Hosea E. Stone (1827-1913) was born in Hardwick, Massachusetts, and died in Springfield, Massachusetts. He was a student of Mary Baker Eddy's, studying with her in September 1880. He joined the Christian Scientist Association in December 1880; however, he never united with Eddy's church and appears to have dropped his association with Christian Science sometime in 1884. He practiced successfully as a mental cure doctor in and around Springfield from about 1881 until his passing.
