Mary's father, Henry W. Davis, was a former banker and a prosperous farmer on the "beautiful estate known as the old Village Stock Farm" (one-half mile south of Churchville, Town of Riga), later owned by Senator William Ormrod, who bought the land in 1906. When her mother, Sarah Davis, died in 1906, she left an estate worth $44,000 to her sole surviving child, daughter Mary Stone, as executrix and to her grandchildren. Mary came into an even larger fortune around that time when her millionaire bachelor stockbroker uncle, Samuel G. Davis, died in San Francisco and her wealthy spinster aunt, Jane Davis, died in Galway, New York. When Mary passed on a short time later in 1909, and her husband Albert Stone died in 1910, this fortune was inherited by their only child, Sarah Celeste Stone Sage.
