| 464 | BIOGRAPHY OF JOHN & JOAN STONE JOHN STONE, #11,264 on my lineage chart, son of Richard Stone and Isabel Girdier, was born ca. 1575 in Parrish of Croston, Lancashire, England during the reign of good Queen Bess. Except for the religious strife, Elizabeth was extremely popular with her subjects. She chose able and wise advisors. Religion was her initial problem as queen. She reverted to Protestantism after the death of Queen Mary I. Her first Parliament had Protestant majority. Parliament passed between 1559 and 1563 religious legislation that became the doctrinal basis for the Church of England Catholics and Puritans were persecuted throughout her reign. National confidence being restored, England was able to develop industrially and economically on a national scale. She grew into a great maritime power after the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Foreign trade was encouraged. In the eyes of England "Elizabeth was England", known as the "Virgin Queen". With the aid of the Roman Catholics, Elizabeth's cousin, Mary Queen of Scots who she had befriended plotted to gain the throne from Elizabeth. The plot was discovered. Mary,Queen of Scots was executed in 1585 when Richard Stone was 10 years old. Elizabeth;Elizabeth's popularity waned at the end of her reign because of her heavy expenditures and her abuse of royal power. Her policies had become weaker. Her reign was disturbed by a revolt in Ireland led by Hugh O'Neill, the second earl of Essex. He was executed in 1601. Elizabeth died on March 23, 1603 in London. John Stone married Joan at the turn of the 16th & 17th century. They were Puritans. They raised 6 children in England. James I, son of Mary, Queen of Scots succeeded Elizabeth I to the English throne in 1603. She was the last ruler from the House of Tudor. James I was the first English ruler from the House of Stuart. From the very first, James I alienated the Puritans. However, he did have the Bible translated into the English language. The strict Puritans were growing and disturbing England's religious peace. They were making a commitment to stricter morality. James I was very harsh with them. The Puritans had grown greatly dissatisfied whit the Church of England which they felt were still too close to the Roman Catholics. Religious unrest reached its height when William Laud became Archbishop[ of Canterbury in the 1630s. A Roman Catholic conspiracy, "the Gunpowder Plot" to blow up Parliament in 1605 confirmed the English's fear of Rome. In 1607, England began planting colonies in America. Some of the Puritans were fleeing to Holland and then to Plymouth, New England in 1620. James I died in 1625 and was succeeded by Charles I. During the wars that followed, Charles I was defeated and beheaded. Oliver Cromwell,a staunch Puritan became the ruler of England. Cromwell had a difficult task of holding England in a Puritan course. I am inclined to believe that John Stone and his family were staunch Puritans. John Stone migrated to Virginia with 3 of his sons, William, John and Matthew in 1648. John and Joan Stone's, son, WILLIAM STONE,II who married VERLINDA COTTON and became Governor of Maryland is my 11th great grandfather. (written by Mildred R. Jenkins, Williamstown, Ky on Mar. 9,2000) From "Pillars of Maryland" by Francis Sims McGrath: p. 111: " Gov. Stone was important in his day in VA as well as MD, but his father, Captain John Stone, was a more amusing member of the family. The carousals of this gentleman with Gov. Van Twiller of Manhattan have gained a place in history. On one of these cheerful occasions his prank was to seize a New England and force the crew to steer for VA. When followed and brought back, Van Twiller saved him from punishment in Manhattan, but New England brooded over the insult. His folly having taken him to Massachusetts bay, Miles Standish traveled from Plymouth to prosecute him for piracy. He was also charged with adultery, and a few other offences of the kind, all of which he staved off until he referred to Justice Lodlow, the trial judge as "Just Ass Lodlow", a brutal play on the word justice. His other crimes were forgiven but for those words of ridicule he was heavily fined. Proceeding to Plymouth, he threatened Gov. Bradford with a dagger before sailing into the Connecticut River to make the last mistake of his life. He quarreled with the Pequot Indians, who listened for a time to his sharp tongue and then silently killed him. This led to the Pequot War which caused the death of many innocent people, so one mischief led to another and all stemming from revelries in Manhattan, as many mischiefs do to this day." courtesy Larry R Alexander alexlary@crosslink.net | Stone, Capt John * (I280)

