Most of the materials were created by two brothers, Valentine Hughes Stone and Henry Lane Stone (1842-1922), the sons of Samuel and Sallie Lane Stone. Both were born in Bath County, Kentucky but moved to Indiana as children. Valentine Stone joined the 11th Indiana Infantry Volunteers when the war began. Henry enlisted with the Confederacy, becoming one of John Hunt Morgan's men. Valentine Stone remained in the service as an officer with the Fifth Artillery after the war, and died from yellow fever while stationed at Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas, Florida in 1867. Henry Stone became a resident of Kentucky, practiced law, served in the Kentucky General Assembly from 1873 to 1874, and was appointed general counsel for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company from 1905 to 1921. Henry Stone married Pamela Lane in 1866. He and his wife had two children: May Stone, who was associated with Hindman Settlement School, and Junius Stone.
