From the Paullina Newspaper of February 22, 1951:
Ole Stone, 81, took his own life by hanging here sometime Monday night, according to Coroner J. A. Wagner. Mr. Stone had been in ill health for several years, but had been downtown visiting with friends during the previous afternoon.
Mrs. Stone became concerned late in the evening, when her husband did not return from town. Word was sent to night Marshall Hopkins, who later aided by Harry Inwiehe, discovered the body hanging in the garage behind the Hugh Bobzein house where the Stones lived. Coroner Wagner was called immediately. Early in the evening Mrs. Stone had gone to visit friends. Mr. Stone had remarked that he was going to town to watch bowling and added that she shouldn't worry if he was late, that everything would be all right. The time of the funeral has been tentatively set for Thursday at 2 in the Siloam Lutheran Church.
