He did not attend college, but did educate himself enough to become a school teacher in Tennessee. In 1855, Stone moved to Eastport, Mississippi, where he served as the station agent for the Mississippi and Ohio Railroad at Iuka. Upon the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, he joined the Army of the Confederate States of America in April and fought in several major battles, including “Sharpsburg” (Antietam) in Maryland, “The Battle of Wilderness” in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, and “Gettysburg” in Pennsylvania. In 1865, he was dispatched to Mississippi to round up absentees and deserters, and was eventually captured during a fight in Salisbury, North Carolina while trying to return to his command. He was sent to Johnson’s Island, Ohio and then released on July 25, 1865. After the war, he returned to his position as station agent for the M. & O. Railroad, and was later elected mayor and treasurer of Tishomingo County, eventually serving in the Mississippi State Senate. Stone is the longest serving governor in Mississippi history with two terms – 1876 to 1882, and again from 1890 to 1892. When Governor Ames resigned in John Marshall Stone Papers, 1899-1900 PP-002 2 1876, Stone was made President Pro Tempore, or acting governor, of the Mississippi Senate.
