Columbus (IN) Daily Herald, October 9, 1897, p. 5. An encounter short of a fatal duel took place at Jonesville Friday between Station Agent R. M. Ford and Mack Reeves. The trouble grew out of a case before Justice Myers at Jonesville a short time ago when Reeves was the plaintiff and Ford was attorney for the defendant. Friday Mr. Ford was standing on top of a carload of coal. Reeves happened up and dared Ford to the ground. Ford jumped to the ground and Reeves struck at him with a slung (sic) shot striking Ford's hat and rendering it unfit for future service. A lively scuffle followed, and the match was finally declared a draw, both parties quitting without a victory to either. Mr. Ford came to Columbus Friday night and purchased a new hat to supplant the one riddled in the scuffle.

Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Ariz., February 4, 1894, p. 4. NOTE: In other newspaper accounts, Stone is identified as Bud Stone and the victims as Wrattans and Wrattens. A SELF-CONFESSED FIEND A Murderer's List Lengthened by Another Victim Washington, Ind., Feb. 3-By a voluntary confession, Stone, the sextuple murderer now awaiting execution in Jeffersonville Prison, adds one more to his already awful list of crimes. When visited in prison by his aged father, Stone related his fearful butchery in detail, closing by acknowledging an atrocity of which he was not hitherto supposed guilty. It will be remembered that little Ethel, the seventh member of the family whom Stone murdered, survived the slaughter though severely injured and for several days hovered between life and death. She was the only living witness of Stone's fearful deed. Suddenly little Ethel died and Stone has confessed to his father that one day he went to the house and, while the family was at dinner, he smothered the little girl to death.

HISTORY OF LAWRENCE, ORANGE AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, INDIANA: FROM THE EARLIEST TIME TO THE PRESENT (Chicago: Goodspeed Bros. & Co., Publishers, 1884), P. 591 John A. Lindley, born in Paoli Township, Orange County, Ind., June 14, 1830, is a son of Aaron and grandson of Owen Lindley. Owen was one of the earliest settlers in the county having located here about the year 1807 from North Carolina. Being of the Quaker belief and opposed to slavery, he left his native state on that account. He was father of a large family of children of whom Aaron was born January 22, 1802, in North Carolina. He came to Indiana with his father's family where he married Ann Lindley, his second cousin, and by her was the father of fourteen children. Of these, John A. was the fourth. Farming and stock dealing has been his occupation through life, and his farm now comprises 250 acres of very good land. His first marriage occurred February 22, 1854 with Nancy Hollowell. Of their family of eight children, Isabel, Nathan, Martha, Homer and Catherine are now living. Her death occurred October 10, 1867. March C. Hutchler became his second wife December 18, 1869, and by her he is father of five children: Axum, Lucius and Rufus now living. Mrs. Lindley is a member of the Quaker Church. Politically Mr. Lindley was a Whig until 1860, and since his vote for Lincoln in that year he has been an ardent Republican and usually manifests considerable interest in public affairs.

Robert Smith, editor, THE FRIEND: RELIGIOUS AND LITERARY JOURNAL, Vol. 1, (Philadelphia: John Richardson, 1829), p. 364. Jonathan Lindley, an elder in the Society of Friends, deceased the 5th day of the 4th month, 1828, in his 71st year. Education in Orange County, North Carolina, soon after he attained manhood he engaged in mercantile pursuits and by attention and fair and honorable dealing, acquired a considerable portion of wealth. Becoming disinclined to the incumbrances (sic) connected with such occupation, and in the hope that, by forming a settlement in the uncultivated forest he might enjoy the retirement which he had long desired, in the spring of 1811 he removed with all his children but one, several of whom were married, and settled near where Lick Creek meeting house now stands. The other child had previously removed there. There were but few families of Friends living there at that period, and being near 200 miles from any meeting of the Society, they concluded to hold one for worship once a week, of which he was a diligent attender; exemplary in his deportment when there, and often encouraged his friends to faithfulness in this indispensable duty of adoration and worship to the author of their being. In 1813 a monthly meeting was established there, of which our friend was a useful member. As the evening of life approached, he grew more and more concerned to prepare for his final change. For a number of years before his departure, the topic of his conversation was often on death and eternity, expressing according to the course of nature, he could not stay long, and his greatest desire was to be ready for the change. When the pernicious doctrine of Elias Hicks was introduced into the neighborhood where he lived, he soon was favored to see the danger thereof and faithfully warned his friends against meddling with it; and through his faithfulness and that of some others, it made very little entrance in the monthly meeting of which he was a member; and he continued to be a faithful advocate for the cause of truth against those wild notions to the end of his life. He had long been afflicted with severe attacks of the colic, and towards the latter part of his time they seemed to increase which made him believe his final change was near at hand; and the first day before his close he invited all his children who were at meeting home with him, and at a suitable time told them he believed his change was near at hand, which he said did not alarm him believing that, through divine mercy, he was prepared, with much more instruction and interesting conversation

In the year 1810 he removed to Indiana and settled near where Lick Creek meeting house now stands and when the monthly meeting was established there he became a very useful member therein.
