A Well Known Old Man Dead.

Lewis Stone died on Sunday morning, at the home of Mrs. Margaret Gerz, No. 423 
North Mulberry street.  He was in bad health for a number of years, but the 
direct cause of his death was paralysis, with which he was stricken early in the 
morning.  Deceased was seventy-six years old and was very well known, having 
worked in the homes of a number of prominent men in this city.  He was employed 
for a number of years by John R. Montgomery, who resided many years ago where 
Dr. William Blackwood now lives, on South Queen street.  For a number of years 
he was a key driver on the Pennsylvania railroad, and he also did night nursing 
for the sick, having taken care of the late Col. Hambright through his illness.  
A son and a daughter survive.  He was a member of St. Joseph's church, in which 
funeral services will be held on Wednesday morning, at nine o'clock, with high 
mass.  Interment will be made in St. Joseph's cemetery.
