[3058] Annette's obituary from the Thursday, March 14, 1929 Port
Allegany Reporter & Argus, entitled "Well Known Lady Dead":
Mrs. Annette Stone died Saturday at Home of Daughter on Church
Street
Mrs. Annette Lillibridge Stone died at the home of her daughter
Mrs. Millie Manning on Saturday morning at 3:30 o'clock after
an illness which had lasted during the past two years and for
the greater part of which time she had been confined to her
room.
She was a patient, cheerful suffferer and her faith and
unvarying optimism has been a great comfort to all those who
have known and loved her best.
Mrs. Stone was born October 20, 1849 to Mr. and Mrs. Elias
Lillibridge. Her father had the distinction of being the first
male child born in Port Allegany.
It was away back in 1815 that Judge Samuel Stanton came to our
little city and with him came Lodowick Lilllibridge who the
year before had married his daughter Anna Carpenter Stanton.
Their son Elias was born in 1817.
Elias was married to Miss Jane Grimes and to them four children
were born: Annette who married Ervin Stone, Wilbur Lillibridge
who married Miss Eva Clark, Ada who married first George Baxter
of London, England and after his death married his cousin Frank
Baxter of New Brunswick, Canada, and John Lillibridge who
married Miss Alma Card, now of Susquehanna, PA., all of whom
with the exception of the last named have passed to their
reward.
The children of Lodowick were: Elias Lillibridge, Samuel
Lillibridge, Alva Lillibridge, Mrs. Phoebe A. Vanderhule, Mrs.
Hannah Green, Mrs. Amy Baker, Mrs. Lucy Hull and Lowell L.
Lillibridge.
Ervin Stone and Annette Lillibridge were married at this place
August 11th, 1870 and to this union were born Ernest E. Stone
of Meehan Junction, Miss.; Edwin R. Stone and Mrs. Millie
Manning of Port Allegany, all of whom with five grandchildren
mourn the loss of a most devoted mother and grandmother.
Ervin Stone who died October 26, 1922 also belonged to an old
pioneer family and was the son of Gorton Stone of Southern
Pennsylvania and wife Marilla White Stone of Ceres, PA., who
were for years prominent in the early lumbering opeorations of
the Lillibridge creek section.
Mrs. Stone has made her home with her daughter who with her
husband Charles F. Manning have tenderly cared for the dear
mother in her declining years, ever since the home was broken
up after the death of her husband.
Mrs. Stone had unusual ability along several lines but will
probably be remembered best for her fine readings which have
proved of great inspiration and of much value. Her love of
flowers was mot pronounced andher success with the beautiful
blossoms has won her many friends and has brightened up this
drab old world not a little.
She was educated in the local schools and at the Smethport
Academy and taught for seven terms most acceptably throughout
this part of the state.
She was a valued member of Liberty Grange, her husband a
charter member, and her worth to this organization can scarcely
be estimated. She was a true friend, and loved by a large
circle throughout this community where she has so long resided.
It is to just such as the fine gentlewoman that we owe much of
the old-time community spirit which is as valuable today as in
the rare old times of helpfulness in the past.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock
at the home on Church Street, the Rev. E. D. Woodall,
officiating. The parlor was one bower of the beautiful flowers
which she loved so dearly. A quartette composed of Mrs. Hector
Dardenne, Miss Elizabeth June, Messers Rodney Holden and August
Kline sang "All the Way My Savior Leads Me" and "Jesus, Savior
Pilot Me."
Burial was made in Fairview Cemetery, the following old friends
and neighbors acting as Pall Bearers, William Burr, Almond
Burr, Chester Manning and Charles F. Manning.
Among the out of town relatives and friends in Attendance at
the funeral services were: Mr. & Mrs. C. W. Lillibridge of
Smethport, Mr. & Mrs. B. E. Baker, Mrs. Valney Morey, Mrs. Eva
Noether of Roulette, Mrs. Delphine Grover and daughter Verna
Wiepper of Burrville and Mrs. Nora Mangold of Franklinville,
N.Y.

[2099] He was a famer and had an extensive farm on Lillibridge Creek,
which was still in the hands of his descendants in 1984.
[2101] His obituary Friday, April 15, 1887 in the Post Reporter, Port
Allegany reads:
Elias Lillibridge died at this home on Lillibridge Creek on
Monday evening, April 4th 1887, aged 67 years, two months and
14 days. He leaves a wfie and four children, two sons and two
daughters to mourn the loss of a kind and tender husband and
loving father, also three brothers and four sisters, nearly all
residents of this place, of whom he was the oldest. It is
supposed, and of this there is little doubt, that he was the
first white male child born in this township, his father's and
his mother's family, the Stantons, being about the earliest
settlers of the county, a good portion oft he land on which
this village now stands being at one time owned, and partially
cleared by his father, Lodowick Lillibridge. At that time the
game in this vicinity was numerous. One could hear the wolves
howling at night, bears and panthers would closely approach the
settlers homes, and it was not an uncommon sight in the early
morning to see a small herd of deer contentedly grazing with
the cattle, close to the house.
For years previous to his death, Mr. Lillibridge had suffered
considerable with an ulcerated and inflamed leg, which was
aggravated by incessant labor, as long as he was able to be
around, and which, to some extent, was the cause of his death.
In his younger years, he made many clearings in the dense
forest, and has, by contract and otherwise, made many miles of
roads, the first made in the county.
He was a member of the United Bretheren church for the past
fourteen years, during which time he led a consistent Christian
life, firm in the faith of our Blessed Savior, and has
repeatedly of late expressed himself as anxious and willing to
leave this world of sin and sorrow, for a better home above.
[Note: there was a poem included with this obituary, but due to
poor microfilm copy it was impossible to read.]
[11500] He and Anna raised a girl names Della J. or Ardell Welch. AS
they were too old to legally adopt the child, she was adopted
by their son John C. and his wife Alma.