| 490 | Daughters of the Nile is a benevolent international organization for women who are related by birth or marriage to a Shriner/Master Mason or Daughter of the Nile. Founded in 1913 by 22 progressive women with strength of purpose and vision, it boasts 148 Temples throughout the United States and Canada. The 39,000 members of Daughters of the Nile are proud of their heritage and are grateful the Shrine of North America for allowing us to assist with the patients at the 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children. The deep and lifelong friendships that develop within the membership in our two wonderful countries provide a value that cannot be measured in dollars and cents. It is a privilege to belong to Daughters of the Nile. Our philanthropic purpose is deeply embedded in our history. Since receiving permission from Imperial Shrine Headquarters in 1924, Daughters of the Nile has contributed monetary gifts amounting to $40,803,123.19 for the children at Shriners Hospitals. Each year, through our Supreme Temple Convalescent Endowment Fund and Convalescent Relief Fund, Daughters of the Nile contribute a million and a quarter dollars or more to the hospitals for the various needs of the children. In addition, many Temples sew garments, quilts, provide toys, hold parties for the children, as well as log many, many volunteer hours in the hospitals. In reality, over three million dollars is contributed to the hospitals by Daughters of the Nile each year. We are proud of the fact that Daughters of the Nile is recognized by gold plaques on the recoginition boards of all 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children, representing contributions of at least $1,000,000 to each. The commitment and dedication to our philanthropy is evident in the generosity of our members. Fund-raising events are held at the local level, and in 1997 we introduced an incentive program that provides gifts for monetary contributions from $10.00 to $2,500 or more. To date, well over $1,525,000 has been generated with this effort. While Daughters of the Nile take our work for the Shriners Hospitals very seriously, there are also many opportunities for fun and fellowship. Participation in the Subordinate Temples and their Units and Clubs strengthens the bond between members. Each Temple holds social functions in addition to regularly scheduled sessions and fund-raising events. Daughters of the Nile enjoys its heritage through its close fraternal association with the Shrine of North America. We stand strong and tall in our effort to make a difference. Our pride and strength is achieved by having enthusiastic and hard-working members of all ages, and we welcome questions and interest in our organization. We pledge to make a difference as a society for women who care enough to extend themselves beyond the limits of our own personal world to assist in the worlds' greatest philanthropy; Shriners Hospitals for Children.

| 492 | Decatur County Journal - Iowa Thursday, January l6, l9l9 January lst being the 50th anniversary of the marriage of J.H. MERRILL and wife, of North Leon, they, with their children and grandchildren celebrated the occasion. On January l, l869, occurred the wedding of J.H. MERRILL to GRACE H. MITCHELL, of Clinton, Illinois, in which state they lived until l896, moving from there to the Hamilton place at Kingston, now Delray, and later to the J.S. Ryan place north of town, after which they purchased the John Strong place, four miles south and one mile east of Van Wert at $22.50 per acre, which place they have owned until recently when they sold to George Redman for $ll0 per acre. They moved in November to Leon. There were born to this union nine children, one being called in infancy to that better home. The other eight are still living. They are CORA DUVALL, Des Moines; LEW MERRILL, Leon; LENA COWLES, Des Moines; CLIVE MERRILL, Van Wert; NELLIE COFIELD, Des Moines; GERTIE HUNT, Siola; GRACE GARBER, Leon; and ELMER MERRILL, Leon. All of the above were present at the celebration except LENA COWLES and ELMER MERRILL, who were both confined to bed on account of influenza. The grandchildren now number twenty-seven, two of whom are in the Army, namely; ROSCOE DUVALL, at Jackson, S.C., and LEO DUVALL, with the A.E.F., in France. The day will be one long remembered; especially hard to forget will be the one great feature of the day, the noonday feast which was generously partaken of by all who were present. The day was quite cold. The nearby children went early to their homes wishing the happy couple many more happy years added to their lives. The children from away departed on Friday feeling amply repaid for their trip. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leon Reporter - Leon, Iowa Thursday, January 8, l925 On New Year's Day there was a pleasant gathering of children and other relatives at the home of MR. and MRS.

