STONE COUNTY
The Source is: P.M. Pinckard,
The Missouri handbook, St. Louis, 1865, 162 pgs.
Transcribed by Donna Walton
Is situated in the
southwestern part of the State, bordering on the Arkansas line-about
three-fourths of the county timber land-ash, hickory,
walnut and pine-the tillable land about equally divided between bottom and
up-land.
Corn, wheat, oats, Hungarian grass, hemp, tobacco, sugar-cane, timothy,
cotton, and all kinds of fruit yield good returns.
Native grapes grow in abundance. This county is well adapted to stock
growing or raising fruit of all kinds.
Excellent water power on the James Fork of White River, Crane creek and Flat
creek.
Grist mills, saw mills and carding machines needed. Some signs of lead ore,
but no mines open yet.
Climate healthy-land cheap. Good inducements for farmers and mechanics.
