Stewart still owns a valuable farm of fifty-three acres on section 22, Oakland township. Success has come to him in response to indefatigable labor, judicious management and up-to-date methods. Mr. Stewart-was born in lower Canada, April 15, 1845, his parents being Andrew and Margaret (Evans) Stewart, natives of Ireland. The father came to America when a boy, and the parents moved to Iowa in 1870, locating in Delaware county. From there they came to Franklin county in 1880, making their home near Burdette. They have both passed away. They were the parents of fourteen children of whom seven are now living, as follows: Mary, the wife of James Lowrey, of the province of Quebec, Canada; Robert, of Iowa Falls; A.W.; George, of Colorado; Ella, the wife of Albert Story, of Idaho; Edward, of Iowa Falls; and Susan, who married William Hill, of Dixon, Missouri. Andrew W. Stewart spent the early part of his active career on farms in Vermont, where he worked for several years during the Civil war. In 1870 he made his way to Michigan and there farmed for five years, before coming to Iowa. He became a resident of Delaware county in 1880 and later came to Franklin county, locating near Burdette, making his home there for five years. He then bought one hundred and twenty acres of land on section 22, Oakland township, of which he still owns fifty-three acres. He has brought his land to a high state of productivity and has instituted all modern improvements about his place. He engages in general farming, and his industry, energy and close application to his work have resulted in his financial independence. On April 15, 1868, Mr. Stewart married Miss Olive F. Lee, a native of Canada, and a daughter of Edward and Betsey (Willey) Lee, the father a native of England and the mother born in Connecticut. They had eleven children, of whom five are now living, namely: William, of Boston; Malina, who married Charles Thurston, of Boston; Olive F., who is now Mrs. Andrew W. Stewart; Isabelle, the wife of J. Stevens, of Boston; and Charles R., of Toledo, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart have three children: Cora B., who married Lee A. Montgomery, of Arkansas; Carrie, the wife of Dell Soddey, of Dows, Iowa; and Minnie E., who married J.T. Bellman, of Canastota, South Dakota. Mr. Stewart is one of the progressive agriculturists of Franklin county and has contributed his part toward improving land values In the middle west and raising agricultural standards. He is a republican and has always done a citizen's duty faithfully, although he has never aspired to public office. Fraternally he is a member of the Ancient Order of Odd Fellows, and his religious faith is that of the Congregational church. He enjoys the confidence and goodwill of his friends and neighbors and such success as has come to him is highly merited. (courtesy of Robert)
