitable matters Mr Stone has been somewhat misjudged, and thoso who knew him best testify to numorous acts oibenovolence which he did in that quiet and unostentatious manner characteristic of imedf. The deceased gentleman leaves a jmily of nine sons and daughters all mar ried. Two of hia sons died a few yean ago at the agea of 25 and 29. The eldest son is Mr O. B. Stone, of the present firm of Stono Bros., and the jonwertMr Arthur Stono, of Messrs Stone and ntes, of Sydney. Of children and padiHdren Mr Stono leaves sixty, all told, most of whom are well-known ttangbmt Auckland, and who sincerely won tk loss of ho who has been to to a good father and a Hsuerpajguardian.
