Biography

According to an 1850 census [1], Harrison Stone was age 9 living with his parents Zelotes and Hanna Stone (and 9 other relatives), indicating that he was born in Michigan in 1841. This is confirmed by other sources, such as Harrison's death record [12]. He is missing in the 1860 census [2], indicating that he had left the household by that time. An 1861-1865 Civil War record [3] indicates that he was a soldier (Private rank) with the 1st Regiment, Michigan Sharpshooters military unit. In 1868 he married Olive F. Downes [4] (b. 1844) in Macomb County, MI. They had two daughtes, Addie E. [5] and Amy Minetta [7]. An 1870 census [6] shows Addie (age 1) living with her parents plus 4 other relatives. An 1880 census [8] shows only Amy (age 7) (registered as "Minnie", corresponding to her middle name) living with Harrison and Olive. (Since Addie would only have been 11 at this time, there is a mystery as to why she wasn't listed.) A 1900 census [8] lists Minnie (age 27) living with her parents. Harrison became a widower in 1901 when his wife Olive died at age 57 [9], but this was quickly cured when he married Emma Robertson Boshaw (herself a widow) (age 39) in Macomb County, MI in 1902 [10]. Their marriage lasted 22 years until Harrison's death in 1924 at age 83 [14]. In the meantime, Harrison's daughter "Minnie", a nurse, had tragically died in 1905 at age 33 [11]. 1910 and 1920 censuses [12], [13] showed Harrison and Emma living in Ray, Michigan with Emma's son Warren Boshaw (aka Beauchamp) in the household.