| 493 | Decatur County Journal - Iowa Thursday, March 8, l906 Married at the residence of the bride's parents, MR. and MRS. J.H. MERRILL, in Franklin Township, last Sunday at high noon, MR. F.W. GARBER and MISS GRACE MERRILL, Rev. J.F. St. Clair, of Des Moines, officiating. A number of relatives and near neighbors of the contracting parties witnessed the ceremony after which all were invited to the dining room where a bountiful repast had been prepared. To say that the dinner was superb, would be putting it mildly and to say that the guests knew how to do justice to such a dinner would be no joke. The contracting parties were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents. A reception was given the young couple at the home of the groom's parents, MR. and MRS. J.F. GARBER, Monday and by the surrounding community Monday evening. A general good time was enjoyed by all. These young people have a large circle of acquaintances, having grown from childhood in this vicinity. The young couple will go to housekeeping on what is known as the McClure farm, near Crown, here they will be at home to their friends. A host of friends wish them a long, prosperous and happy life. | Family (F2625)

| 494 | Demastus (demastus@aol.com): Shows the full name to be William Glover Bishop; much of the info on descendants of Matthew Bishop from him. He got middle name from someone else and I am trying to check it out, but no response yet. Later, Michael Bishop confirmed middle name thru land sale records. RE: William Glover Bishop's middle name. One probable connection. Henry Bishop and son Joseph Bishop held the rank of Sergeant in the 1754 North Carolina Colonial Militia, Colonel Eaton's Regiment. Henry's sons John and George were Privates. Captain John "Johnny" Glover was in charge of the Granville Co. Company. John Glover's father, Joseph Glover and brother, William Glover also served in this Company. The Glover's were apparently close neighbors and could have moved into NC at the same time, as Joseph Glover's father, William Glover was from VA. Another point. A deed abstract, Jan. 25, 1768, Mecklenburg Co., NC. William Glover Bishop to William Barron was signed, William Glover Bishop and Lucy Glover Bishop. Don't know what this connection is. Possible marriage connection? (Helen B. Smith believes that Lucy was Lucy Glover, possible first wife of William Glover Bishop.) This information was provided by a James Bishop to Mailande Schrum and forwarded to me. "Charles H. Bishop" Helen B.

| 499 | Dr. Eugene Morgan Hughes, former president of Northern Arizona University, Wichita State University, and Eastern Kentucky University (interim), passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 10, 2021 in Flagstaff, Ariz. A well-known and beloved educator, administrator, mentor, and friend, Gene is most deeply missed by his immediate family, including his three children: Deborah (Hughes) Cruze (Gary), Greg Hughes (Barbara), and Lisa Hughes Zyriek (Don); his grandchildren: Melissa (Cruze) Hahn (Michael), Aaron Cruze, Rebecca Cruze, Stephanie (Hughes) Argetsinger (Nicholas), Clark Rotroff (Stacy Trejo), Franklin Zyriek, and Elizabeth Zyriek; his great-grandchildren: Nikki, Zoey, and Nathaniel Argetsinger, Clark Rotroff, and Olivia and Isaiah Trejo; and his first wife, Caroline (Hartwig) Hughes. He is also survived by his second wife, Margaret Ann (Romeo) Hughes; her children: Jeff Cibik (Melissa), Mark Cibik, and Christi (Cibik) Kalmer (John); and her grandchildren: Austin, Jake, and Logan Cibik, Autumn Cibik, and Taylor and Brian Kalmer. Gene was born on April 3, 1934, the only child of Hazel Marie (Griffith) and Ruby Melvin Hughes in Scottsbluff, Neb. Although he grew up in very humble circumstances during the Great Depression, he was encouraged by his mother, an avid learner and reader, to believe in the transformational power of education. Gene was also influenced by his grandfather Harry Stillwell Griffith, a farmer, mechanic, and inventor. Summer vacations spent on the Griffith farm taught Gene the value of hard work and strengthened his ambition, self-reliance, and ingenuity. He graduated salutatorian from Scottsbluff High School in 1952, where he was class president, a member of the National Honor Society, and earned four athletic letters. The first in his family to go to college, he attended Scottsbluff Junior College (now Western Nebraska Community College – WNCC) before earning three degrees in mathematics: a B.S. from Chadron State Teacher’s College (1956), M.S. from Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science (1958), and Ph.D. from George Peabody College for Teachers at Vanderbilt University (1968). Alongside these steady academic achievements, Gene married his high school sweetheart, Caroline Mae Hartwig, in 1954, and together they raised three children, Deborah, Greg, and Lisa. Gene was a popular and respected math professor at Chadron State College (CSC). While there, he became aware of the newly developing discipline now known as computer science and technology. At that time, little was known about the subject, so Gene created courses to help students learn as much as they could about this burgeoning field. Decades later, when attending a CSC Math Club reunion in 2011, Gene told alumni “… it was the highlight of my career” to learn about the successes his former students achieved in their own careers in industry and academia. While a professor, Gene had also been involved in