This note from Gerald Hirsch of the Mo State Archives: "I am pleased to announce that the transcribed Birth and Death records are now available on the Missouri State Archives' web site located at http://mosl.sos.state.mo.us/rec-man/arch.html. " Stone County does not have any Birth & Death records for years before 1910, however there are records online now from surrounding counties, so it might be worth your time to have a look at those.
