Brigadier-General Roy Stone (1836-1905) TWO OFFICER`S MODEL 1895 HOT-WEATHER SACK-COATS, UNITED STATES VOLUNTEERS, CIRCA 1898 both of unlined linen, trimmed around collars, skirts and fronts with 3.2cm; 1¼in wide cotton braid, concealed buttons at the fronts, hook-and-eye fastenings to the side skirts vents and at the collars and with a cotton braid band on cuffs; single cotton pockets inside left breasts in each of which are labels reading Brig Genl Stone U.S. Vols. These are `hot-weather` versions of the US Army officer`s Model 1895 undress sack-coat and were made for Brigadier-General Roy Stone (1836-1905), the father-in-law of 9th Baron Monson. Roy Stone was born in Plattsburg, New York, and worked as a lumberman in Pennsylvania before the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861. Elected captain and then major in 13th Pennsylvania Reserves - the `Bucktails` - in the spring and summer of 1861, he saw active service before being commissioned colonel of 149th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry in August 1862. Commanding a brigade with distinction in the Gettysburg campaign, Stone was wounded during that battle and, in 1864, given the brevet of brigadier-general of U.S. Volunteers in recognition of his gallant services during the Civil War and especially at Gettysburg; he retired from the army in 1865. For the next 30 years, Stone worked as a civil engineer specialising in road construction and rapid and mass transit systems, being appointed Special Agent, subsequently Director, in charge of the US Office of Road Inquiry in 1893. Stone volunteered his services during the Spanish-American War and was commissioned brigadier-general in the US Volunteers in June 1898; in this rank he served in the Corps of Engineers in Puerto Rico under Generals Nelson Miles and George Garretson, his responsibility being the opening and maintenance of communications networks, although he also distinguished himself in command of flying columns, and he was honourably discharged at the end of 1898. Returning to work at the Office of Road Enquiry, Stone retired in October 1899 and died in Mendham, New Jersey, six years later, being buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Stone Avenue in the Gettysburg National Military Park is named after him. In 1903, his daughter, Romaine Madeleine Turnure, née Stone, married Augustus Debonnaire John Monson, 9th Baron Monson (1868-1940). See R. Field 1998, pp. 33, 38 & (described) 48 and R. F. Weingroff.
