Early life and education
Eudora Stone was born in Bedford, Michigan, August 26, 1860. When she was young, her parents removed to Nebraska. Her earliest recollections are of the great West, with its prairie billows crested with pleasant homes, its balmy breezes and its sweeping gales. Her parents were highly cultured, and gave her every possible assistance and encouragement. She began to write rhymes in her childhood, and when ten years old a poem she wrote was published in "Our Young Folks". She received a good public school education. In 1878-79, she was a student in the Nebraska State University.Шаблон:Sfn

Bumstead.[1]
Personal life
Bumstead was of Quaker descent, and is like the Friends in her quiet tastes and sincere manners. She had few friends. Remarkably well-informed and having an analytic mind, she was a keen, though kindly, disputant, accepting nothing as proved which did not stand the test of reason.Шаблон:Sfn
The family lived in Beatrice, Nebraska before removing to Ontario, California with their daughter.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
She died in 1892, and was buried at Bellevue Memorial Park, Ontario.
Style and themes
Their only son died at the age of two-and-a-half years, but Bumstead did not write of the sadness occasioned by his loss, believing that it is better to spread light and gladness than clouds and sadness.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
