"Wednesday~Commencement day at the seminary. The flower committee of the W.C.T.U.. visited our infirmary today, and held the first religious service that has been held in that institution since the present management. They also found fifteen little children exposed to the influences of the inmates. Is there not a field here for missionary work? These children are growing up to manhood and womanhood, while our children's home is still going around on wheels---" (Friday, June 12, 1885)

from Excerpts from The Ohio Press, Steubenville, Ohio 1879-1890

"It is interesting that John Stone spent several stretches of time in hospitals during the war with typhoid fever, for he was to go on to be the Superintendent of the County Infirmary in Steubenville Ohio, where his wife Matilda (they were married in November 1866) worked along side of him, and where she ultimately died at age 38 of typhoid after a long illness. One obituary describes her as having "been a most efficient assistant to her husband in the management of the Infirmary," and another obituary says that "she had greatly endeared herself as an angel of mercy, spending night after night, showing the extent of sympathy and welfare for those committed to her care."
