ARCHELAUS STONE.

Archelaus Stone, a carpenter and builder by trade, who was intimately connected with the building interests throughout the southern part of Worcester county, lived on a farm about a mile north of the village of East Douglas. As he became known for skill and industry, work came in from neighboring towns and cities, so that he was eminently successful in business, employing a large number of men. At his death, which occurred Jan. 1, 1856, he left a large family of children, several of whom still live in Douglas.
