| Misc. Notes |
Robert W. Van Stone was brought up from his cradle to the occupation so long followed by his father, but with his trade of practical miller he combines a natural aptitude for any mechanical work. He came to Albion on Christmas day 1856, and has since been a recognized resident of the village. In Albion he was first employed in 1857 in the Albion Mills and soon after went for a brief time to Illinois. On March 17, 1858, Mr. Van Stone became a permanent employee in the Albion Mills,
and in 1879 became the owner of one of them. By the Lee failure in 1878 he lost heavily, which considering the fact that it swept away the fruits of years of labor, was indeed a serious loss to him. From the time of the purchase in 1879 of one of the mills at public sale Mr. Van Stone has been proprietor of the mill mentioned, and has succeeded in establishing a large and profitable business. Naturally a busy man, he has nevertheless found time to devote to public affairs. He is an active Democrat and for four years was trustee of the village of Albion. On May 1, 1862, Robert W. Van Stone married Kate E. Hodgman, of Albion, who died on April 2, 1886, leaving one child, a daughter, now the wife of A. W. Richmond. 1198
