"While home on a furlough due to his family having an outbreak of smallpox, Mr. Stone was shot and killed by Jim Ingram, a Bushwhacker. He killed John Dudley Stone in front of his family. His son, then 13, stated he would kill Mr. Ingram someday. From Goodspeed History, Barry CO Missorui, pg 78: In November 1870, Jim Ingram, the Arkansas Bushwhacker who killed Mr. Stone in 1864 was killed by young Stone. The youth was 13 years old in 1864 when he promised to avenge his father's murder."
"May 1975 issue of Flashback, pg. 39, Washington County Historical Society. The name of the article is "A Tale of Vengence." There was an insert on the Stone Family saying that Sonora, Arkansas, was named for Sonora, California, the town where John Dudley Stone's brother William Shackelford Stone settled shortly after 1850 (Sonora, Tuolumni County, California). The Cloer's came from Lauderdale Co Alabama (also Fayette Co Alabama to Arkansas. Elisha Lane Cloer (born 1806) died 1859 is buried on Frando Harp Farm (??). This was early Cloer cemetary for his family near Mayfield area on the farm of "Pony" Christopher C. Vaughan, now deceased. William Bradford Cloer's brother, James W. Cloer (born 1829) married Rhoda Ann Smith, a sister to Adaline (Smith) Cloer. Also, Elisha Lane Cloer (born 1806) a brother of George W. Cloer (born 1796) married Susannah Stone as a second wife. Susannah was a sister to John Dudley Stone (born 1819)."
"Mr. Stone was killed by Bushwhackers in retaliation for family members of their being killed (Phillips, Kendricks, Grahams, Wilson, Jones, Ingram). Ingram killed Stone, then John Dudley Stone's son, John, grew up and murdered Rev James Ingram in November 1870, after the war. Today, (according to Billie Byars Lynch) descendants of the Stones, Harps, Kendricks, Phillips, Grahams, and Cloers are intermarried and can claim kinship on both sides of families involved in the Civil War killings."
