    The Centre Reporter, Centre Hall, PA, Jan. 21, 1915

    At the remarkable age of ninety-three years, lacking four days, life's journey came to an end for John Stoner, at his home in Millheim, on Thursday last at three o'clock in the afternoon. For a number of years he had been a burden to himself and others because of the loss of his mind, but his wonderful physical strength was slow to show any sign of weakening. Sunday prior to is death he ate heartily, and from that time on he rapidly drew to life's end. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning and interment followed in the old cemetery in Millheim, Rev. W. Donst of the Reformed church officiating.
    John Stoner came to this country with his parents from Germany when he was but eight years of age. When a young man he labored hard and saved every dollar he could acquire, denying himself all luxuries as well as many things which others considered as absolute necessities fo life's welfare. As a result of this strict economy he soon accumulated wealth, which took on the shape of big farms and at one time he owned no less than ten of the best farms in Centre county. He owned considerable property in Millheim and at one time the mill property at Wolf's store. For a number of years he was president of the First National Bank at Millheim, and was a big stock holder. Mr. Stoner was twice married, his first wife being Miss Elizabeth Lingle, who preceded him to the beyond twenty-two years ago.
