Dr. Phebe Stone, estimated to be born in 1891, was a physician and medical missionary operating out of Jiujiang, China. She was the younger sister of the notable missionary Mary Stone, also known as Shi Meiyu. Her family was from the Hubei province in China and were one of a handful of Christians in the area. From a young age, Stone and her sisters received a western, Christian education under the American missionary Gertrude Howe. After high school, Stone went on to Goucher College in the United States for her undergraduate degree and later was awarded a fellowship to attend Johns Hopkins, where she received medical degree in 1918. This made her the first Chinese woman to graduate from the medical school. Afterward, Stone briefly worked as a medical intern at a women's hospital in Worchester, Massachusetts, then returned to her hometown of Jiujiang to take over the Danforth Hospital established by her sister Mary. She later founded the Bethel Mission and its encompassing hospital in 1920 along with Mary and the American missionary Jennie Hughes. There, she continued her medical work as a doctor in the mission hospital until she contracted tuberculosis and her illness progressed until her death in 1930.
