Read More	Death of Mrs. R. L. Stewart Mrs. Sarah M. Stewart, widow of Mr. Robt. L. Stewart, died at her home in Monroe last Wednesday morning, at the age of 67 years. She had been sick a long time and for the past seven months she was confined to the bed. She suffered untold pain and was very anxious for the end to come in order to be relieved from her suffering. Stomach trouble was the cause of her death. Funeral services were held at Central church Thursday afternoon and the interment was in the Monroe cemetery. Messrs. Robt. Crow, W. B. Houston, Pickett McLarty, W. S. Lee, J. E. Stewart and W. B. Love were pall bearers. Mrs. Stewart's maiden name was Phifer, and she was a sister of Mr. W. H. Phifer and Mrs. E. A. Armfield. She was reared in Vance township, and was married to the late R. L. Stewart in 1867. They spent most of the time on their farm, and later at Unionville, where they moved to educate their children, and finally lived some years in Florida. On the death of Mr. Stewart eight years ago, Mrs. Stewart built in Monroe and moved here, where she has since lived. She is survived by the following children: Mr. B. F. Stewart of Florida, Mr. Plummer Stewart of Charlotte; Rev. S. A. Stewart, missionary in Japan; Mr. Sidney Stewart of St. Louis, Mr. Cyrus Stewart of Monroe, Mrs. L. N. Presson and Misses Agnes and Annie Stewart of Monroe. She was a lifelong member of the Methodist church. Having been all her life a woman of great energy and activity, the forced inactivity of ill health bore heavily on her. She had all her life lived so that she was ready to die, and when health and activity left her, she was anxious for the end to come. A coincidence with the death of Mrs. Stewart is the fact that her son, Rev. S. A. Stewart, was to be married last Wednesday, the day of his mother's death. Being so far away, the news of her death was not cabled him, and the presumption is that the marriage service took place at the time set. Mr. Stewart, whose first wife died not very long after they went to the foreign field, was married Wednesday to Miss Lannius, a missionary.