college administration, which would become his passion. His career in university administration flourished, and after serving as Dean of Administration at CSC, he joined Northern Arizona University (NAU) in 1970 as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. After frequently relocating for Gene’s studies, his family eagerly adopted Flagstaff as their new “hometown” and became active in the community, with Gene serving on the boards of the Museum of Northern Arizona, the Flagstaff Summer Festival, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Boy Scout Council. He was also president of the East Flagstaff Rotary Club and a member of the Masons and Elks Lodge, even running the Elks "Hoop Shoot" free throw contest. Meanwhile, Gene’s career continued to prosper. In 1973, he was promoted from Provost of Arts and Science to Vice President of University Programming and in 1977 became Academic Vice President. By the time Gene became a grandfather at the age of 48, he was already President of NAU, a role he would fulfill faithfully and enthusiastically from 1979 until 1993. Gene and his first wife, Caroline, finalized their divorce in 1992. He later married Margaret Ann (Romeo) Cibik and together they relocated to Wichita, Kan., where he served as President of Wichita State University (WSU) from 1993-1999. Gene also served as Interim President of Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) in 2001, before the couple retired to Flagstaff. In retirement, Gene remained actively involved in the community, including as a member of the National Advisory Board of the NAU School of Hotel and Restaurant Management (which he had helped found as President), chair of Amtrak’s National Customer Advisory Committee, and co-President of Flagstaff’s Society of St. Vincent de Paul. He was also President of the Museum of Northern Arizona, a director of First State Bank in Arizona, and member of the Advisory Board of Sunwest Bank. In addition, Gene sat on the boards of the Flagstaff Sports Foundation and Flagstaff Hospital Foundation and was a grant writer for Horses, Heroes, and Hope, an organization founded by his son, Greg, to provide equine-assisted therapy to veterans, first responders, active military, and their families. Over the years, Gene received many honors and recognitions. He was given the title of President Emeritus at both NAU and WSU and Professor Emeritus in Mathematics at NAU. He was also awarded three honorary doctorates: NAU in 1997, CSC in 2003, and EKU in 2011. Gene was a fellow of the National Science Foundation and named an Outstanding Educator in America. In 1982, Gene received the Chadron State Distinguished Service Award and in 1986, he and then-First Lady Caroline Hughes were named NAU’s Homecoming Co-Dedicatees. Gene was selected as Flagstaff’s Citizen of the Year in 1988, received the Distinguished Mathematics Award from Kansas State University for 1989-90, received the Arizona Board of Regents Medal in 1993, and was chosen as the Outstanding Kansas Citizen of the Year by the Kansas Society of Professional Engineers in 1998. Gene was elected secretary/treasurer of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities in 1988 and served as chairman in 1990-91. The School of Hotel and Restaurant Management building at NAU was named for him in 1997, and WSU dedicated the Eugene M. Hughes Metropolitan Complex in 1999. In addition, Gene was commissioned an Honorary Kentucky Colonel in 2010 and an Admiral in the Great Navy of the State of Nebraska in 2013, both of which are the highest honors that can be awarded by the governors of those states. The accolades continued into Gene’s golden years. He was inducted into the Flagstaff Sports Hall of Fame in 2011 and NAU College of Education Hall of Fame in 2014. He was also named WNCC’s Distinguished Alumni of 2014 and received the Nebraska Community College Association Distinguished Alumni Award in 2014 and Coconino Community College Distinguished Service Award in 2016. (Gene was instrumental in founding Coconino Community College in 1991). Gene was recognized locally, regionally, and nationally as a visionary in higher education and leader in all the communities he touched. A life-long learner whose greatest joys included reading, traveling, sporting events, and nature, he made authentic connections everywhere he went, with many considering him a role model and friend. As his family mourns his passing and reflects on his notable accomplishments, they recall that what impressed them most of all was his character. Gene was a kind, intelligent, diplomatic man who listened patiently, cared deeply, sought compromises, and treated everyone with dignity. He made all who interacted with him feel seen, heard, appreciated, and loved. His wit, wisdom, and warm, dimpled smile will be greatly missed, but his legacy endures in the memories of how he touched all our lives. Gene’s family will host a public visitation on Friday, March 26, 2021 from 4-7 pm at Norvel Owens Mortuary in Flagstaff. A public Celebration of Life will also be held later this year. The family invites those who wish to commemorate Gene to donate to the several funds he had established at either NAU or WSU. NAU donations can be made in loving memory of Gene to Fund 1499 Drs. Eugene M. and Margaret Ann Hughes Education Scholarship and/or Fund 1514 Eugene M. and Margaret Hughes HRM Scholarship. Memorial gifts may be directed to the NAU Foundation online or via mail.
