I gathered up a few boxes of old pictures, envelopes, and newspaper clippings that belonged to Grandma Theresa Stone. I found a family tree that my father did on large paper around 1980. It lists the names of R. O. “Pop” Stone’s brothers and sisters. It also includes the name of his father and his mother’s maiden name. Using this information as a start on ancestry.com got the ball rolling. The stuff in the boxes along with resources at Ancestry.com and a few other online databases have provided more verifiable facts than I ever hoped to learn. R. O. “Pop” Stone was born Ruben Olin Stone June 26, 1886. Theresa “Mom” Stone was born Theresa Boyle March 23, 1891. Next Pop’s ancestors…
