Biography
cartoonist and public servant, was born and died in Western Australia, son of Alfred Hawes Stone and Sarah, née Helms. From 1855 he was a government clerk in Perth and Fremantle. He worked for the Liverpool, London & Globe Insurance Company in 1870-76, then as a clerk in Governor Robinson’s office. His first wife, Emily Elizabeth Ashton, whom he married at Fremantle on 29 January 1863, was the daughter of the assistant commissary-general. After her death he married Emily Amelia Troode at Fremantle on 5 January 1887. There were six children of the first marriage, one of the second. William Stone drew crude cartoons of local topics and people during the 1860s, such as Diggers, W. Australia, in 1867 of two men dining, one demanding at gunpoint 'Pass the mustard’, and the other, armed with a knife, replying 'Help yer sel’ man can’t yer, damn yer!!!’ His view of two convict stone-breakers on the roads is the only known drawing of convicts in Western Australia, according to Reece and Pascoe. Copies of his cartoons are in the Battye Library, Perth. This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography. Writers: Kerr, Joan Date written: 1992 Last updated: 2011
