Patrick Stone

His father had served in the British Army in India and Afghanistan and after being wounded there had been invalided back to Britain where he married.

Patrick travelled with his parents[1] and younger brother James on board the convict transport William Hammond,[2] arriving in Western Australia in April 1856.

Patrick received a brief education at the Roman Catholic school at Fremantle, before working for his father on the Greenough farm until around 1880.

On 24 April 1901, he won the seat of Greenough, holding it until the election of 28 June 1904, when he was defeated by John Nanson.

This time he held it until the election of 11 September 1908, when he was again defeated by Nanson, who had returned to Western Australia that year.
