He attended Lee High School in West Massachusetts from 1864 and began studying law at the University of Leipzig in 1866.

In the same year he returned to the United States and was initially a treasurer of the Second National Bank in Leavenworth. In 1874 he settled as a farmer and entrepreneur in Madison County , Kentucky. In 1876, he established a short-horned cattle and pedigree horse farm near Fort Estill Station and became the county's second largest tobacco grower.
Stone served as the 1899 Auditor of Public Accounts for Kentucky from 1895 . In 1899 he was defeated in the nomination of the Republican candidate for governor of Kentucky with a few votes against the controversial later incumbent William Sylvester Taylor (1853-1928).
