Emmalise Palmer Stone
1897 - 1985
Emmalise Palmer Stone, daughter of Harry Harlan Stone and Susan Bonnell Stone, was a life-long resident of Oxford who graduated from the Georgia Normal and Industrial College in 1917. She taught the second grade in the Atlanta public school system until her retirement. She continued teaching in Conyers until 1964.
Emmalise was a vital member of one of Oxford’s founding families and, although she never had children of her own, was thought of by her nieces and nephews as a second mother. Her uncle, George W. W. Stone, Jr,, a noted authority on Oxford history, passed along his custodianship of the Stone Family archives to his niece.
