Martha Jane Stone, a longtime Lexington musician who had lived in our neighborhood since 1933, died Wednesday at age 97. At the neighborhood history program in May at Bell House, she told some delightful stories about her memories of the neighborhood, from bus companies competing for passengers on Cramer Avenue in the 1930s to the World War II victory gardens on the other side of National Avenue.
