Obituary: Pop. Astron. 41, 179 (1933)
Stone was the first director (1882-1912) the new Leander McCormick Observatory, Charlottesville, Virginia (founded in 1882; see picture). Together with Leavenworth, Muller and Parrish he observed nebulae with the 26¼" refractor (f/14.9), made by Alvan Clark & Sons and installed in 1885 (see picture). Stone discovered 88 NGC- and 7 IC objects. 86 of them are "real" (2 are star(s) , 7 "not found").

Stone is mentiond by Dreyer as "observer" for the following objects. But they were found by others due to identities. Two objects (NGC 1205 and NGC 3566) where found twice by Stone. The objetcs with "Swift 1886" might be found nearly parallel. Opposite to Swift, Stone gives no exact discovery date.
