Note on Husband: Patrick STONE
Patrick Stone was born at Buncranna, County Donegal, Ireland on 14 March 1854. The eldest child of James Stone and Ann Dorethy Docherty, Patrick arrived in Fremantle in 1856 at the age of two years. He was educated at the Roman Catholic School in Geraldton. On completion of his schooling, he worked on the farm owned by his late father in the Geraldton district where he continued until the age of 25.
He was married on the 8 February 1880 to Helen Emily Roe at St. Peter's Chapel, Bootenal, Greenough, WA by Rev. Fr. A. Lecaille. (Marriage Registration no. 4837/1880).
Pat Stone then established himself in business in the town of Geraldton. He became well known as one of the pioneer commercial men of the place. He was a prominent supporter of the lead and copper mining industry around Northampton. He also owned the Commonwealth Hotel with adjacent block of buildings of which his general store formed a part.
While still a young man, he was elected to a seat on the Greenough Roads Board(Paul Fisher was Shire Engineer for the same municipality- now known as the Shire of Greenough - for 5 years from 1980) , and later elected as a member for the Geraldton Municipal Council which he served for fourteen years and retiring upon his election as a member for the Greenough district in the Western Australian Legislative Assembly, an office he occupied for six years. His platform was that of an Independent Liberal, and while in Parliament he played an active part in breaking up the large estates for closer settlement. He was also successful in his persistent agitation for the construction of a railway line to the Chapman district and later to the Murchison district.
